Internet will be rare.

Moving the boat in the morning out to a nearby anchorage.  Will miss the 'internet' wifi connection we have enjoyed, but it's time to fuel up and move on.  A day or so in the anchorage and we will start meandering around the cruising grounds of Bocas del Toro to check out a few places, specifically Dolphin Bay to the S.E., then move east towards the San Blas Islands.

Will take an inside track to Zapatillos for a day, then a short run to Escudo.  Heard there's good snorkling at both.  Then we will have to make an overnight passage to the Chagres River so we arrive there in good light. The inlet is not marked and reefs on both sides, so I will need good light for 'eye ball' navigation into the river.  This is a river that was dammed up during the building of the Panama Canal..  We heard it's still primal rain forest with Howler monkeys and plenty of birds etc.....a true jungle.  If the weather permits, we will stay there for a couple of days soaking up the sounds and sights of the jungle from the cockpit.

Will answer emails whenever we get near civilization again.  Might be a week, might be a month. Adios!
