Colombia to San Blas

Carolina

Said good bye to Colombia and headed towards Panama. The first night was tough and conditions were not as predicted. 35 knots of wind, our jib was tiny but maintaining 7.5 knots of speed, lightening all around, waves crashing into the cockpit and heavy rain. 2nd day, still sailing maintaining good speed. But after this first night, everything calmed down, maybe a bit too much 😅 the wind dropped but honestly provided for a glorious night shift with bioluminescent phytoplankton, the starriest of nights and a decent night of sleep. The next day we motored through which meant a lot of dips in the open ocean. And after an amazing sunset we pulled into San Blas. We are in disbelief with this place. Just doesn’t seem real. We’ve seen dolphins, met locals, walked the through this paradise.. how can you have just arrived somewhere and already be sad that you’ll eventually have to leave?!
