Is it Safe to Sail in the San Blas Islands? The San Blas Islands is the safest and most unique year round cruising grounds for all kinds of travelers in the world. Unlike other parts of the Caribbean, the archipelago of Guna Yala is a hazard free region thanks to the indigenous communities and their close watch on all situations. If you have traveled or sailed the Caribbean for sure you have at least had an encounter with some of the pushy locals that often show up next to the boat demanding some sort of collaboration in one way or the other. Merchandise and tours of dubious nature at unreasonable prices are offered from their colorful boats; pricey lobster and other goods are also pushed with insistence. Cordially denying any of the offers might work at times but the reality is that most of the times it just doesn’t work and if the situation is not handled correctly it quickly escalate into and uncomfortable situation. Touristic sail grounds all over the Caribbean and the rest of the world for that matter come together with that sense of uneasiness not found in parts of the world where tourism is limited and no big yacht charter agencies are found like the San Blas Islands. Throughout the years, locals indigenous have had the chance to continue developing their own approach to what a conscious and respectful with the ecosystem life should be. Having sailed the San Blas islands for years we can say that the only reason San Blas is still for the most part intact and the best Caribbean sailing destination is due to the fact that the land, the islands, cannot be sold to foreigners or any outsider not part and the indigenous community. With self determination like in the San Blas autonomous region comes the agility in any process needed to maintain order in any way and that includes security. Closed indigenous communities are excellent when it comes to dealing with any security issues. In case of any event or alert such as the approach of a local squall or culopollo-chokosana, response by not only the Guna authorities but also from all chiefs or sailahs and the whole boating community is swift. A catamaran cruise in the San Blas islands is not only completely safe but also a mind enriching experience that will stay with you for years to come.

Designed to redefine bump & jump performance, the 3S carries on its decades long legacy in this exciting field of windsurfing. 🙌 . Rest assured, the 3S still delivers controllability, early planing and speed across a wide range of conditions, but with an added punch of power and acceleration. . 🏄‍♂️ @takumasugi 🎥 Jamie Hancock . #tabouboards #tabouwindsurfing #notjustbetterdifferent #windsurfing #bumpandjump

Come procedono i lavori? Come vanno le cose? Ma soprattutto… ha smesso di piovere da voi? 😂 Il giorno del varo si avvicina, il giorno in cui torneremo in acqua. Come stiamo riuscendo a gestire lavoro al pc e lavori in barca onestamente non lo sappiamo neanche noi. E non è che lavoriamo due orette e per la giornata siamo a posto 😄 Arriviamo a fine giornata esausti, ci si chiudono gli occhi e appena tocchiamo il letto crolliamo a dormire (zanzare permettendo). Ma siamo soddisfatti. È gratificante prendersi cura di qualcosa e vedere che migliora giorno dopo giorno. Con la testa siamo già in mezzo all’oceano, tra le onde che inghiottono l’orizzonte ad avvistare delfini e balene, a ospitare uccelli che si sono persi, a guardare l’infinito e sentirci completi. Sento che la fine del viaggio si avvicina e non sono ancora pronta. Vorrei afferrare il tempo e tirarlo fino a farlo rallentare, per scacciare questa sgradevole sensazione di affanno per le cose che non stiamo vivendo, per i luoghi che non stiamo scoprendo, per le ore trascorse al computer. Poi però respiro e mi ricordo che va bene così. La vita, come il vento, è tutta una questione di punti di vista. A domani ✨ Camilla
