Chasing Waterfalls in Boquete; First Mates Days off! (Calico Skies Sailing Ep 119)

Grace wanted to visit the mountain highlands of Boquete, Panama since she first saw the immense peaks of Volcan Baru on the horizon and in this episode the first mate finally get’s her wish! The trip begins first with closing the sea cocks to make sure Calico Skies is snug at the marina before we depart. Next, we take two panga boats from Bastimentos island to Isla Colon, and then onward. Because of the steep mountain range that cuts across Panama, our indirect route requires two more legs before arriving into Boquete- First a bus ride through the windy, steep roads of rural Panama followed by a car ride. Finally we arrive and check out the local nightlife during what turns out to be a major festival for the town of Boquete. The next day we hike to a waterfall popular with the locals but not typically visited by tourists. The highlight is swinging off a real vine into the deep, and cool crisp water. Perfectly refreshing on a humid day, our swim is followed by a late lunch in town. Lastly, we sample the coffee grown locally as well as the chocolate, in town. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Enjoying our channel?
