San Blas Islands, Panama
We had an excellent 24 hour beam-reach sail from Cartegena to the San Blas islands. Siggy and Hilary took a couple of watches from me and Gayle so it was a cushy trip for all but Pete and Tony (but they like sailing).
There are no interwebs here. I am sending this on a slow, creaky, edge network. But, the islands are picture perfect. And, yesterday, we bought fresh fish and molas from Kuna people who came up to the boat in dugout canoes.
A guest’s eye view from On Delay (Part I)
Wren, of Wren & Laura, our recent and most wonderful boat guests, left me (Jane) with a Word doc of her observations and musings about life on On Delay and Colombia.

Parapente en Ruitoque (or parasailing in the Andes)

On Sunday afternoon, Jaime took us to Ruitoque — a parasailing location par excellence. There is a very professional club (Las Aguilas) that offers tandem flights. Tony, Jane, Sonia, Juan David, and Sarita (ages 15 to 50+) signed up for 20 minute flights.
