After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.

As days go by we decided to simply stop trying to make inform decisions as no weather forecast have been able to effectively predict the wind this week... So here we are crossing heavely trafficked narrow channel with a strong current on the boaw... Virtually no wind on the back and the engine tgat devided to die... But as my friend eddy says . It's what it's.

Sunday afternoon rain caused the creek behind the Wilhoit house to flood. The noise in the video is the sound of water over the rocks.
