Solar arch is almost finished! We’re finally doing it right this time and they do great metalwork here at Shelter Bay Marina.

More panels are also on the way, so we’ll get another jump in power to soak in even more sun ☀️

#solar #alum

Greek chicken gyros tonight to go with some flatbreads we scored - easy & lots of flavor in the chicken marinade.🤤

Back on Reach after lots of summer and fall travel ⛵️✈️

She'll be getting a new solar arch and a good scrubbing before heading back out to the islands 🏝️

Came across the howler monkeys having breakfast this morning 🌿

Fun times ⚡️ Dare I say that it hasn't been too bad during rainy season so far... but we are in Panama after all. 💦

Country living in Darién province. Typical scenes watching kids play with their parakeet or looking for shrimp in the river... morning mist in the wetlands and sunset over the rice fields.

Making the most of birding time while Reach is at Shelter Bay Marina surrounded by jungle. 🐦

Rainy season will be over shortly and we’ll be ready to set sail soon... after one more project gets checked off the list! 😜

It’s good to be home ⛵️

Reach is in great shape and managed to avoid all of the lightning (so far) in recent storms ⚡️ Let’s keep it that way!

We’re winding down our time visiting family in Maryland.

This park is a great birding hotspot and I’m hoping to get lucky during bird migration before we leave... Then I can fly back down to Panama to meet them there. 🐦

From the Andes to the Rockies 🗻⛰

We have recently been drawn to the mountains as a complement to life on the sea. ⛵️😎

It’s a good thing we hiked lots of miles each day to work off all of this Colombian food!

We had to try the traditional dishes like the gut-busting bandeja paisa... this was a HALF order!!

Typical breakfasts came with eggs, cheese, arepas an

Welcome to Bogota 🇨🇴

A city of 8 million people (!!) 7,999,999 of whom are serious cyclers or biking commuters! 🚴🏽

We're making the most out of summer off-season in the Caribbean for some travel, with Reach safely out of the hurricane zone.

Next stop coming shortly... you can correctly assume that it might involve birds 🐦😆

The geography of Panama makes it simple for us to hop over to the City to run errands.

Pretty unique to be able to access the Atlantic to Pacific oceans across the country in just over an hour. 🌎🇵🇦

Our trip to western Panama took us to a variety of natural settings from the cloud forest to the rich volcanic valley.

We connected with three bird guides on different days throughout the week. This a great way to soak in local knowledge from their
