After almost two months in the San Blas Islands, we have decided to move on. We hope to leave the West Limons Wednesday morning, weather permitting. We will travel as far as Isla Grande, which is 42 miles from here, a nice day trip. We will spend a couple of days there, and then head around the corner to Portobello, 11 miles further.
Portobello is full of history, with lots to see and do. Christopher Columbus landed there in 1502 on his fourth voyage, and Portobello was founded in 1597. We will celebrate Brett’s 16th birthday there, on Sunday, September 19th. This is a milestone birthday, so we will make it special. Given the fact that we don’t have a vehicle for him to take a driver’s test, we are going to give him a “dinghy licence”, that is, if he passes the test. Greg and I have a test figured out, which will include a written exam as well as a practical test, including parallel parking. Should be interesting! There are a few restaurants in Portobello, so we can even take him out for a birthday dinner.
From there, we will go up the coast of Panama, to Bocas del Toro.
We should have internet in Portobello, so we will send out an email/blog post then. We now have a cell phone, you may have to dial 011 first, and the number is: (507)6034-3075. We’d love to hear from you!
