Caribbean, Panama Canal, Pacific Crossing

In early January 2021 the sailboat arrives at Isla Mujeres, which is just a short ferry ride from Cancun, Mexico.

About February 1 or 2 or 3 we'll depart Mexico and sail south. Maybe Belize, maybe Honduras. Then on the way to the Panama Canal.

Due to the high cost of mooring at night we'll either be at anchorages or sailing during the night.

We'll find shallow areas to snorkel so bring your mask, snorkel and fins! Also, I might take a PADI reftesher course for a day or two. Join me?!

COSTS: With the exception of the marina at Isla Mujeres we'll split the costs of a mooring and any fees the marina charges. You can buy your own groceries or we can split the costs.

For protein I'll rely on freshly caught fish. Perhaps you'd like to do so as well. For propane, to cook, we'll split the costs evenly.

If all goes well, the plan is to visit islands in the South Pacific and then on to New Zealand. After that, Asia.

And if that Pacific crossing is not to your liking feel free to disembark beforehand. Please just let me know your plans beforehand. Thanks!
