    Nice catch Garry. You should post these photos in my floundering "Fishing" tread in GD.

    Glad you enjoyed that, I know I did. Over the next year or so we will be doing 20 000 miles or so, so I will be posting a few more photo's. Not all of them will be fishing but just whatever is interesting.:) :)

    So I was planning on posting a few more pics when I got to Panama however I only have more fishing photo's. Right now we are moored at Flamenco Marina in Panama nice spot will be great when the marina is completed. Looks like we will be transiting the canal tomorrow, then off to Aruba hopefully I can dodge the incoming weather.

    Panama has come a long way in the last few years

    It has been a few years since I have been this way. It's amazing how much Panama has progressed, new marinas, services and in general a huge improvement. Found a great little marina on the Caribbean side "Shelter Island Marina" we shall be spending Christmas here. We were planning on Aruba however with questionable weather coming I decided to pull up here for a few days, over the years I have spent more than one Christmas at sea and the idea of another as well as it being lumpy was not appealing.
