Panama Bay where we are anchored following our fantastic 3,000 mile voyage from Ensenada, Mexico.
We left in the early hours on Wednesday 29th July and arrived in the Bay early evening on Sunday 30th August a total of 33 days at sea - what a trip!
We were invited to sail with Boris and Shirley to help with towing of the three ships. It has been an adventure - we have seen dolphins, whales, turtles, birds (even having some hitch a ride with us) encountered a couple of heavy storms, plenty of rain, loads of sunshine and some fantastic sunsets. We stopped briefly at Manzanillo for supplies and Guatamala for re-fueling. This took longer than expected as all three ships were boarded by the Guatamalian Military, very scary at first but once they carried out the task of checking the ships they were posing for photos...

12th October 2020
We said good bye to the three ships, Pacific Aurora (Salty), Rose and Rose,s tender .
Due to Covid restrictions we were finally permitted to leave the ship and enter Panama this was after a further 6 weeks on board the ships. We were not idle as the ships had been a bit battered by the storms so we had plenty to do to keep ourselves busy and by the time we left they were looking great after their long voyage.
