Cynosure on her way back into the water last Monday, four fresh coats of anti-fouling paint in place. Forestay with roller furling and backstay (not visible) still not attached.
No new posts here for a while, as I’m soon on my way to Panama and will probably take ten days or a couple of weeks to get to Bocas del Toro. I’ll be island hopping rather than cutting straight across (check your favorite atlas): from Cartagena to the San Bernardos and then to Isla Fuerte. From Isla Fuerte it’ll be an overnight hop to Snug Harbor or somewhere around there in the San Blas islands, or Kuna Yala (Kuna Nation) to the Kuna people whose territory it is. Then easy day sails up through Kuna Yala, a longish day from the western end of Kuna Yala to Isla Linton or Portobelo, and another overnighter from there to Bocas. That’s the idea, at least; we’ll see how things actually turn out.
