Thank you! I’m always trying different things!

Realmente no se. Creo que salen de Puntarenas, porque es el más grande pueblo en el Golfo de Nicoya

¡No tengo ningún idea!

We left Monterrey on 11/26/2021 at daybreak, and arrived at Morro Bay the next afternoon around 3pm.

Sounds like Colon has not improved

Have you sailed the Columbia River? It has a very strong current. we sailed downstream, back to Portland (around the 11 minute mark in the video)

if you're adventurous, you can kiteboard from Punta Chame. Don't go in March, the water was full of stinging jellyfish!

Yes! You’re right! Thanks for catching that

Ft. Amador, perhaps, or Albrook AFS.

Amador

Grácias! Te lo agradezco!! Thank you, I appreciate it!

I have eight 100W panels but I’ve never seen more than about 250W come from them. Two are very old and the flexible ones don’t seem to be too efficient. Don’t know I’ll tackle it this year but I’d like to replace all of them with hard panels

We’re staying in Panamá for the hurricane season…I think. The risk here isn’t hurricanes but lightning. The other option is Rio Dulce Guatemala but we’re undecided.

That was in July or August. The airfield is only open during the summer

@@SVMiette Thanks. Cool music too! I think we may take our Ercoupe up there next month.

Bring a bottle of red wine for Alan. He's the volunteer caretaker. He'll appreciate it and you'll appreciate all the work he puts in to keep this the best fly-in campground in the PNW. They have courtesy bikes and a courtesy car. The nearby restaurant was excellent.

This area is accessible only by boat. There is a road on the other side of the bay, but it may be exclusively for rangers patrolling Parque Nacional Santa Rosa

That sounds terrible. Land ownership in Panamá seems tricky

@SVMiette yes Oct 1st 1979 all the Zonians were crying.

It's a place to leave your boat or work on your boat. There's not much more to do than that. We were there way too long!

Mexico is the same way. Things are built cheaply and poorly, and when they start to fall apart, they're just abandoned

People buy into a tropical dream. People get sold a tropical dream. Yes, it can be beneficial to buy these properties while they are dirt cheap because they're so remote, but it can take decades for society and development to catch up to these areas to allow a profitable business. In the meantime, people exhaust their funds and are forced to close up shop. It's a nice dream, and it sounds great when you're discussing it over drinks with a local realtor under the palm trees and beautiful ocean view. My father-in-law who has lived in Panama for 45 years likes to use the phrase "...they're selling the dream..." when he sees people viewing properties in Panama with a realty company. "It's easy to buy in Panama but hard to sell in Panama" is a fact that must be taken to heart when buying property in Panama or other countries. Think long and hard about all the factors, and know that it could take years to sell your dream property should you want or need to. Rent or go small ($) if you want a piece of the tropics. If it works out, great. If not, at least you will not have tanked your retirement funds on a dream that did not work out for whatever reason...

You may not be surprised at the number of geographically-challenged Americans that think Baja California is in the state of California.

@@SVMiette Ok, and you can make a diference if you share that information on this video.

We know better now!

Yes, villages on the sea tend to be humid, but while we were there, a nice breeze kept us comfortable.

@@SVMiette so i think baja wd be better weather, i will try la paz

Thank you Hawke! Super glad to virtually have you along for the ride!

we're always the smallest boat in any anchorage, but we have the same views as everyone else! thank you for the comment!

Hahaha...No Kidding! Proves less is more​@SVMiette

the island is for sale! (can't find a price, though)

@@SVMiette Oh, with no price, it is free.
