LEAVING THE DOCK AT RED FROG MARINA, PANAMA

FEBRUARY 2, 2015

The sky is partly cloudy with a light breeze.  Looks like a great day to get off the dock.  We will be anchored just off Red Frog Marina until the weekend and hope to be on our way back to Portobello by early next week. 

THE LIST GROWS SHORTER

DOOR ON THE BOSONS LOCKER

NEW BOW SEAT AND CHAIN GUARDS

We have been finishing up a few chores, walking the mountain paths and sleeping late.  You can get very lazy living on the dock.  Time to take ourselves back out into water world and prepare for the last part of our circumnavigation of the Caribbean.

Hard to believe, in April it will have been 3 years since leaving the dock in Kemah, Texas.  How time flies and life changes.  Living out here on the edge has taught us many things.  One of the most important, there is always more to learn and more beautiful things to see.  The world is big and there is much, much more to explore.   Putting ourselves out there in the big world has been an experience we will treasure all our lives. 

It's Perfect is anxious to be turning north, after being gone for so long  returning to the USA is exciting. Good old American food is high on our list of things to do first.   We will have time for long visits with family and friends and will catch up with our children and grand children's lives .  The list of boat chores will go on but things will be checked off one at a time. 

After a couple of weeks in Portobello we will leave for our longest to date passage from Panama to Honduras to see the amazing Whale Sharks of Honduras, the largest fish in the sea.  This trip of 800 miles out on the open water will be the beginning of the last part of this leg of  our journey home.

We have been diligently studying new places.  What will be the next great adventure after our stay in the USA?  For all of you that know us there will be new things to see and learn wherever our new path takes us.
