| s/y Nine of Cups Panamá 2003 & 2008 |
Things change. We were in Panama in 2003 and did a Canal Transit. When we returned in 2008 the procedures for check-in and check-out had changed, the immigration rules for US
citizens had changed and there was a new marina (Shelter Bay) and the usual rumors that the Panama Canal Yacht Club might be closing. Some things were new; some were starting to look
worn; and others were downright worn out. This country as the "crossroads" of the world unites two oceans. We revisited some places and enjoyed exploring new places. Our travels
included the San Blas Islands, two Canal transits, the Chagres River, Islas Perlas (Pearl Islands), the Darien rivers and Puerto Pina on the Colombia border. There's much more to see, but
we just never seem to have time for it all. Click on highlighted words below to view.
