A brief, busy stay for On Delay in Portobelo Bay
August 11 to 13, 2013, Portobelo, Panama

They were certainly anchored close together. We anchored in a tight spot, close to town. Tony and I went ashore to determine a good location for Gayle M and Miriam to await their taxi pickup. On a wet Sunday morning, town looked even more depressing than the bay itself.
Typical waterfront properties: Note the bars and lack of paint and rooves.

July 29 to August 6, 2013, Kuna Yala, Panama
Cameron and his son Ruaridh had a fantastic week with the On Delay gang sailing up the east coast San Blas Islands, otherwise know as Kuna Yala.
