FLEET UPDATE 

1) TURKS AND CAICOS 🇹🇨

 As a tropical Atlantic archipelago, the Turks and Caicos has historically had a past with pirates and privateers.

One
of the greatest remnants of piracy in the Turks and Caicos is in fact
it's country name, which  translates to Pirate Islands, as it’s
derived from the term Turks, which was a synonym for pirates in previous centuries, and cayo hico, a version of the indigenous Taino people’s name for an archipelago or island chain.

During much of the ‘golden age of piracy’, from about the mid-1600s to mid-1700s, pirates  operated and had bases in the Turks and Caicos.

It’s very likely that they operate out of Parrot Cay, Pine Cay, Dellis Cay and Fort George Cay due to the sources of fresh water than can be found in small ponds. A common trait throughout human history is that a

6 ) LANDSAT 9 has launched 

September 27, 2021 
Landsat
9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from
Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401
launch vehicle.  NASA is in charge of building, launching, and
testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS)
operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive.
It will be the ninth satellite in the Landsat program.

 The
first image collected by Landsat 9, on Oct. 31, 2021, shows remote
coastal islands and inlets of the Kimberly region of Western Australia.
In the top middle section of the image, the Mitchell River carves
through sandstone, while to the left Bigge Island and the Coronation
Islands stand out in the Indian Ocean. 

"The
data and images from Landsat 9 are expanding our capability to see how
Earth has changed over decades," Karen St. Germain, director of NASA's
Earth Science Division, said in the same statement. "In a changing
climate, continuous and free access to Landsat data, and the other data
in NASA's Earth observing fleet, helps data users, including city
planners, farmers and scientists, plan for the future." 

In the case of the Panama Posse helps us navigate saver ! 

Landsat
9 carries two main instruments: the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2),
which detects visible, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared light in
nine wavelengths, and the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2), which
detects thermal radiation in two wavelengths used to measure Earth’s
surface temperatures. Together the instruments can provide users with
essential information about crop health, irrigation use, water quality,
wildfire severity, deforestation, glacial retreat, and urban expansion,
especially when put in the context of the long Landsat data record.

The
Panama Posse has over 150 gigs of Satellite Images for navigation
available for download - many have been sourced thanks to Landsat and
months of work by Panama Posse participants such as Rob on Avant.

ADVENTURE SCIENTISTS AND UNIVERSITY OF GUADALAJARA TO CONDUCT MEXICAN CORAL REEF STUDIES WITH PANAMA POSSE VOLUNTEERS

Adventure
Scientists is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports
scientists through the planning and execution of large-scale data
collection projects for scientific partners around the world. They
mobilize skilled adventure volunteers—hikers, sailors, skiers, divers,
and more—who operate on any scale from almost anywhere on Earth to
collect high-quality scientific data. This empowers scientists to think
bigger and access the data, public support, and funding they need to
achieve impact. Adventure Scientists’ goal is to accelerate
environmental and human health solutions. 

Mexican Coral Reefs Project Information

Why:
Mexico’s Pacific Coast is harbor to some of the world’s most biodiverse
coral reefs. They support fishes, sharks, turtles, and other marine
life. They also buffer the coastline from intense storms and provide
livelihoods from fishing and tourism. Yet these reefs are imperiled by
ocean acidification, more frequent and powerful storms due to climate
change, and damage from tourism.

Impact:
Adventure Scientists is recruiting experienced diver volunteers to
provide Universidad de Guadalajara's Dr. Paola Rodríguez-Troncoso and
Dr. Amílcar Cupul Magaña with critical data to understand how climate
change and human pressure are impacting coral communities. The project
will provide hard data to government partners to support policy
recommendations that can protect these unique reefs into the future.

Who:
Eligible volunteers are experienced, conservation-minded divers with
access to boats who can commit to at least three dives within a year
along the Mexican Pacific coast in the Puerto Vallarta region.
Volunteers must provide their own dive equipment and have a minimum of
25 logged dives if a PADI certified open water diver, 15 if PADI
advanced open water diver, and 10 dives if they are a NAUI certified
advanced open water diver.

What:
At each field site, dive teams will swim five different 25-meter-long
belt transects parallel to the coast. Teams will swim each of the five
transects three times to: 

Identify fish species, size, and ratio of adults to juveniles

Count abundance of sea urchin, sea stars, sea cucumbers, etc.

Categorize different coral types

Measure contour of seafloor

Where:
Field sites are predetermined (GPS coordinates provided) and no deeper
than ~12 meters. See the map on the project page for dive locations.

18) PANAMA POSSE CONVOYS

These
violent incidents appear to be executed by “part-time pirates”,
fisherman who organize on an ad hoc basis and seize targets of
opportunity in the absence of effective law enforcement.  They do
not target larger commercial vessels at this time.

Geographically,
the Honduran and Nicaraguan east coasts do not provide harbor for
larger vessels and the national navies are small and poorly equipped to
deal with the issue, as they are small forces primarily designed for
dealing with coastal and riverine security.  The naval forces are
under-resourced.

As
the incidents normally occur well offshore, often between 75 and 125
miles from land, they are beyond VHF radio range from shore bases, and
in any case it is believed the relevant navies do not effectively
maintain a 24/7 radio watch. It is uncertain what other illegal
activities these part time pirates may engage in.

While
these areas are variously within the territorial waters or exclusive
economic zones of Colombia, Guatemala, or Honduras, they are not
effectively patrolled or policed by any of these states.  Adding
complication to the situation, some areas including the Serranilla Bank
are disputed territories.

Security and Safety Risks Associated with the Entire Coast of Venezuela

For
westbound vessels, a transit of the Venezuelan coast from Trinidad to
the ABCs and Columbia is often undertaken.  For vessels leaving
Colombia to points north, a close approach to the easternmost stretch of
the Venezuelan coast is also unavoidable.  There has also been an
increase in piracy activities in the coastal waters near Trinidad,
believed to be the actions of Venezuelan smugglers.

THE PANAMA POSSE PEPPER SCALE

Ancient indigenous people of central Mexico, discovered that peppers could be preserved with the aid of smoke. 

Below are the most common 12 peppers found in markets in central America in order of heat using the *Scoville heat index.

NAME

HEAT*

DESCRIPTION

Anaheim Pepper
Anaheim Peppers


500 – 2,500

With the lowest heat on the list, Anaheim peppers are about as family friendly as a hot pepper gets and very versatile. With a slightly sweet flavor, they are delicious chopped fresh in salsas and their thick walls and large cavity make Anaheim peppers perfect for stuffed pepper recipes. They make an excellent bell pepper substitute for when you want just a little bit more.

Poblano Pepper
Poblano Pepper

 


1,000 – 1,500

Speaking of alternatives to the bell, the poblano is probably the most popular of them all. It’s mild (with a lower ceiling than even the Anaheim) with an earthy flavor, and its thick walls provide a meatiness that you don’t often get with chilies.

Ancho PEPPER
Ancho Chiles Peppers

 


1,000 – 2.000

When dried the poblano is known as ancho, and in this form its arguably more of a Mexican cuisine staple. The earthiness takes a smoky turn, perfect for mole sauces and BBQ. The most widely available dried chiles. Different peppers from the same plant have been reported to vary substantially in heat intensity.

Cascabel Pepper
Cascabel Pepper

 


1,000 – 3,000

Cascabels
are typically ground into a powder or flakes for culinary use. They have a delicious earthy nuttiness to them that make them a favorite for sauces and marinades. But the flavor is only half the story. These chilies are a very popular ornamental pepper with their apple-like shape, long stem, and rattle. Yes, rattle. Cascabels keep their rounded shape when dried (unusual for chilies) and the seeds become loose in the cavity, creating a rattle like experience.

PASILLA Pepper
Pasilla Pepper


250 – 4,000

Pasilla
or “little raisin” refers to the dried chilaca pepper. Sometimes miss labeled as Ancho chiles. The Pasilla chile is normally 8 -10 inches long and much narrower than the Ancho.
Pasillas have a smoky, fruity, earthy flavor that is often compared to berries and dried fruits (like raisins).
Pasilla peppers are similar in flavor to ancho chiles but are less sweet.

Great with fruits, duck, seafood, lamb, mushrooms, garlic, fennel, honey or oregano.

Guajillo Pepper
Guajillo Pepper


2,500 – 5,000
 

If you like your chilies on the slightly sweeter side, then the guajillo pepper (the dried form of the mirasol chili) is one that should make your shortlist. With hints of tangy cranberry and the crispness of tea, its flavors make the guajillo one of the most popular dried chilies in Mexico, second only to the famous ancho pepper.And like the ancho, the guajillo is one of the holy trinity of chilies that are commonly used in authentic Mexican mole sauces. Its unique sweetness, too, makes it a fun chili to experiment with around the kitchen. It has a surprising range and a heat most everyone can enjoy.

A popular chili for mole sauces, guajillo peppers have a sweet fruitiness to them There’s a little cranberry here and a tea-like undertone. As a dried chili, it’s typically used crushed into flakes or powders, but it can also be rehydrated for use in stews and soups. It takes a close second to the ancho in terms of popularity in Mexican cuisine, though outside of Mexico they can be a little harder to source.

Jalapeño Pepper
JALAPENO Pepper Jalapeño


2,500 – 8,000

Jalapeños
really have a space all their own among chilies. It’s the most popular chili, not only in Mexico but also around the world. There’s a bright bite, perfect for fresh salsas and just spicy enough. The chili has thick walls and enough cavity space to be perfect for stuffing. The jalapeño when dried and smoked becomes the delicious chipotle pepper. Chipotles are known for their deep smokiness, making them delicious in BBQ rubs and marinades.

Chipotle
(MORITA)
Pepper
Chipotle Morita Pepper


2,500 – 8,000

Morita
is a smoke-dried jalapeno, commonly referred to as a chipolte.
Rich slightly fruity flavor.In Chihuahua, the region of Mexico where most chipotle peppers come from, it is the morita jalapeño, an eggplant-colored pepper, that abounds. Chipotle can also be made from mature red jalapeños. The smoking process takes a few days. Jalapeño peppers are placed on metal grills in smoking chambers or gas dryers, where they are shuffled around every couple of hours to ensure even smoking. Once this process is done, finished chipotle peppers will be shriveled and darkened, and possess the rich flavors of smoke and spice, with a hint of fruitiness.Chipotle is a key ingredient in many traditional Mexican recipes, and is perhaps most famously used in a meat marinade called adobo.

PUYA CHILE PEPPER
Puya peppers

 


5,000 – 8,000

PUYA CHILE
is very similar to the Guajillo, but smaller and hotter.  It may be soaked in water to pull out the flavor. It is often used more for its fruity flavor, rather than its flesh.
Good pureed, mashed or diced, and then made into a sauce. It can be soaked in water to pull out the flavor, and then the water can be used in your dish.The Puya may be used as a pizza topping, or with meat dishes, such as pork, veal, fish and chicken.

Serrano Pepper
Serano Pepper


10,000 – 23,000
Similar bright grassy flavor to Jalapeños , but serrano chilies take the heat factor up to another level. The can double in  heat (and even more), so if you’re ready for a next step pepper, the serrano is an excellent culinary choice. They work very well in salsas. And while serranos are thinner than jalapeños, they still work well for popper recipes.They are meaty peppers and are not the best choice for drying. Serrano peppers originated in the mountainous regions.  Puebla and Hidalgo. The name of the pepper, serrano, actually is a reference to the mountains (sierras) of those areas.

They are commonly red, brown, orange, or yellow, though you are likely to find them in their more common green color.

Serrano peppers are perfect for salsas, sauces, relishes, garnishes, making hot sauce  and more. They are usually best when roasted.

Chile de Àrbol
Chile de Àrbol


15,000 – 30,000

Chile de àrbol
are popular for both culinary uses and as ornamental chilies. Like other dried Mexican peppers, they are typically used for cooking in flake and powder form. They have an earthy flavor, slightly smoky, and they pack a surprising punch. The can reach up to a cayenne pepper level of spiciness. The chilies long and thin shape (and the fact that it keeps its beautiful red color when dried). Not only is this pepper terrific as chili powder or in hot sauces, but it’s also skinny and tiny enough to flavor foods, olive oil, and beverages as a whole dried pod.  The Chile de àrbol adds some serious wow factor in a bottle or as a garnish to a meal or spicy cocktail.

Habanero Peppers
Habanero Pepper


100,000 - 350,000
 

One of the world’s hottest chili pepper, but don’t let the fact that certain chilies have passed it by fool you into underestimating it. The habanero is a seriously hot pepper. And unlike many of the hotter chilies, there’s quite a bit of flavor to go along with the extra-hot kick. it has a unique, citrus-like taste with a subtle hint of smoke that makes it very popular in hot sauces, powders, and rubs. If you can handle the heat, this is a fun culinary chili to play with in the kitchen. Unripe habaneros are green, and they color as they mature. The most common color variants are orange and red, but the fruit may also be white, brown, yellow, green, or purple. Typically habaneros are 1-2 inches /  2–6 centimetres long.-
