Well i know that there were a few people worried about me and byron on a boat in the high seas. We are alive and were adrift for just six days. it was a really amazing experiance, though there were some hickups the trip was out standing from what we were able to see. There first two days were mostly just sailing, byron and i took turns sailing the boat trying to keep it true. The landscape was amazing and we sailed through a lightning storm, no major waves or rain just a light show!
We stopped at some very remote islands and areas that are protected by local law. Dennis is like family to alot of the locals so we had a really rare experiances at those places. Byron and i both studied alot of spanichiwa, read alot and burned abit on the boat. I was slightly disappointed by not having snorkles, all of dennis's had been stolen and we could not find the scuba shops to get some. On the boat with us were a couple of germans (that were stranded in a small town in colombia with no money), 6 brits, 3 auzies and a Londoner. All nice people, not everyone mixed but as canadians we had fun with everyone.
After we arrived in Panama we took a two hour rollercoaster school bus ride, then had to stand on another passing bus for two hours to panama city. Byron on the bus was talking to a American that was looking for some guys to give him a hand getting his boat through the panama canal (which he failed to mention to me at the time) but declined thinking i would not be interested. shame on you byron. We did some browsing around the commercial center and bought a few things in panama city. It is a very american city with alot of latain flavor. After some food, and much needed showers we went out with the british lads and ripped up the town.
next stop is Bocas Del Toro
