December 24th, 2012 to January 1st, 2013
I haven’t written anything yet about Bocas del Toro, Panama. Unfortunately, it is the rainy, buggy season here, and that has coloured our impression of the place.

Panama City and the Canal
Panama City, December 13 to 17th, 2012
We spent some days in Panama City. Pete & Gayle flew in from NJ, and Yogi, the awesome harbour master at Green Turtle Cay Marina, drove Tony & Jane to the Wyndham Tryp hotel in Panama City — 2.5 hours from the south east coast where we left On Delay.
Seafood in Kuna Yala
November 2012, Kuna Yala
We really enjoyed the seafood in Kuna Yala. Fruit and vegetables in the shops were scarce and mostly poor quality, but the fresh seafood almost made up for it.
Imagine door-to-door salemen offering fresh fish, crab and lobster at reasonable prices. With Gayle away, Tony and I tried particularly hard to tire of crab and lobster. [For the record, I discovered it takes me three days and then I need two days off.]
Shannon in Kuna Land
Kuna Yala, November 2012
Shannon and CJ came to visit On Delay for a week in November. Shannon wrote this wonderful journal of her time with us and kindly agreed to let us share it with you, our blog readers. (I added in the photos; many taken by Shannon but some taken by the rest of the crew.) I hope you enjoy this fine trip report.
Kuna on tow
Aridup to Snug Harbour, December 3, 2012
Last posting about our time in Kuna Yala
We were hanging out in Aridup (a beautiful spot north of Playon Chico) and we were approached by a Kuna man (later introduced as Señor Delion) and his grandson. We bought some Kuna bread from him and then he asked where we were going next and when. He asked if we could take him to Snug Harbour with us as his home is nearby.
