Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hello. My name is Mike and I’ve been sailing and fixing up my boat for the past 4 years mostly in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, but have been as far as Colombia (last year) and currently in or around San Blas.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safeusually single handedshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurelearn a languageface challengeslive off the gridmulticultural
I purchased the boat in Bocas del toro just before the pandemic and have been here about 1/2 time since. I return to the US where I work in hospitals and clinics.
The boat has required a lot of work over the years and now is ready enough further destinations.
I'm currently at Linton Bay Marina for 5-7 doing some repairs and maintenance and I plan to sail back down to San Blas where I have several friends with there own boats meeting me.
