“We’re humbled by the power of nature. The Posse gave us the confidence to embark on journeys we never thought possible. We started with a three-day passage and now, after an eight-day journey, we feel ready for more. We couldn’t have done it without the support and wisdom of the community.”

“Our journey from the Pacific Northwest, through the Panama Canal, and down to Florida was filled with incredible moments, but the highlight was definitely going through the Panama Canal with the boat’s previous owners. The connection and camaraderie we felt with other Panama Posse members along the way made the adventure even more special.”

“Spending time in Banderas Bay reminded us of the wonderful Christmas and New Year we celebrated there with the Posse community. Meeting friends who have now made beautiful homes in the area was a highlight of our journey. We are now planning to bring our boat back to Hawaii, but the memories of this adventure will stay with us forever.”

Tayana 48′We are now in Costa Rica – we arrived yesterday – with a welcoming of a squall during our anchoring. We love the independence of sailing alone, but knowing that with just a few words, we can get all the assistance and knowledge we need from the Posse is incredibly reassuring. It’s the perfect balance of freedom and support. Of course we enlisted  again for the next year – the money you pay you get back with the discounts – but I don’t care about that – it’s just a great idea and a great assembly – I love it !

I was class A plus O.C.D on the money wrapped tight SOB… as soon as I came across the border and saw the dolphins in front of the boat – clears his throat – a huge transformation – a lot came of my shoulder and I finally learned how to enjoy life like the dolphins – just have fun – occasional go over and have something to eat but then have some fun again. The posse is like I said before – the monetary is nothing – that was returned to me first time I bought something or the boat let alone all the other stuff and the discounts in marinas – the value is the people – it’s the camaraderie – every time you pull into a port you see that little burgee – hey I know you – and generally you do – it’s like you have family everywhere you go – and it’s just been awesome. The value is the people !

DeFever 52′What you said way back in the beginning is true:so may things to see, and we go right by them. These amazing countries and places and cities and people usually have to get there. so our philosophy is we want to see as much as we can. We have no timeline so we have the luxury of doing this without a schedule. We had a great time with the rendezvous in Barra & we did some really nice l add on tours from Huatulco and Chiapas. We have been some really great amazing and beautiful places. Not to be obsequious, but I got to say this Posse organization has been so great. As an example – we cruising down the coast – and we get to marina Papagayo in Costa Rica – we have never been there and all the sudden we have 8 posse buddy boats that is 1000’s of miles away from where we started. It’s all thanks to the Ocean Posse – we really appreciate it – just loving it met so many great people and made so many good friends !
