Best period to visit the San Blas islands ranges from November to August. Leaving the out the months of September and October might be a good idea due to the rain and squalls that occasionally appear in the region. The Archipelago of San Blas and the more than 365 islands that compose it is known to be the best and very last untouched Caribbean sailing destination. We mentioned in other posts how Panama has no recorded hurricanes and no major storms like for example the windward islands, including the BVIs, USVIs, Bahamas, St Maarten, Antigua and Barbuda, etc. This point might seem irrelevant, but it is not. Hurricanes are something very serious that can wipe out entire fleets like it die some years ago in the BVIs As said , luckily, San Blas and the whole Panama is not in the way of such destruction. Adverse climatological episodes in San Blas, although not common, can happen. Tropical storms or the famous local "chocosana" or "culopollo" are local storms that can occur from May to October, originate in Colombia and run through the whole San Blas to later continue up to Costa Rica . This phenomenon brings rain, thunder and wind to the San Blas region and can last up to 45 minutes. This adversity is taken into consideration not only for deciding which anthorages are the right ones but also for inbound and outbound flights as well as road and water taxi transfers. Best time to visit San Blas depends on your interests. High season December - April brings more sailboats and tourists to the region, not that it gets very busy though, whereas May to November tends to be much quieter and laid back. High season - Low season charter conditions are somewhat similar Rain is basically a rare episode during the high season. Adverse climatological circumstances in the busiest months are something very are limited to higher winds than usual that can be forecasted and taking into consideration when designing the corresponding catamaran charter itinerary. During the central months of the year, we might see sporadic rain showers that tend to last up to an hour. Tropical weather in Panama translates to humidity and heat which is a match to take into consideration. When booking your catamaran during summer or if someone in your group is sensitive to the heat, no matter the season. it is is highly advisable to choose one with air conditioning like the Salina 48. You might not need the A/C during the day, but at night and while sleeping it’s a different story and a good night sleep puts you in the right mood.

Breaking in my 2.8L M20 on a DTS dyno. The smoke is from some accidental motor oil spill and some ran down the manifold. 15mins into the run it burned off. Made 177ft/lb @ 2500rpm with no tune during break in.

Wagyu Omakase: Show vs. Soul This journey through A5 Wagyu showcases a range of cuts, each paired with high-quality ingredients flown directly from Japan. Every course is seasoned with world-class elements like truffles, caviar, and the finest cold-pressed olive oil - sometimes one, sometimes all at once. We chose the wine pairing for the meat, of course. There were a lot of ingredients. Almost too many. Technically, it was impressive. The craftsmanship was undeniable. Everything was executed at a very high level. But when I sit at a table like this, I’m always listening for something quieter - a spark, a story, a feeling that stays with you long after the check is paid. Can a high-end performance replace the emotion of a recipe shaped by time and care? It was professional. It was premium. But for me, the most expensive ingredient is not always the most memorable one. Have you ever had a meal that was flawless and expensive, yet somehow missed that “magic” spark? What do you value more: the perfect performance or the unforgettable flavor?
