3) DESTINATION
SAN BLAS ISLANDS 🇵🇦 PANAMA

San Blas is an archipelago on the northern side of Panama consisting of around 365 islands and cays, offering a paradise of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush green vegetation. The beauty of the islands is unparalleled. The area is a perfect setting for sailing, snorkeling, and beach exploration.

San Blas is relatively untouched by mass tourism, and the islands are inhabited by the Kuna / Guna Yala indigenous people who fiercely protect their traditional way of life and the environment. As a result, the area boasts abundant marine life, coral reefs, and diverse flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and ecotourism lovers.

Interacting with the Kuna people offers a unique cultural experience. The Kuna are known for their colorful traditional clothing, vibrant art, and rich customs. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about their way of life, including their fishing techniques, traditional arts, and autonomous governance.

San Blas benefits from consistent trade winds, particularly during the dry season, which creates favorable sailing conditions. The steady winds and predictable weather patterns make it a pleasure for sailors to navigate between the islands and explore the various anchorages.

The San Blas islands are sheltered by reefs, forming a large barrier that protects the area from the open sea. This results in calm and tranquil waters, which are ideal for sailing.

4) TABLET AND PAD NAVIGATION

TECHNICAL SUPPORT ABOUT THE FLEET TRACKING PROCESS >>

Group Fleet Tracking is designed to give an overview of

where Posse vessels are along the route.

For specific vessel details including their floatplan, latest updates, changes, real time positions and specific location related questions please contact each vessel directly and follow their vessel tracker. You may track vessels via their tracker or request AIS tracking from https://www.marinetraffic.com/. Please note: that this is also not exactly accurate either. There are many reasons why a vessel’s position is not updated. It is important NOT TO conclude that a vessel has an emergency or is in need of assistance because the vessel has not reported in lately. Sometimes they may just want to get away from it all and not tell you where they are. It is the responsibility of each vessel to file a float and check in plan and escalation procedures.

9) WHAT IS ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

For sailors, captains, skippers, seafarers, cruisers, and yacht enthusiasts, there are plenty of extraordinary bucket list items that push the boundaries and offer unique and memorable experiences of a lifetime

SOME BUCKET LIST ITEMS MAY BE:

Sail the world: Embark on a journey, experience different cultures, climates, and breathtaking coastal landscapes.

Visit remote islands: Explore remote and exotic islands that are only accessible by boat, such as the Revillagigero Islands, Cocos Island, Galapagos Islands, or Isla del Caño.

Sail across an ocean: Set sail across one of the world’s major oceans, such as the Atlantic, Pacific, or crossing the Caribbean Sea during the tradewinds.

Sail through famous waterways such as the Panama Canal: Experience the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal by sailing through its locks and traversing the waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Navigate without modern technology: Challenge yourself to navigate using traditional methods like celestial navigation or dead reckoning.

Live aboard a sailboat: Spend an extended period living aboard a sailboat embracing the freedom and simplicity of life at sea.

Posse members are living their best lives and

ticking off items on their Bucket List year after year ….

AND the list just keeps growing

SY COURAGE JOINS THE PANAMA POSSE

Kristine and John and their Tartan 4100 will be sailing out of San Francisco September 1 on a nine-month journey to Key West! Kristine and John are lifelong sailors on both coasts.

“Preparations are going well! (We are) moving out of the house tomorrow, spending August doing final prep on the boat in SF Bay. (We) cast-off Sept 1 and begin (our) southward journey. This will be our longest journey. We met at MIT, so we’re both geeks in grown-up cloths, who love science and sci-fi. Fun fact: we are both Burning Man Rangers; get to know us to hear fun stories and learn our playa names. We love to help others, whether as Doctor, Engineer, dive instructor, or faith leader. Looking forward to meeting all of you!”

SY COURAGE 🇺🇸 John & Kristine – Tartan 4100

11) LAND TRIPS:

BLUE RIVER RESORTS AND HOT SPRINGS 🇨🇷 COSTA RICA

Costa Rica: Traveling inland to where the pineapples grow.

Blue River Resort and Hot Springs is about a 2 hour drive from Marina Papagayo through rural northern Costa Rica. This property is like a mini Disneyland for those who love natural hot springs and nature. It consists of 4 separate, natural, mineral hot springs, 1 freshwater pool, a volcanic mud bath, a natural sauna, beautiful walking trails that lead you to a botanical garden, a butterfly garden, and areas where you can observe hummingbirds, koi, a variety of birds, horses and a sloth who lives onsite. There are 25 cabins that have air conditioning and are pet friendly for our furry crew mates! They have a bar and restaurant on site as well as yoga, a spa with dry sauna, and massage therapy.

Resort map

Pet friendly walking path for shaking out the ol’ sea legs

Because the property is quite large, you are likely to enjoy at least one of the natural hot springs all by yourself. Most of the time we felt like we had the place to ourselves which was great as some places can be overrun by tourists. Blue River Resort arranges a variety of excursions around the area and we enjoyed hiking to the Cathedral Waterfall which was absolutely incredible and about a 5 minute drive from the property itself. No 4×4 needed. A true gem in Costa Rica. “Wished we stayed 2 nights versus one to enjoy the vast amenities and adventures nearby.”

Adventures abound at the Blue River Resort and Hot Springs

Some pools are covered.

Some pools are open to the sky.

Land trips are a great way to see more than meets the eye from the coast. Thank you Nicole and Keenan for sharing your stories and your photos.

12) INTRODUCING
THE NEW COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM

CHAT.PANAMAPOSSE.COM

Communicating with fellow boats along the route is a BIG BENEFIT of the Panama Posse. However, last seasons communications platform got overloaded with over 275,000 words from hundreds of yachts. With so many knowledgeable and fact finding participants communicating daily via our LINE chat, the sheer amount and stream of questions, comments, insight, location pins, BOLO notices, et cetera pushed the seasonal knowledge transfer to the limit. Our quest is for a little bit more organized way to discuss and share information so we can get the most out of our communications. As a result, we are forging ahead with a new communications platform .

It is called ZULIP. We are in control of the server and the open source platform. It runs on mac, pc, ios, android, etc. Zulip is a chatroom on steroids, topics are more organized, and we think (and hope) it will be a huge improvement to our communications among the fleet.

FINALLY A WELL ORGANIZED CHAT !

ZULIP is a new fleet communication tool with 2 core concepts:

STREAMS and TOPICS

You subscribe to STREAMS (organized by region, i.e. Pacific Mexico or Jamaica )

Streams are knowledge and information streams you are interested in

and TOPICS are just that, topics within each STREAM

For example:

• Clearing in and out of each country is a TOPIC within a STREAM (organized by region).
• Service providers in each country, a TOPIC within a STREAM.

There are new customizable notifications – email summaries and other neat features. So, please take a moment to view it on a pc or mac and then, once you have used it, move to the mobile app.

In our chat, streams determine who gets a message. Each conversation within a stream is labeled with a topic, which keeps everything organized.

You can read Zulip, one conversation at a time, seeing each message in context, no matter how many other conversations are going on.

If anything is out of place, it’s easy to move messages, rename and split topics, or even move a topic to a different stream.

Imagine a well-organized chat that shows each message in context, it’s easier to stay informed and connected. Everyone can follow and contribute to discussions that matter to you, without wasting time reading every message, or stressing about missing something important.

To sign up in the initial test phase please email registration@panamaposse.com to get your invitation – GESTALT PROTOCOL APPLIES

15) 🇵🇦 COIBA NATIONAL PARK

The sea life under water in 🇵🇦 COIBA NATIONAL PARK is spectacular

Panama is below the hurricane line and many boats enjoy the off season exploring the many archipelagos on both the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts of Panama. Standing out among these Island groups is Isla Coiba. Isla Coiba is the largest island in Central America (500+ km2 / 190+ sq mi), off the Pacific coast of the Panamanian Isthmus in the Gulf of Chiriquí west of Panama Bay. Coiba National Park is a marine reserve comprised of a group of 38 islands including at its core, Isla Coiba.

Due to the Gulf of Chiriquí’s capacity to buffer against the effects of El Niño temperature swings, the marine ecosystems within Coiba National Park harbors a high degree of biodiversity rivaling those of the Galapagos Islands. It’s a massive marine habitat providing protection for coral reefs, humpback whales, pilot whales, killer whales, dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, marlins for a total of 760 species of marine fishes, 33 species of sharks and 20 species of cetaceans other marine creatures. In July 2005, Unesco declared it a World Heritage Site.

Colorful Macaws are among over 100 different bird species that inhabit the islands

The history of the area is rich and varied: Around 17,000 years ago when sea levels rose after the last Ice Age, plants and animals on the new island became isolated from mainland populations and over the millennia most animals have diverged in appearance and behavior from their mainland counterparts. The area is so isolated that in the early 1900’s a penal colony was set on Isla Coiba. This development remained for nearly 100 years before the penal colony was closed in 2005 and the island was given back to nature entirely.

There are species here that will send you up for air wondering, ‘What is that?’.

I want to thank Dietmar and all the Panama Posse. They helped me out immensely on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing from New Bern, North Carolina to Chiapas, Mexico, visiting 9 countries (in the height of Covid), over a 7 month period during the 21-22 Panama Posse Season. I have since sailed Orion up the West Coast of Mexico, in and around the Sea of Cortez and on up the West Coast of Baja (known as the Baja Bash), and ultimately Ventura Harbor, in Southern California.
