prevention notice

Due to displacement of Tropical Wave #1 over our region

The
National System for National Protection (SINAPROC) informs the public
that it maintains a Prevention and Monitoring Notice due to the
displacement and evolution of Tropical Wave #1 in the coming days over
the region.

The
areas under notice until May 19, 2022 are: Bocas del Toro, Ngábe Buglé
Comarca, Chiriquí, Veraguas, Los Santos, Herrera, Coclé, West Panama,
Panama, Darién, Emberá Wounaan Comarca, Colón, Guna Yala Comarca,
sectors mountainous and maritime areas of the Panamanian Caribbean and
Pacific.

Currently,
tropical wave #1 is located over Venezuela, moving at a speed of 28
KM/H immersed in a favorable environment for the development of clouds
and storms towards Colombia and Panama. During the week, these
conditions will increase the rains over the national territory,
according to the Hydrometeorology Directorate of the Electricity
Transmission Company, S.A, (ETESA). ETESA forecasts accumulated rainfall
per day that could reach between 40 mm to 90 mm or liters of water per
square meter.

SINAPROC warns to be careful in the event of sudden flooding of rivers and streams.

PREVENTION
MEASURES Try to be aware of the updates of the prevention notices. Do
not risk your life trying to cross streams. If it is raining, avoid
driving at high speeds.

ANGELFISH 

The
body of marine angelfish provides camouflage in the coral reefs and
plays important role in communication. Both freshwater and marine
angelfish have thin, laterally-compressed body, small mouth and long
dorsal and anal fins. 
Angelfish are active during the day

PARROTFISH
have
the capability of feeding and changing the structure of coral reefs by
providing the removal of algal turfs and coral tissue. 
The grazing of algae activity mainly focuses on the reef crust

Nurse Shark 
and Remora underneath  which attaches itself to large fish by means of a sucker on top of the head.  It generally feeds on the host's external parasites.

EAGLE RAY
Spotted eagle rays are active swimmers and do not lie motionless on the
seafloor. They are foraging predators and are known to eat a variety of
invertebrate and fish prey.

craters, with the innermost containing a small crater lake. 

 San
Antonio Masahuat only 1 hour from the Marina Bahia del Sol ! You can

There are three alleys from where to admire the natural environment surrounding the river;

 the caves that are home to parakeets, and the magnificent shapes of the natural pathways.

At the end of the walk you can admire La Piedra Trabada (the stuck rock).
 It is covered with green moss due to the humidity of the place.

SY  MOTHERSHIP 🇬🇧 Amel 53'

The Backstory:

“We
didn’t want to ‘settle down’ into family life  - we wanted to fill
it with travel and adventure, so in 2017 quit our jobs, took the kids
out of school and set sail around the world!” 

the beginning

Embarking
on this  journey - leaving behind friends, family, school, jobs
and our home - has to be the most difficult decision we have ever
made. 

We’d worked in the marine industry for many years, set up RYA training centers,
skippered for sailing companies, crewed on ocean passages and worked
with UK rescue services (RNLI), but becoming traveling liveaboards while
home schooling kids has tested our parenting and sailing skills to the
max and challenged every fiber of our being.  

This
is the story of our journey – the highs and lows, why we continue to do
it and how we see the future. It’s also the opening chapters of our
kids’ lives, and we want those chapters to lay the foundation of an epic
story of high adventure and world travel, of self-sufficiency and
resourcefulness, of stoicism and self worth .. and hopefully a bit of
fun! 

We
began blogging the day we started looking for a sailboat, and our
Sailing YouTube Channel documents our journey from the very beginning -
from choosing a sailboat and leaving home to adapting to life afloat,
from home schooling and boat maintenance to traveling with kids and
making money while we travel. In short, it’s dedicated to families that
are considering an adventure of their own – to lay down a template and
in the words of Yewan, our youngest - “If you want to do it - DO IT!”

 

 

 

21) DIVING THE  🇻🇬 BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS 

 

Greetings from Jerry and Deb on Reefdancer. As this season winds down we are preparing to head back to California and shipping Reefdancer home on a transport

Hello !

We
intended to leave San Andres this last Tuesday for Grand Cayman, but
have been delayed. I have attached a picture of our agent Julian with
Ken and I.

We
are thinking of trying to leave this Monday to make the run to the
Cayman's. Ken estimates it will take us about 4 days. We are looking at
Windy and Predict Wind...what are your thoughts on the weather brewing
up there this upcoming Thursday  through 

 It has been a fabulous time the past three years and we have made many new
friends through our association with the Panama Posse.  

We have enjoyed scuba diving in all the stops along the way from
California to the British Virgin Islands. We have spent the past 7
months here in the BVI diving nearly everyday. I thought I would share a
few shots of what we have been seeing!
