5) REFLECTIONS ON SEASON 6
FROM SY FREEDOM:

The Panama Posse began as a resourceโ€ฆHaving never โ€œCruisedโ€, we set out to move our boat from Southern CA to Southern FL, with 4.5 months to prepare. The Panama Posse website was and continues to be an amazing source of information. From logistics planning, understanding country procedures, access to additional resources for anchorages, marinas, and tours; the website is the most comprehensive tool we have found when planning our trip. The San Diego Launch party was the first of many opportunities to meet fellow cruisers, that are now lifelong friends. As we left southern CA, the information and contacts made through the line app was incredibly valuable. With boats in front and behind us sharing information, we always seemed to have information delivered to us with impeccable timing. Although much of this was available on the website, it was efficiently delivered as we approached our next location through the shared real-time experiences of other members.

What the Posse has become for us is an incredible group of people that have shared experiences, meals, cocktails and much more together. When members needed help, information or services, the group was incredibly responsive with providing options. Boaters in general have a Corinthian spirit. This group takes that to a whole new level. With each member planning their trip/adventure according to their specific needs/schedule, it allows a much larger group to be involved with broader perspectives and value. You can participate in as much or little as you desire. Although, the interactions online and meeting other Posse members was one of our favorite memories of the season resulting in. So so many new friends, with similar interests and experiences. We are still not fulltime cruisers, but plan to spend time exploring the Bahamas, Florida Keys and East Coast over the next few years.

We hope to continue building relationships and knowledge through the Panama Posse!

Anchorage

 

Isla Secas is a small archipelago located in Western Pacific – the Gulf of Chiriqui in Panama. The two largest and named islands in this group are Isla Cavada and Isla Pargo. There are several small unnamed islands that are easily explored from the anchorages off both named islands. These islands are remote, tropical, and exceptionally beautiful above and below the waterline.

13) LAND TRIP TO THE

FLOR DE CAร‘A DISTILLERY

Another great day trip with our guide and now friend Luis at #Pinoleratoursnicaragua.

SY Firefly is currently touring various sites near marina Puesta del Sol in Nicaragua. Last week they visited the Flor de Caรฑa distillery in nearby El Viejo. This award winning distiller has been in continuous operation since 1890. Their spirits are sugar free, gluten free, and kosher.

The Flor de Cana distillery offers private tours at $100 per person or group tours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11am, 2pm and 5pm. The private tour go’ers also get a tasting of the 30 year aged rum.

Although we were in a group tour Flor de Caรฑa provided an english speaking guide to accompany us. And, what a treat to meet Bryanna whose impeccable English and newfound knowledge of Flor de Caรฑa as a new employee was a nice surprise. She is the recent recipient of a US scholarship for online study of English. You could tell she is a very excellent student by her near perfect English. I wish I could say my Spanish was half as good.

They reconstitute bourbon barrels from Kentucky which is my hometown, and also American whiskey distilleries. In this case she mentioned using Jack Daniels barrels.

Flor de Caรฑa is a privately held family company currently in its 5th generation. The company provides heath care and education benefits to the families who work at with them. They are one of the most well regarded companies in Nicaragua.

TO HEAD OUT ON THIS DAY TRIP LEAVE EARLY FROM MARINA CHIAPAS WITH MIGUEL ANGEL OF DISCOVERY TOURS+52 962 133 6820 TOURSDISCOVERCHIAPAS@HOTMAIL.COM

The highlands where the coffee grows are stunning.

The coffee production in Mexico is the worldโ€™s 8th largest and is mainly concentrated to the south central to southern regions of the country. The coffee is mainly Arabica, and lately Robusta which grows particularly well in the coastal region of Soconusco, Chiapas, near the border of Guatemala.

Monte Alban

ONCE A COFFEE PLANT IS MATURE, IT WILL PRODUCE FLOWERS;

THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER HEAVY RAINFALL.

…AND THEN, AFTER THE FLOWERS, COMES THE CHERRIES.

Only the ripe cherries are harvested and they are picked individually by hand. Pickers rotate among the trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries which are at the peak of ripeness. It usually takes two to four years after planting for a coffee plant to produce coffee beans that are ripe enough to harvest. The plant eventually grows small white blossoms that drop and are replaced by green berries. These green berries will become a deep red color as they ripen. It takes about 9 months for the green cherries to reach their deepest red color. Because this kind of harvest is labor-intensive, and thus more costly, it is used primarily to harvest the finer arabica beans.

After harvest, Coffee cherries are laid out in the sun to dry before being roasted or…..

…..beans are put in a 100 year old coffee bean drying machine.

This machine is belt driven and uses water as the source of energy to run.

Last week a tour of 15 cruisers visited la Ruta del Cafe.

La Ruta del Cafe includes tours of Fincas that grow, harvest, roast, and sell coffee.

Most curious phenomenon we encountered off the coast of La Paz, ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ Mexico.

This turtle sought refuge among floating debris and line. At first we thought it was entangled. We then saw a school of sharks circling underneath, and some scar marks on its hind quarters. It was trying to escape them! When we came close, it swam towards us! Hopefully, we scared the sharks away!
