6) HO’OKIPA PUTTING MILES UNDER THEIR KEEL AGAIN

 

PANAMA POSSE AMAZON SIDETRIP

 

MV HO’OKIPA goes from Isla San Andres to Roatan a 62 hour push.

 

Hokipa's Track

 

This is a milestone for MV HO’OKIPA as they have been in Bocas for a few seasons now and are underway once again.  

It
was a tough passage to San Andres from Bocas Del Toro with average 7
foot swells and confused seas but Ho’okipa (and her stabilizers!!! Thank
you) performed beautifully! Tiny bit better to the turn west then
smooth sailing with wind swell behind us.  We cut the corner into
pirate area figuring in these conditions if you want us come get us.
Saw 4 fishing trawlers there but they were just minding their own
business.

Daily
80 cents per foot. Weekly 60, monthly 50. Power (30A) and water (non
potable due to salt) included. Docks are in poor condition, and docking
can be a bit challenging at times due to the varying 1 to 3 knot current
in the estuary. Joining the “cruisers club” is $15 a week additional
and gives you full access to the pools, showers, garbage, and discounts
on the restaurants and dollar local beers. Bar crossing was easy, but
needs to be pre-arranged with Bill and Jean at elsalvsdorrally@aol.com

10) IT IS SCARLETT MACAW SEASON 

IN BELIZE  🇧🇿

December
is a special time of year the world over.  For the Scarlett Macaws
of Belize it is a time of migration from their breeding grounds to
their feeding grounds.  Macaw begin gathering at their feeding
grounds in the Red Bank Village in December and Peak in February and
March

About the Scarlet Macaw.

Of the estimated total population of less than 5,000, less than 250 scarlet macaws, specifically the subspecies Ara macao cyanoptera
still exist within the country. Red Bank seems to be the most popular
location for Belize’s scarlet macaws, as most of them frequent the
jungles surrounding the village.

Scarlet
macaws can fly as swiftly as 35 miles per hours, usually in pairs or
small groups. When winter draws near, the macaws fly away from their
homes along the Maya Mountains in order to find food throughout Red Bank
and the rest of southern Belize. Common foodstuffs of the scarlet macaw
include portions of the Prickly Yellow and Wild Annato (whose waxy seed
covers have been converted into the condiment known as “achiote” or
“bijol”), as well as the fruit of the flowering Xylopia frutescens.

Factors
contributing toward the scarlet macaw’s endangered status would be the
efforts of poachers looking to capture them as pets, the destruction of
their habitat and low birth rates.  As their species numbers are
currently low, seeing them in mass in Belize is that much more
impressive.

Almonds are a favored food for the Scarlett Macaw in Red Bank Village, Belize 

11) GOOD NAUTICAL: ISLA PARGA 🇵🇦 PANAMA

GOOD NAUTICAL

Among
the Islas Secas Archipelago in Western Pacific Panama is Isla Parga.
The anchorages on this island are favored by many Posse members
that have travelled this way.

Good Nautical Isla Parga

Kyle on SY JUBEL shares this anchorage as one of his favorites along their route from Canada 🇨🇦  to Panama  🇵🇦 :

We snorkeled around the tiny island above the pin I dropped. It has a shelf that goes from 20-75 feet and it’s amazing.

SY MAISON DE SANTÉ  is there now and shares:

JUBEL
🌵🦜 Kyle Thanks for shouting out Pargo in the Secas when you were down
this way. On our 4th year of cruising and immediately (this) became our
favorite anchorage. The builder for the resort down here said Dec is
the best month.

Keenan, Nicole and Jack have a new favorite anchorage in the Secas.

13) SHAFT SHARK 

SPONSORS THE PANAMA POSSE

Ahoy Panama Posse

 

Propeller Line Cutter

Protect your drive train and propeller with the best rope, line and debris cutter there is. Available for both power and sail.

The
SHAFT SHARK line cutter is a serrated edge circular blade machined from
high quality (316L) type stainless steel. It is easy to install; no
drilling, tapping or dismantling. It is a split 2x piece unit for quick
and simple installation, no need to remove propeller.

 

Zero
maintenance since there are no moving parts
(cutters/bearings/zincs/stops) to maintain or replace annually. Easily
re-sharpened if necessary.

 

What does it do?

Attached
to your shaft just forward of your propeller, it rotates with the
shaft, cutting away any rope, weed or debris that might try to entangle
your shaft and propeller while you are underway.

Why do I need one?

To keep your propeller free from rope, weeds and underwater debris.

Eliminate the possibility of damage to your shaft, propeller and strut.

Eliminate the need for being towed due to fouled stern gear or propeller.

Drag and Efficiency

The
SHAFT SHARK is sized to both the shaft diameter and the propeller hub
diameter to ensure the lowest drag and minimal waterflow factors for the
boat and propeller efficiency. Overall these two factors will vary
depending upon the speed of the boat. This is why there are different
model units to suit all shaft and hub combinations.

14) MEET THE FLEET  

GRETCHEN AND TIM ON 

SY FELICITÀ 

We’re
Gretchen and Tim sailing aboard Felicità, our Catalina 42. We met
racing Rhodes 19s in Chicago in 2014 and set off on this blue water
dream when we bought the boat in 2018. We refit the boat in San Diego
and left for Mexico in October 2022. We spent last season finding our
cruising legs and have opted to stay in Mexico for another season
because there are parts of the Sea of Cortez we haven’t yet explored.
Our plan is to make it to Zihuatanejo for Guitar Fest and then we’ll
return to the Sea through early summer 2024. Then next year, we’ll
boogie down through the Canal and who knows from there! When we’re not
on the boat, we’re at our land base in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.

You
can follow our antics and adventures on YouTube at GnT Sailing. We look
forward to crossing wakes with all our fellow Posse members. And if
we’re lucky enough to share an anchorage, break bread and share a laugh!

WITH NIGEL CALDER

A
detailed and critical discussion with regards to electrical connections
on boats can be found on the panama posse website at this

According
to Nigel very few boats have wiring that is actually 100% to the proper
marine standards.  Watching this seminar with Nigel will help boat
owners understand how to make the wiring on their vessels safer when
running new wires, changing old wires, or assessing existing runs.

17)  MUST SEE: 

Museo Nacional de Antropología 🇲🇽  

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Museo Nacional de Antropología Mexico City

Cultural Richness


Diverse Collection: The museum showcases the vast and rich
cultural heritage of Mexico’s pre-Columbian civilizations, offering
insights into the complex societies that flourished in this region.


Exploring Ancestral Connections: Many of the civilizations
represented in the museum, like the Maya and Aztecs, have historical and
cultural links to various sites along the Panama Posse route.

 Correlation with Panama Posse Route

Broad horizons & unique experiences

    Ancient Civilizations: Visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the ancient cultures they will encounter or learn about during their journey.

    Artifacts and Exhibits: The
museum is home to some of the most significant archaeological and
anthropological artifacts from Mexico’s pre-Columbian heritage,
including the Stone of the Sun (often referred to as the Aztec calendar
stone) and the Aztec Xochipilli statue.

The calendar

Piedra del Sol

Let’s
get the most obvious one out of the way first; the infamous Aztec
sunstone (sometimes wrongly referred to as the calendar stone) that was
unearthed during the building of the Metropolitan Cathedral in 1790. Weighing in at 24 tonnes,
this is a truly magnificent archaeological masterpiece that may well
seem strangely familiar, probably because it features on the back of the
ten-peso coin. While many theories have been proposed about the meaning
of the sun stone, no common conclusion has been reached. Nevertheless,
it’s easily the most emblematic exhibit of the Anthropology Museum

Statue of Xochipilli

This
16th-century Aztec statue was discovered at the base of Mexico’s second
tallest mountain Popocatépetl in the 19th century. Depicting the figure
of Xochipilli, the Aztec god of art, games and dance, it appears to
show him in the midst of an ecstatic, drug-induced state. This
interpretation is reinforced by the seemingly hallucinogenic plants
which are carved all over it, and his body language, and positioning. A
fascinating example of Mesoamerican sculpture, detailing cultural
experiences that many agree have never been depicted in European art,
it’s certainly a must-see.

Waypoint Yacht Services

“Our
vision is to provide a top tier service to our customers while covering
every potential need they may have when approaching shore. 

Small
yachts (up to 38.1 meters LOA) are expected to experience substantial
delays, and in the meantime, we will be able and willing to help you
mitigate this impact and serve you.
