Colon harbour check in
Friday, 25. April 2008, 10:06:34
Hi All,
We sailed into Colon harbour yesterday, checked in with an agent, had the admeasurer aboard this morning for boat measurements and all the documents and now await a date for transitting through the Panama Canal.
After leaving Cartagena we stopped a night at the idyllic San Blas islands. These are the picture perfect white sand, palm tree abundant, largely uninhabited, islands most people dream about. There we met a fellow yachtie who had just sailed back to San Blas from Panama having got his transit date in six weeks time! They are having a "Working To Rules" strike here and us grotty yachties are not at the top of the list. It seems we could have almost two months to wait.
