We think this island has it all, beautiful beaches surrounded by crystal clear water, jungle, smiling happy locals and of course the very rare three toed Pygmy Sloth. There are less than 100 Pygmy Sloths left and they are all on Escudo. We feel very lucky to have seen one of these endangered animals. We had been told that we should not miss Escudo de Veraguas so we waited and waited for the right weather window to leave Bocas and make our way there. It didn’t disappoint! We were lucky enough to have the whole anchorage to ourselves. Soon after arriving we were greeted by 3 friendly locals selling us their daily catch. We don’t like to buy fish, as you never know how long it’s been dead and out in the sun for, so we opted for some live crayfish instead. We also arranged a tour of the island for the next day. When morning broke we knew we were not keen on leaving Mokara for the whole day unattended. It was rolly and squally. Not good combinations in an exposed anchorage where boat are known to drag anchor. So we postponed our tour to the next day, and instead spent our day exploring the beaches close by the boat. The next day the weather was perfect. We packed our snorkelling gear and set off following our guides in their traditional canoe. They took us through a maze of turquoise channels, dotted with islands and white sand beaches. All completely untouched! It was simply stunning! We were introduced to their family and got to see how they lived, so cut off from civilisation. The trip took most of the day, and we got to see all around the island. Afterwards we invited our new friends on board for a beer, which they really enjoyed. On leaving Escudo we caught a huge Spanish Mackerel. The wind was light so we raised the spinnaker. After sailing for a couple hours we heard a loud boom, and realised that the spinnaker had suddenly filled with wind and blown out! We were all devastated, we loved that sail and had enjoyed a few great sails with it. Sadly a new one is very much out of our cruising budget now. We wanted the sail material to go to good use. And we knew the Guna Indians in San Blas were always grateful for sail cloth to make sails for their dugout canoes. So we took our torn sail to our favourite family in Coco Banderos. They were super pleased, and we were happy the sail would have a new life. Song: Arc North - Symphony (feat.
