Deixamos o veleiro na marina aqui no Panamá e em alguns dias partimos pra Argentina. Ainda temos muitas manutenções pra fazer no barco antes de partir pro próximo destino, confesso que estamos tão cômodos nessa marina que não estamos nos preocupando com a data da partida... Logo seguiremos viagem, os próximos destinos são EUA, Europa e voltar ao Brasil. Mas nada é certo vivemos um dia de cada vez, pode ser que mudemos de ideia e façamos outra rota. O único plano por aqui é não ter planos! E assim vamos vivendo já que vida é uma grande viagem, não um destino. ⛵️🌊🌎

@boatfools I love coming across these old sailboats - they look to me both sad and beautiful. It does look like someone has done or is doing some work on her. Looks like she would be a real beauty... The name on her stern is ROBIN - and looks like she hailed from Moss Landing, CA. Anyone know her story?
