San Blas Islands


The Caribbean and San Blas islands are wonderful and things on the cat are mostly good.  However, it turns out of Captain has a reputation for overbooking his boat and I don't exactly have a bed on board.  No worries.... I sleep in on the trampolines in the front, but think ahead to the open ocean with a little anticipation.




I'm not about long before we have some indigenous people "Kuna's", coming along side selling some hand crafts with their children aboard.


Paz from Israel & Zoe from Australia.
Our lovely Aussie Couple Zoe & Nick.  At first they didn't really want to get into the water and swim, but when they finally realized it was quite safe, we coxed them in.


A popular activity while the cat is motoring or at sail.
Chris, Dom, Nick, & Johnas.
A Kuna fisherman comes up trying to sell his catch, but some of his lobster are too small and we send him away.




We see a few dolphins off the bow, but only for a short while.
It turns out Fritz isn't the only one that play the trumpet and Connor entertains us for a bit.
Nick chillin on the foredeck.
Eva & Steph having a chat.
The English boys reviewing their recent shots.
The rods been set for awhile and there is finally something on the line.
Its turns out to be a medium sized grey shark.
I would of preferred it was turned lose, but honestly, I'm not sure that was possible.
1st Mate Jose looking happy in the kitchen.  A friendly guy and hard worker.
I'm looking quite happy in this shot.
Martin rightfully looking quite please with himself.

The sun goes down on another beautiful day.  After 5 days on the cat we finally reach Cartagena, but it turns out I can't get the bike off the boat until the next day.  Fritz is full of surprises, but for some reason I still trust him with the bike.

  1. Wow Bro, looking awesome. I love those cat cruises, and this one looks like a lot of fun. Glad things are going smooth overall, and that faith is getting you through some of the less ideal moments. This little cruise was prolly a good opportunity to let the bike body rest, and now off for another ride. Enjoy the next leg and play safe:) Darah says Hi as well (she bought a 2003 SV650S). Already has over 1000k of seat time since 2 weeks ago! Anywho, looking forward to more posts and chat soon Bro.
