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.

Che non è una parolaccia, ma il termine per descrivere il tensionamento delle sartie, i cavi di acciaio che sorreggono l’albero. Come sapete, un lungo viaggio ci attende e stiamo facendo tutto il necessario per condurlo in sicurezza. Siamo agitati per la partenza? Abbastanza. Il ritorno in Europa sembra essere la parte più impegnativa del viaggio, così dicono tutti i velisti con cui parliamo. Ma le uniche tre persone che lo hanno già fatto con cui abbiamo chiacchierato ci hanno assicurati che potrebbe essere anche più tranquillo dell’andata e noi vogliamo affidarci al loro parere. Spero in tanti avvistamenti marini, in albe e tramonti da togliere il fiato e in lunghi momenti di pace che solo l’oceano sconfinato sa trasmettere. Sono questi i pensieri che ci accompagnano mentre lavoriamo al pc fino a tardi, per recuperare il tempo che abbiamo dedicato al rigging e per portarci avanti per i prossimi giorni. La partenza si avvicina. Per aiutare anche voi a rendervi conto di quanto sia alle porte l’oceano Atlantico vi dico che la prossima volta che butterò la canna da pesca in acqua in cerca di una squisita lampuga (ovvero il primo momento disponibile) sarà quando partiremo per attraversare. Fa sembrare tutto molto più vicino, non è così? Adesso che abbiamo qualche giorno per parlarne, c’è qualcosa che vi piacerebbe vedere o leggere della traversata? Se sì scrivetelo nei commenti 💪 A domani! C.
