Re: Panama to Mexico (Sea of Cortez)

Re: Panama to Mexico (Sea of Cortez)

Thanks for the feedback. Have you used it?


I only ask because we bought the rains guide for the Western Caribbean and found it was not worth the $$. It felt like it just tried to cover too...

Howdy folks,


After two seasons in the Eastern Caribbean, we're currently in Guatemala (Rio Dulce) and looking at longer term route planning. We're like to get through the canal in the next year...

Re: Does your high-water alarm sound in the cockpit?

Ours is ridiculously loud and no problem at all hearing it in the cockpit. In fact before we left to go cruising our primary bilge failed and a neighbor 1 pier over heard the noise and tracked down...

Re: Rio Dulce to Panama

So does this imply that Nov is the time for a trip like this?


We're liking the idea of an H-season in Rio Dulce. Followed by a cruise up through Belize and Mexico and then heading down to...

Re: Rio Dulce to Panama

How about making the run from the Cancun/Isla Mujeres area? Seems like it would improve the angle to the Vivarillos area, but not sure it’s enough with the current.

Re: Rio Dulce to Panama

Thanks Belizesailor. Would love to see the pics if you don’t mind reposting.

We’re still trying to decide if Rio Dulce and cruising Belize is worth the pain of having to bash our way East again...

Rio Dulce to Panama

Re: How often do you expect to rebuild your head with full time use?

Howdy Peggie, probably a stupid question but...why not just remove the intake hose and squirt superlube into the intake?

Truly appreciate all the input.

Re: How often do you expect to rebuild your head with full time use?

Re: Gulf Coast: How long to transit the ICW from Kemah, TX to Pensacola, FL?

Re: So, how hard do you scrub your bottom anyway?

Thanks fstbttms, was hoping to hear from you on this one.

I’d guess we give it a light scrub every month or 2. Not sure it’s actually required this often but seems to be easier if we keep up...
