When I was in Colon on the East side of the
Panama Canal a few years ago there were a few boats left there
on the hard, they seemed to be well looked after. The
Balboa Yacht club on the Pacific side burned down in 1999, very sad, it was a unique place but you could call the
Panama Yacht Club at +507 6616 2408, or you could transit the
canal and keep your boat in Colon for the
Winter. The
Caribbean would appeal to me much more than the South American Pacific coast anyway. Alternative option for me would be Callao,
Peru. There's a great Yacht club there, I'm sure you could negotiate a relatively
cheap and very safe hard
storage deal.
