THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY

“The Panama Canal Zone was the only Latin American territory not acquired as
a result of the war with Spain; however it was governed as if it had
been. As president, Theodore Roosevelt understood the importance of a
canal connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It would allow the
United States to move its fleet from one coast to the other in a
relatively short time, which had been a major problem during the war
with Spain. To facilitate this he received authorization from Congress
to purchase the assets of the failed French attempt to build a
canal. 

The primary obstacle was in acquiring the necessary land to build a canal
across the Isthmus of the Americas, which prior to 1903 was part of
Colombia. When the United States showed an interest in building the
canal, the Colombian government immediately demanded a larger percentage
of the tolls than had been previously agreed upon with the
French. 

Negotiations dragged on through 1902 and into 1903. Early in 1903, the United States signed a treaty with the Colombian government, giving the United States
a strip of land 6 miles wide, from the Caribbean to the Pacific Ocean.
On August 12, 1903, the irate Colombian Senate unanimously voted down
the agreement and refused to give the United States the land. Panamanian
insurgents with the backing of the United States perpetrated a revolt
against the Colombian government, causing Colombia to lose the coveted
parcel of land north of its present border. The fledgling nation of
Panama was protected from Colombia by a dense jungle and the might of
the United States.

On November 3, 1903, after 57 years of policing Bogotá's interests, the
United States, looking out for its own best interests, sided with Panama
against Colombia. A treaty was quickly drafted between the two new
allies, giving Panama $10,000,000 of investment money, plus $250,000 per
year in perpetuity. It also allowed the United States to purchase the
remaining French assets that had been left behind. On November 18th,
with the signing of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, the Panama Canal Zone was formed.”

― Captain Hank Bracker

President
Teddy Roosevelt famously visited the U.S.-led project in 1904. Years
earlier, France had abandoned the dream after a decade of frustration.
The new effort eventually succeeded, but not before malaria had killed
thousands of workers.

UPDATE:
RCC Alameda has advised the report as of 4/22 is "UNREPORTED". SV
Tlacuilo is US flagged with a hailing port of Wilmington Delaware with
Luis Ernesto García de Alba Ponce on a 2014 Hunter 33. He was sailing
from Golfito, Costa Rica, heading to Panamá Canal. Family members have
not been able to track him via satellite communication for two days via
Garmin.

Hello Posse.  After a wonderful few months in Sea of Cortez and Western
Mexico we are making plans to return Ventana (our 2019 Beneteau Oceanis
46.1) to California in May and want to know if anyone is interested in
buddy boating from Cabo to San Diego. Ventana will be arriving in Cabo
area May 18 or so and we plan to re-provision, wait for a weather window
and head around Cabo north around May 23 or earlier, weather
permitting.  Please message me privately if you are interested in
discussing further.  Thanks!

 6) GULF OF CHIRIQUÍ 
WESTERN PACIFIC 🇵🇦 PANAMA 

Lightning,
thunder and squalls every day and/or night for the last say 10 days. Or
maybe more. Between Boca Chica and Isla Gobernadora, Panama, where we
are now anchored in another squall. At least there is a free boat
wash! 

MY Red Rover in Western Panama 

Hola Posse! We just spent 5 nights at Coiba and another lovely night at
Bahia Honda. Back in cell service and wanted to share the Coiba fee
experience. We are 58 feet long and when we checked in with the ranger I
said that we were. Mistake. Fees for boats 50 to 100 feet are $160 per
night. After he told us our total for 4 nights would be $740 we said ah
no, we thought it was $60/night. And then he provided us with the fee
schedule. So we said we couldn't do that, and he asked how much money we
had. We were able to settle at $400 total with a fishing license for
the park waters (usually $50) included. I should have gone much lower.
We passed the lesson onto a sailboat that is over 50 feet and they were
able to say they were 48.5 feet and negotiate below the $60/night rate.
We were approached by a different ranger and his crew with machine guns
in their panga twice while anchored. We gave them cokes, told them we
paid and everything was fine. We were given a fishing license but
nothing to note that we had paid. The money was put in a drawer and
there were no records other than the fishing license. No boat or
personal documents needed. It was absolutely beautiful at Coiba. Loved
it. Just a funny start.

7) RETURN OF THE SQUALLS 

Squalls and Thunderstorms on display 

PREDICT WIND CAPE

CAPE
stands for Convective Available Potential Energy and is the amount of
fuel available to a developing thunderstorm. More specifically, it
describes the instability of the atmosphere and provides an
approximation of updraft strength within a thunderstorm. So CAPE is used
by weather officials to understand what the potential might be for
thunderstorms and how powerful those storms might become if they do
materialize.

The standard measurement of energy is represented as Joules Per Kilogram. A
high CAPE value might also be expressed by weather experts by using the
term “high instability”. When we talk about a highly unstable
atmosphere, CAPE values are usually in excess of 2500 J/kg’s which would
supply ample energy for strong updrafts and violent thunderstorms,
should they develop.

 

How to Interpret CAPE values using a table and relative text forecast terms.

 

Severe thunderstorms require high CAPE values and the higher the CAPE value,
the more energy available to promote thunderstorm growth. However, the
CAPE variable is not a “magic number” that will predict the certainty of
a thunderstorm. But if a thunderstorm does develop, and the CAPE value
is high, then there is a good chance for an “explosive storm”. Below is a
typical CAPE Map in the Caribbean. The Yellow/Orange areas show high
CAPE values.

Example Scrolling over the colors: Yellow 
Cape Index 1,793  Moderate Risk of Lightning

8) NEW PANAMA POSSE ANCHORAGE 

Isla Taborcillo / John Wayne Island anchorage close to Punta Chame / Panama

Isla Taborcillo is a great, calm anchorage with some island exploration to
be done. There is an abandoned hotel & Western town theme park on
the island which is worth a visit. 

Also very good kitesurfing and wingsurfing with flat water, especially at
(spring) low tides south-easterly of the island when the sandbars come
out. 

Approach from the south is safe at high tide, navionics charts are quite accurate. 

Approach from north was also easy with coming tide. 

Here is a track i saved coming and going from Punta Chame. 

Supplies available in Punta Chame village, also some restaurants,
recommendations are: a new cafe "Happy Corner" right on the beach by
some German expats and the Beachclub SOLE at Panama Kite Center with
great food and vibes. Happy Corner also organizes tours and hikes, for
example to Cerro Chame, a 580 m high "mountain" with stunning views over
the pacific coast. 

You may also learn to kitesurf with Panama Kite Center or Panama Kitehouse.

WEEKLY WEATHER UPDATE

Week  4-11 to 4-16, 2022 
Bahia del Sol Bar Report   forecast compiled by La Palma Moorings

Contact Bill and Jean  
+503 7487 4969 
lapalmamoorings@aol.com

Forecast:

We are coming off a neap tide cycle and entering spring tides April 13.
Entry is possible April 10 through April 12 and it will most
likely be exciting.  On April 13 a large swell generated by the
Papagayo winds will close the bar April 13 and 14.  On April 15 the
bar will be open.

Tides beginning April 13 are afternoon tides.

For the forecast period the average primary swell is 4.0 feet and the
significant swell is 5.2 feet. April 13 the significant swell is 6.2
feet followed by 5.6 fee. Passage over the bar will not be possible.

As always, please contact Bill and Jean before arrival/departure.

Notes:

 Entry is only permitted at high tide during daylight hours.
Daylight hours include civil twilight (about 40 minutes before
sunrise or 40 minutes after sunset). Morning tides are always better due
to the absence of wind waves.

 11) THE ROAD TO SAN CRISTOBAL

We’re in San Cristobal right now and planning on driving directly to Palenque
tomorrow. We rented a car and have been asking locals, taxi drivers and
tour agencies about the road. Everyone says we must drive only during
the daytime. We are going to stop and stay in Agua Azul to enjoy and
break up the drive.  

We did it! Palenque! One road block from San Cristobal and lots of construction but absolutely worth every minute!

PANAMA POSSE 
FLEET UPDATE 

 

Overfishing
it’s not just that we’re taking too many out, it’s how we’re
doing it. We are wiping out their nurseries, … [because some huge boats]
… bottom trawl … [with] nets that 50 years ago you’d have to lift when
you came to coral reefs or rocks or nooks and crannies. Now they’re so
sophisticated and so heavy, the equipment, and the boat’s so powerful
they can just drag right over the coral reefs and the rocks and the
nooks and crannies, and turn them into a gravel pit. … The trouble is
those are the nurseries. That’s where the little fish hide and get
bigger and get big enough for us to eat.

U.S. Port Restrictions on Mexican Fishing Vessels

NOAA
Fisheries is announcing port restrictions on all Mexican fishing
vessels that fish in the Gulf of Mexico. Effective February 7, 2022,
these vessels are prohibited from entering U.S. ports, and will be
denied port access and services. 

Mexican-flagged
vessels participating in Gulf of Mexico fisheries will be denied entry
into the navigable waters of the United States, which includes any port,
and if such entry occurs will be subject to denial of port
privileges. 

An estimated four out of 10 fish species in Mexico are over exploited, including the red snapper, according to Oceana’s fishery audit in Mexico. 

PEW: Transshipment, pictured above, is a critical link in the seafood supply chain and continues to elude enforcement.

QUICK FACT: 40% of the personnel responsible for maritime safety in Costa Rica are women 

Important Note

As
of April 1, 2022, it will not be required to complete the Health Pass,
buy insurance or policy or present a vaccination card to enter Costa
Rica.

The following link on page 21 indicates the revocation of temporary measures in a State of Emergency due to COVID-19.
http://www.imprentanacional.go.cr/pub/2022/03/25/ALCA62_25_03_2022.pdf

no more health-pass filing https://salud.go.cr/

Operating
limits for commercial establishments also returned to their usual
hours; and for residents and nationals, the health pass for those
entering the country was eliminated. In addition, foreigners no longer
had to undergo rigorous checks.

Similarly,
as of today, all activities and events can operate at full capacity
without requiring the use of QR Code or proof of vaccination. This
includes businesses, restaurants, gyms, churches and houses of worship,
university classrooms, event halls and any place where services are
provided to the public.

Also,
the health pass to enter the country for non-nationals is abolished. As
mentioned before, the requisite was not mandatory for nationals and
residents since the begging of March.

Unvaccinated
foreigners, or those who were inoculated with a vaccine that is not
recognized in the country, will no longer be required to pay insurance
in order to enter and remain in Costa Rica.

To be confirmed is the forced need for maritime agents to clearing into Costa Rica. Expect clarity on Wednesday April 6, 2022

6) UP THE RIVER TO PEDREGAL 🇵🇦 PANAMA 

Hello
all! You may recall we were wondering about Zihuatenejo and Acapulco
for checking in to Mexico. After more research and phone calls, we
finally caved and are heading to Chiapas. Much easier it seems!! So
maybe we’ll see some of you there! We just checked out of Panama. We
went up the river to Pedregal, through the Boca Brava entrance. It was
pretty fun; they were definitely not accustomed to seeing sailboats up
here. (We have a lifting centerboard). I speak fluent Spanish so was
able to get some of the low-down on checking in/out here. They require
48 hours notice. Carlos works directly with the Port Captain, Moises.
(We did not use Carlos as we came all the way up here and were able to
do it ourselves.) Puero Armuelles uses the same office. They did not
recommend going there as that port is used more for the bigger container
ships and you still end up in Pedregal. David has some big, good
grocery stores. I’ll put more notes on GoodNautical but am posting the
quick and dirty here as I’m not sure how much longer we’ll have service.
Cheers!

9)  FISHING NET NUISANCE 
TEMPORARILY RESOLVED BY MEMO
 🇲🇽  CHIAPAS, MEXICO     
 

Here's
the outcome of our night-time encounter with an unlit floating fishing
net off the entrance to Puerto Madero, Chiapas. To recap, the incident
happened at about 05.00 last Saturday, at N14°38.01' W092°25.72', about
3.5nm off the coast.

Memo
has been great throughout, liaising with the port captain and making
sure we were fairly treated.  We stated to the Port Captain that we
were totally willing to make a good will contribution to repairing the
net even though it wasn't our fault. The port captain however "ruled"
that we should make no such payment and that if the net owner wanted to
claim from us, then we would be entitled to claim for any damage to our
boat, which would easily exceed the cost of repairs to the net. (We will
need to touch up the hull/keel joint where we snagged the net.)

The
fishermen's 'Patron'' got greedy and when the incident happened was
trying to intimidate us somewhat into paying an excessive amount, which
is why we told them we would resolve it in Port and they have now ended
up with nothing. They will hopefully not now take the same approach with
any other unfortunate yachts they 'catch'.

The
incident was not pleasant but we did not feel in real danger and would
certainly not want this to put off anyone coming into Chiapas.

The
small panga with the two fishermen that arrived a while  after we
got caught up just had a number. Their patron who arrived later was
called Jomo, also on a panga with just a number.

Memo
was great and very helpful. By the time we got into the Port with 4
pangas following us, Memo had reported the incident to the Port Captain
who requested that we and also the fishermen's 'Patron' (who was the one
trying to make us pay $1,000 for damaging his net) both provide him
with written accounts of the incident. Memo and Rolf helped us write the
report in Spanish and took us to deliver it to the Port Captain
yesterday. 

We
have to return tomorrow, Monday, to complete our formal check-in with
the Port Captain and find out his decision re whether any compensation
due. We'll let you know the outcome.

Answer : That’s Albacora. Excellent meat!

SY OUTVENTURE: Bonito has dark red meat, this one light red meat. Best to just sear it.

 14)   BAR CROSSING INTO EL SALVADOR WEEKLY WEATHER UPDATE

This weeks bar forecast compiled by La Palma Moorings

Contact Bill and Jean  
+503 7487 4969 
lapalmamoorings@aol.com

April  4 - 9, 2022  Notes:

1
Entry is only permitted at high tide during daylight hours.
Daylight hours include civil twilight (about 40 minutes before
sunrise or 40 minutes after sunset). Morning tides are always better due
to the absence of wind waves.

 

In
the middle of the week we enter a neap tide cycle which decreases the
depths at the bar.  Average depth should be 9 feet.

 

Tides beginning April 6 are morning tides.

 

For
the forecast period the average primary swell is 3.4 feet and the
significant swell is 4.6 feet. April 9 the significant swell touches 5.5
feet coupled with a neap tide of 4. feet so passage over the bar may
not be possible.  April 4 through 8 appear to be good days for
arrival or departure.

 

As always, please contact Bill and Jean before arrival/departure.

Changes to COVID protocols for entry to El Salvador by sea.

If
you received a COVID vaccination you may now enter El Salvador by
showing proof of vaccination.  If the vaccination is the two-dose
type you must present proof of receiving  both doses.

For
all others you must present either a negative PCR-RT, LAMP, or NAAT
test.  You must arrive withing 72-hours of receiving the test
results.

As
always contact us via email (elsalvadorrally@aol.com) before leaving
your last port so we can send other important arrival information.
