Re: Panama Experience Welcome...

You don't get tornadoes in the San Blas either, which can be fun in Florida and the Chesapeake. People drag anchor in the San Blas too--there are some places with less than great holding, and...

Re: Panama Experience Welcome...

People seem to worry much more about lightning in Panama and the San Blas than they do in Florida, but I don't think it is any worse. It is a bit hard to make out, but this map seems to show more...

Re: Panama Experience Welcome...

Re: Panama Experience Welcome...

The folks over at Shelter Bay could probably bring it in for you and have it delivered there too. Don't know what the price would be. If you went in to the marina I'm sure some of the other dockers...

Re: Panama Experience Welcome...
