“all that is true is rare and difficult”
― Unknown
We want to thank the 39 vessels which have already
signed up for the next 2020-2021 Panama Posse Season
( to do so reply with "sign me up again" )
1) As a affirmation to LIFE, the camaraderie with fellow seaman
and as a demonstration that we shall overcome this virus as a species
please join us and fellow Panama Posse vessels in your area
at 17:00 LOCAL TIME and emit 3 prolonged (4-6 seconds) blasts know as "show blasts"
A special thank you to
Ho'Okipa, Joy and Dragonfly here in Barra for participating
2) PANAMA CANAL TRANSIT UPDATE FOR VESSELS UNDER 65 FEET
3rd party Panama Canal update:
Our boat Lazy Travels, with Ohana and Nutmeg just crossed the Panama Canal from Atlantic to Pacific
Here are the details for how it happened for us:
We were allowed to use 4 line handlers for the entire 3 boat raft. Each boat had a transit advisor provided by the canal.
We were not allowed to use Canal line handlers, we had to find boats to transit with us that in combination would provide us with enough crew for the raft (4 line handlers, 3 captains, and if any children onboard someone separate to look after them. Seriously you need all 4 line handlers to be able to give their undivided attention at all times).
We were also unable to rent lines, fenders or tires to reduce contamination. We had to make sure that we had enough to meet the requirements (4 long lines, plus enough fenders for the raft and canal. Personal recommendation is to have a lot of fenders, and a few big round ones).
It seems like you must use an agent at this time, although we only used one to process our payment and paid a reduced fee ($150 USD, name Roger, organized by Shelter Bay Marina).
Shelter Bay Marina with the help of cruisers themselves organized the measurement of the boats. There is currently an excel spread sheet that lists all boats that want to cross the canal with their information. This is not an official document, but makes it easier to coordinate with all the yachts.
Basically we had to organize our own: measurement, crew, lines and fenders. The most difficult part was finding 3 boats who together meet all the requirements and were ready to cross.
Our transit advisor said HIS OPINION is that the canal will continue to stay open for small vessels. I think this is based on need, and how smooth everything went using reduced line handlers.
Serious thank you to all the cruisers and staff at Shelter Bay Marina who basically made this happen.
To many more happy canal crossings !!

3) Country Updates
Mexico 4,219 273†
- border closings between USA and Mexico but commercial entry permitted - outbound and inbound vessels still possible
- certain ports are closed or locking down and exit zarpes are issued electronically for a fee via agents if required this
includes Puerto Vallarta and Areas of the Sea of Cortes
Mexico has implemented temperature-screening measures at all airports and many road checks. Reduced flights and Capacity.
Passengers with abnormal temperatures and travel to high-risk areas might be subject to additional health screening.
REPORT FROM HUATULCO
A little bit more color on what is occurring in Mexico (from our perspective of being in Huatulco):
- There was some slowing of the town a month ago (Cruise ships and tourists stopped coming then) but everything has got much tighter in the last week.
- Restaurants, bars, hotels are all closed. Just the supermarkets, gas stations and Oxxo’s are open.
- A very few restaurants have switched to take-aways but that is comparatively rare. The city is a ghost town.
- The mayor has posted municipal police in road blocks at multiple points across the city, questioning the purpose of any trip.
- The airport is now also closed to domestic flights, with the exception of one single flight a week to/from Mexico City.
- The Federal Highway remains open but many (if not most) exits are blocked off - by municipal police in the case of organized towns and by groups of locals (unarmed, so far as we can tell) in the smaller communities – refusing entry to outsiders. That seems to now be the norm, everywhere.
- It would therefore now be difficult to get out of here by either air or by road (unless you drive non-stop - you would likely find no hotels on route).
- The “social distancing” thing seems to be misunderstood – not all police wear face masks when they question you (up close). Moreover, these local groups (they can feel more like mobs) blocking roads are congregating in groups of 20, 30 or more, missing the entire point of the lock down.
- The Navy has stationed a vessel at the entrance to the harbor (at least during daylight hours). We haven’t actually seen any boat attempt to leave the harbor (not even one single panga), to know what the navy’s orders are – but we understand the harbor master is instructing vessels not to leave (although we have heard there is an exception for foreign vessels leaving the area or the country but do not have first-hand knowledge on that).
- While there seems to be no actual restriction on 3rd party contractors, working on boats, the reality is that many of the local workers voluntarily stopped work. Our mechanic reported that his employees simply abandoned him, some ten days ago, making it hard to continue offering any service.
- On a personal note, we are still working on the rebuild of the engine. Getting the parts across the US: Mexico border was challenging (we had to find someone with an essential job who was authorized to travel in both California and across the border). Nonetheless, provided no new restrictions are implemented, we are hopeful it will be complete within a few weeks / a month max. Provided we successfully get away, we will head to Bara Navidad. Please note, however, that we spoke to Miriam today and she advised that she is not certain she can accommodate us, as the marina is nearly full.

Panama - no entry permitted 14 day quarantine has been obtained by some in internal movements
- curfew w/ 1 hour movement x certain day for with 30 minutes based on ID number and day and gender - no alcohol sales -
This was posted via email by Marina Pez Vela:
Pursuant to Administrative Resolution DM-RM-0852-2020, issued by the Ministry of Health on April 2, from April 3 at five in the afternoon and until April 12 at midnight, the marina will be closed to the public.
During this period there are to be no offered services including, but not limited to: issuance of zarpes, issuance of floats plans, repairs, haul out or launches, among others.
After April 12, it is expected to be able to return the Marina to operations and therefore apply the following protocols until the Government declares the state of Emergency ended.
We appreciate your understanding and we ask you to abide by the regulations to avoid sanctions and above all in support of this campaign for the health of all concerned.
Marina Pez Vela is a company and a family, which has always distinguished itself by its solidarity and commitment to the social, cultural and environmental causes of the surrounding community. In the past few weeks and foreseeable future, this general commitment also must include meeting the standards of prevention and containment of the global pandemic known as COVID-19. The project not only has a commitment to the health and security of our clients, contractors and staff, whom we care for in all aspects, but also to fulfilling our National Responsibilities as a Marine Concession. Our concession requires that we must comply with a series of general provisions, legal parameters old and new, such as those established on March 10, 2020 by the Executive Decree number 42221-MP_S as well as the National Law on Emergencies and Risk Prevention, Law 8488 of November 22, 2006, both of which outline our legal responsibility to support in the prevention of pandemics and any other health risks, and specifically in reducing the contagion curve of COVID-19.
Therefore, we respectfully request and urge you to take the following steps:
- Minimize and avoid, if possible, the use of your boats for unnecessary purposes, and that the boat remains docked to your respective slip or dry dock (as the case may be). These measures of limited use have been suggested by the Costa Rican Health Ministry in relation to asking everyone to stay home so that the presence of the workers, captain or owners of the boat is only for the purposes of required maintenance, care, and security.
- For all boats that are for private, recreational use: In the event that you are required to navigate due to an emergency, required maintenance, provisioning, or other reason that is of absolute necessity, all navigation must be done in accordance with the float plan. Boat capacity will be restricted to half the normal number of people (including captain and crew) No navigation plans will be authorized to any other port of landing or marina as a point of arrival, except in cases of emergency.
- Always request your due Float Plan at the main office, in the event you are stopped by the Coast Guard, it is important for them to know what your port of Origin is.
- We urge vessels that maintain their operations within the marina (tourist fishing vessels, catamarans, diving vessels) to minimize their operations for a reasonable period, until the authorities remove the national alert and restrictions. Also, please abide by the rules of distance between one person and another to avoid potential exposure to one another, and decrease the number of guests, clients or persons on board by at least 50 percent of the boat's capacity.
- Extreme basic hygiene measures inside your boats should be taken, insuring that any and all aboard can wash with antibacterial soap, alcohol gel, disposable paper towels, and trash cans with lids for disposal.
- In the case of vessels that are under temporary importation, have the National Zarpe issued by the Port Captain Office.
- Additionally, we urge all clients and visitors, workers or collaborators of the Marina to rationally use public services, especially water, since this is a resource that is of utmost importance for sanitary reasons and is already being rationed in many parts of Costa Rica.
- As a Marina, we cannot deny the use of your boats, however, we urge you to stay at home to avoid the spread of the virus.
We are always at your disposal to assist you.
Best regards,
Carter Ludwing TakacsCédula # 18400124735Administrador Marina Pez Vela
From the Panama Canal Authority effective 09 April:
ADVISORY TO SHIPPING No. A-14-2020
TO :
SUBJECT: Temporary Procedures for Small Craft Transits during COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the current outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Republic of Panama and around the world, through the Ministry of Health (MINSA), the Panamanian government has imposed a total quarantine in the Republic of Panama. Consequently, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) deems it necessary to implement strict measures to reduce the exposure to COVID-19 and protect the health of its employees, the Panamanian people, as well as vessels’ personnel, in order to prevent further spread of the virus. Therefore, the following procedures will be implemented for all small craft below 20 m (65 feet) in length overall (LOA) effective April 09, 2020:
1. Upon arrival at Balboa Anchorage or Cristobal Breakwater, the small craft shall contact the corresponding signal station announcing its arrival and requesting anchoring instructions, if applicable.
2. All crew and passengers arriving in Canal waters on board pleasure yachts are required to remain aboard under observation and surveillance by Panamanian authorities for a period of not less than 14 calendar days, regardless of port of origin or amount of days at sea.
3. Uponcompletionofthis14dayperiod,theywillbeevaluatedbytheMinistryofHealth (MINSA) to determine if there is any risk of contagion. Likewise, the master/skipper shall report to Canal and Panamanian health authorities if any passenger or crewmember on board shows virus-related symptoms or any other sickness.
4. In order for personnel on board to properly maintain quarantine, all transit arrangements shall be made by a representative ashore, such as a local agent or the corresponding marina where the small craft is anchored or moored.
5. The small craft representative shall call the ACP Admeasurement Unit (tel. 272-4577) in order to provide all the required information.
6. Inaddition,thesmallcraftrepresentativeshallsendtoNTOT-AS@pancanal.comthe following information:
- Yacht SIN number, name, flag, length (m), beam (m), arrival date confirmation (provided by the representative or the marina)
- Arrival crew list
- Yacht’s register
- Profile picture of the yacht
- Signed Release form
- Completed Handline Lockage Request form
- Copy of all crew passports
7. Theagentorrepresentativeshallmakearrangementsforplacementofthetransit guarantee, or payment in cash, which shall include tolls and other maritime services, as well as the buffer.
8. Once the guarantee has been confirmed, the representative or marina shall call the ACP vessel scheduler, at 272-4202 to coordinate their transit date.
9. In addition to the master/skipper, the small craft shall have at least four line handlers available, as required by ACP regulations. These linehandlers must have already been on board the small craft during the quarantine period mentioned in (2) above.
10.All other transit requirements remain the same and are available at:
http://pancanal.com/common/maritime/forms/4352-2020.pdf
11.On the day of transit, only the ACP transit advisor will board the small craft and disembark once his assignment has been completed. Only ACP personnel will be permitted to board or disembark the small craft.
The ACP is continuously monitoring the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and will announce any changes to these measures in a timely manner.

- reported entry possible via Key West with health checks for US flagged Vessels
For those heading to Key West USA, on return from your Panama adventures, the Stock Island Marina took us in as a temporary safe harbor from overseas on arrival, until we were ready to safely leave in a bit over a week having done our fixes, provisioning, and weather window. A five star facility. Not cheap. But great help in the face of a county government that shut down the Florida Keys.MV ANGELIQUE

8) Update departure from Panama , Shelter Bay Marina - to Twinn Dolphin Marina Bradenton, Florida
Tuesday morning we initiated exit paperwork from Panama with SV Litha(also Seattle flagged).
( we had pre-prepped for this push)
Our plan- get our exit paperwork from Panama and sail to Florida.
Step 1. Quarantined in place minimum of 14 days at Shelter Bay Marina. We did not leave the Marina premises. Although we did walk around the Marina using social distancing protocols.
Step 2. After the quarantine period, Marina manager requested and received a health certificate from the government.
Paraphrasing- it states we have been in a supervised quarantine at SBM in our named vessel, with no c-19 symptoms at any time or at present.
Step 3 - obtain a Zarpe, which required the health certificate. To get the Zarpe we were in a bit of a quandary. The Colon Port Captain said we needed to go to Colon to obtain the Zarpe. We did not want violate the quarantine so took that option off the table.
Since we had transited the canal, we had an agent Erick Galvez who had all our paperwork. We had previously contacted Erick and he said he couldn’t help us. The port captain suggested that Erick could use a VUMPA ( not sure but this appears to be an electronic request for Zarpe from a system canal agents have access to) Anyway, agent still claimed it was a two day process including a trip to Flamenco. After some additional inquiries and gentle proding and providing all paperwork again and the new health certificate. We received a Zarpe electronically.
Step 4. Print your Zarpe and present it to immigration. Fortunately SBM has an immigration office and again the SBM marina manager was a hero and requested that immigration return to the office for a second time in the same day to stamp our passports with the marine exit stamp.
Step 5. Now armed with our paperwork and an extra copy in case we are stopped by Aeronaval or other CG entity. Again JuanJo went to discuss our exit with the aeronaval station watch ( at the entrance to SBM) and advised that 2 vessels would be departing the marina and exiting the Canal Zone breakwater. ( there was a patrol at the canal/colon breakwater)
Step6. Execute the departure from the breakwater and head North. ( this was Tuesday 3/31 mid afternoon).
We are grateful and indebted for all the help from JuanJo at SBM for helping Blue Oasis and Litha get out of Panamá officially in one day.
Next Chapter the sail North, Blue Oasis covered 600nm to Grand Cayman arriving last evening 4/4 .
This was our personal longest non-stop double hand. But wait there is more.
Port of Caymans is closed for clearance. We knew this but they are providing fuel to private vessels in transit. The very nice port security also asked if we needled groceries. Barry plans to ask for Beer, Rum and ice!
Of course today is Sunday, no fuel til tomorrow morning Monday.
We plan to top up and proceed to the Yucatán straits then arc north on the gulf loop current towards Tampa. Next update in about a week. Thank you to fellow posse members for support through our satellite comms enroute. You know who you are. We are humbly appreciative.. will be sharing beer, rum, tequila when our paths cross again.
Our buddy boat Litha is out here too, they didn’t need to stop for fuel top up. So we’ll be chasing them tomorrow to the straits.
All the best to everyone on this uncharted journey we are all on.
Be patient, but focused, be kind, smile it goes a long way.
1400nm 11 nights 12 days at sea. Shelter Bay Marina Panama to Twinn Dolphin Marina Bradenton Florida. Amazing weather windows, nothing significant broke! All our repairs held. We carry 90gal diesel(including Jerry cans) sip it at 1 1/3 gal/ hour. Topped up fuel in Grand Cayman (closed port, but port captain was happy to have us hang on a mooring ball overnight and as long as we stayed on leave our vessel,Saturday the 4th) no fuel on Sunday. Saturday we scrapped our bottom free of barnacles from 5 weeks at SBM.
Monday the 6th we topped up. After a good mix of wind and current between Colon and Grand Cayman,600nm, there was only 4-5 knots directly behind us up to the Yukatan straits. Motor on. So we wanted to make sure we had enough fuel to cross the Gulf of Mexico if the wind continued to be uncooperative.
We swung into Isla Mujeres for literally a 1 hour stop at the fuel dock. Our great buddy boat Bonzai arranged for us to get fuel (va & ven) and few much appreciated fresh fruits and veg.
From Isla Mujeres we caught the emerging Gulf Stream North into the deep part of the Gulf. 10 hour spinnaker run, followed by a fast 13 hour reach. Almost 24 hours with no engine at all. Tremendous. Due to a cold front from south US we angled to Ft Meyers, to foot the knock. We were 3nm from the coast waiting for the knock.... 1am Saturday, there it was , like we ordered it. The wind clocked right around to the North to North East off shore. Tack to the Mark!!!! The rest of the night was a beautiful off shore sail 15-20 app Kts, close reach, with the din of USA starboard. Sunrise over longboat key! We made it!

Quarantine and Clearing Procedures
FLAG PROTOCOL
Usually one Q (YELLOW) flag when requesting clearance(‘My vessel is “healthy” and I request free pratique’ – flown until free pratique granted)or two Q flags or Q+repeat when in quarantine(‘I require health clearance’ – again flown until health clearance/pratique granted).
On a sailing vessel the Q FLAG is flown on the starboard spreader under visiting countries ensign which shall always be flown higher out of respect .The courtesy Ensign has the superior position on the Starboard Crosstrees.
Certain jurisdictions may require/request additional/alternate flags be flown, so it is handy to have a full set of flags aboard. It is suggested that captains obtain extra or heavy duty Q flags as it may be required to fly them for an extended period if in quarantine: the typical off the shelf Q flags are not designed for extended use.(The international code of signals can be downloaded from https://msi.nga.mil/Publications/ICOS to learn other flags signals and uses.)
PLANNING AHEAD DURING EPIDEMICS
As countries lift – reinstate – ease or tighten quarantine and travel restrictions for private yachts, associated marinas, marine service businesses will also be affected and need to establish a common protocol.
1) EXITING A COUNTRY ON A PRIVATE VESSEL
If you are able get a viable test for you and the crew and enter this test into your vessel’s log book as a official ships record -Record each crew member’s temperature date and time and location and take a picture of the crew member with the thermometer and publish it into the LINE group for and additional witnesses and digital log and time stamp !
Save your test results into a physical and a digital folder ( google / dropbox a.m.o. will allow you to share those docks with others so it’s a good choice )
Get you Zarpes or exits papers if availMinimize your interaction with Marina Staff and Government Officials

2) ENTERING A COUNTRY FROM THE HIGH SEAS
Notify Country of intentions via email ahead of time or logged phone call and write it in your ships log
If you have been at seas for over 14 days and can prove it ( GPS track and logbook ) upon arrival in a new country you must comply with the clearing in procedures
During a epidemic countries will designate your entry to a Quarantine area such as a Q dock or Q anchorage or Q dock within a marina.
It is your responsibility to comply with these rules and be sensitive to changes to these rule sets on a moments notice.

3) ENTERING A COUNTRY FROM ANOTHER COASTAL COUNTRY or ADJACENT NEARBY MARITIME AREA
Please check with official government website for the country you are visiting, to ensure:
- If a health screening is needed prior to your departure (or be aware that a screening is to be expected at your arrival).
- If a negative covid test is needed prior to your arrival AND if it needs to be within a certain time frame. i.e. A person must get and receive a negative Covid test within 10 days of arrival to new destination. (Currently, the Bahamas requires a negative test with 10 days of arrival)
- Make sure your country of origin/passport is accepted for entry. Countries are imposing ongoing regulations and restrictions on visitors and your country of origin may not be allowed for clearing in. Please contact ports ahead of time for possible exceptions if persons/crew on a boat are of differing origin; if one origin is “banned” and another is “not banned”.
4) MOVING AROUND A COUNTRY WITHIN THE SAME MARITIME AREAS AS A FOREIGN FLAGGED VESSEL
Please adhere to local guidelines and follow best practices – if clearing in and out with port captains is required establish an electronic methodology
Reduce your interaction in with individuals, wear masks, practice social distancing and adhere to local guidelines whenever possible.Upon returning to your vessel wash your hands and clean any documents.
5) APPROACHING A MARINA, YACHT CLUB or FUEL DOCK
Enhanced cleaning practices – expected at MarinasMake contact with facility via VHF email or Phone callsProvide documentation, id’s and payment electronically ahead of time
VesselPut on face-masks and post maneuvers wash your hands
Gloves are not needed, just after you touch a foreign/outside object be sure to use alcohol Gel disinfectant and/or wash your hands.
6) MARINA STAFF ASSISTING VESSELS AT THE DOCK
As a best practice, employees assisting at the dock should maintain social distancing while in phase one of reopeningguidance.
• Instruct your dock hand to maintain a 6ft distance when possible• Require your dock hand to have a face-covering available (bandana, cloth mask, N95 mask, or other)• Instruct dock hands to wash their hands often and not to touch their face. They should be following standardhygienic practices regarding coughing and sneezing, utilizing the elbow.• Provide dock hands with hand sanitizer and other means to clean and disinfect their hands.• Have dock hands radio incoming vessels and ask if they need assistance approaching the dock (as opposed toautomatically jumping in to help)• Encourage dock hands to use mooring hooks, when applicable, rather than handing lines from the customersto the dock hand. This will help maintain social distancing.
If throwing lines to marina staff or other help full boaters please wash your hands after throwing or accepting lines to reduce the chance of infectionMinimize yelling – when mending the lines and connecting water and shore power wear face-masks
Assisting vessels at the dock. Good to VHF radio whether or not you want help with handling lines before you get there and ask marina staff they wear a mask and wash hands right before helping…
Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water right after handling lines. If you want to be extra precautionary you can wash the lines/cleat (anyplace someone else touched your boat) with soapy water or a bleach solution and remember the virus can only live on outside surfaces for so long:
-
- 72 hours on plastics
- 48 hours on stainless steel
- 24 hours on cardboard
- 4 hours on copper
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL CDC has issued guidance relatedto cleaning and disinfecting community facilities i.e. Marinas. Additionally, the CDC has provided a list of products that are bestsuited for killing the virus.
It is important to note that Marinas deploy enhanced cleaning procedures and adhere to worker protection and provide training to the staff.Marina Staff Training must include a review of when Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE) is required, what PPE is necessary, and how to put on, take off, and properly dispose of PPE
• Office areas: OSHA’s Blood Borne Pathogen Standard— desktops, phones, computers, chairs, door handles• Ship store: door handles, countertops, phones, computers• Docks: gates, PIN pads, card readers, handles• Fuel dock: fuel pump nozzle, PIN pads
As a best practice, while under stay-at-home orders, yards at marinas and yacht clubs should remain secure so thatadmittance can be monitored by the owners/operators. In the event a vessel owner or other persons wish to accesstheir vessel, they should be cautioned about social distancing and monitored to ensure no groups form.This is important to protect your employees as well. Follow any local stay-at-home orders.As different states lift stay-at-home orders and relieve restrictions on businesses, these guidelines will change. It isbest to think about how Marina operations will change as restrictions lift.
SHARED SHOWERS and BATHROOMS: things to consider:
-
- Ventilation: are there windows that are/can be opened during for increased airflow.
- Identify How often it’s being cleaned and when the last tiem was
- Quantity of toilets/showers in an enclosed space and high/low traffic of people using such facilities
BATHROOMS
-
- Quantity of toilets/showers in an enclosed space and high/low traffic of people using such facilities
POOLS
-
- Generally safe so long as pools are properly maintained with chlorine.
- Chlorine kills bacteria and viruses.
- Keep at least 6 feet away from others in a pool.
- Extra precautionary: don’t submerge head underwater if you are unsure about proper chlorine maintenance and take a shower after visiting pool.
ICE
-
- Not recommended if you have to scoop your own ice from an icebox.
- If push button ice machine available, use disinfectant after touching button, clean base of bucket, and wash hands once home.
LAUNDRY ROOM
-
- Wear a mask when going indoors, wash/disinfect hands after handling money/coins, public facilities,
- Get fresh air during laundry washing/drying.
- If you paid for laundry services: place laundry bag with clean clothes on a towel or designated area in your boat that can be disinfected and wait (up to 3 days) to put laundry away or until we know exactly how long the virus survives on clothing.
CRUISERS LOUNGES
-
- Wear a mask, social distance, airflow?, and try to limit quantity of time spent in an enclosed area of its being shared with others.
7) FUEL DOCK OPERATIONS
- Fuel docks should maintain social distancing while in phase one of the reopening guidance.
- Fuel dock operations will require a payment process that limits interaction.
- Some marinas have implemented a pay-by-phone policy to limit close interaction.
- Some marinas have implemented self-serve fueling with supervision from the ship store or fuel dock office.
- In full serve operations, employees should remain socially distant from customers, use appropriate PPE, and wash hands or use hand sanitizer at the end of each transaction.
- A similar procedure may be implemented for pump out operations
8) BOAT SERVICES
- These are some guidelines to follow when performing boat service.
- Technicians can work solo on a unit without the customer or others nearby.
- If a technician needs physical help completing a task, other dealership team members can wear disposable gloves and N95 face masks to protect both employees.
- All work spaces should be cleaned and disinfected before and after an employee performs service.
- Technicians should use their own bins or carts to move parts and tools to and from the boat.
- If an employee is finished using a cart, then it and any tools used should be disinfected.
- Communicate with the customer using technology rather than in-person conversations—i.e.,
- Emails
- SMS, TXT, MMS messages
- Phone calls
- VHF Working Channel
- Video voice or messaging apps such as
- Whataspp
- LINE
- Skype
- Zoom
- Messenger
- FaceTime
9) DELIVERIES OF PROVISIONS / PROPANE / PARTS / PACKAGES
- Have delivery placed outside your boat or in a designated area of your boat.
- If someone is assisting you with placing something inside your boat like batteries, be sure they take off their shoes, wear a mask, and offer disinfectant hand gel before entering.
- Leave packaging such as cardboard boxes outside your boat
- Wash hands with soap/water immediately after handling outside packages, parts, propane.
Extra precautionary measures: use disinfectant wipes to clean outside surfaces before bringing them back onto your boat; i.e. plastic food packages, parts, tools. Wash fruits and veggies before storing them on your boat.
10) FRIENDLY FELLOW PANAMA POSSE OR OTHER BOATERS ON THE DOCKS OR ON THEIR VESSELS
Assisting vessels at the dock. Good to VHF radio whether or not you want help on the Marina VHF or local net channel
Wear a mask when approaching the dock or helping a vessel dock
Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water right after handling lines. If you want to be extra precautionary you can wash the lines/cleat (anyplace someone else touched your boat) with soapy water or a bleach solution and remember the virus can only live on outside surfaces for so long:
- 72 hours on plastics
- 48 hours on stainless steel
- 24 hours on cardboard
- 4 hours on copper.
Have a sip or rum once the vessel is made fast to celebrate life

2021-12-27 UPDATE
Guatemala has published update to entry guidelines by land and sea. Effective January 3. Must be fully vaccinated 14 days before entry. Under 12 exempt. Antigen or PCR no more than 72 hrs prior to entry checkpoint. Under 10 exempt. Notice posted by Guatemalan Tourism Board and Ministry of Health Hope this is helpful to others.
GUATEMALA – OPEN Guatemala has updated their official government entry requirements to now allow tourists to enter restriction-free if they can present evidence that they have received 2 full doses.The last dose must have been administered no less than 2 weeks prior to the date of travel.
-
Here is what is required and the alternatives.To enter Guatemala by boat you need a PCR test that was taken within 72 hours of the time that you departed your last port. They will assume that you have remained on board since that departure and have therefore not been exposed since the test was taken. Your Zarpe will establish the date of departure so the PCR must be no mre than 72 hours before the date of the Zarpe. In the case of those comeing from the US where Zarpe’s are not reoutinly provided, you should either get some varification from the Coast Guard or other source validating your date and time of departure.For those who arrive in Livingston without a PCR test, you have two options. You can take a PCR test in Livingston or you can agree to 15 days quarantine.
We are making inquiries to clarify that question but for now everyone should proceed with the understanding that only a PCR is acceptable.
As you approach Livingston you can notify authorities that you are heading for Nana Juana Marina which is a government approved Marina during Covid
Guatemala has updated their official government entry requirements to now allow tourists to enter restriction-free if they can present evidence that they have received 2 full doses.
The last dose must have been administered no less than 2 weeks prior to the date of travel.

Dec 12 2020
Here is the arrival protocol for boats coming to Bahia del Sol: You must arrive with a negative COVID-19 PCR-RT test within 72 hours of receiving the results. From some ports it will be impossible to comply but, from Chiapas and Puesta del Sol, Nicaguara you can do it within the time limit. It will take strong organizational skills to receive the test and check out in order to make it to Bahia in time.
Normal passage time from Chiapas is 42 hours and Puesta del Sol about 26 hours. We are sure the harbormasters in Marina Chiapas and Puesta del Sol will work with you.
As always contact us before arriving, so we can send other important arrival information.
If you have any questions or concerns we would rather you contact us by PM or email (elsalvadorrally@aol.com).

COSTA RICA ENTRY UPDATES
As of August 1, 2021, all tourists under 18 years of age can enter the country without a travel policy.
As of August 1, 2021, all tourists who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and inoculated with Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson can enter the country without a travel policy. The last dose of the vaccine must have been applied at least 14 days before arrival in Costa Rica.
Vaccinated tourists must attach the vaccination certificate to the Health Pass. As proof, vaccination certificates and vaccination cards that contain at least the following information will be accepted:
1. Name of the person who received the vaccine
2. Date of each dose
3. Pharmaceutical house
In the case of U.S. travelers, the “COVID-19 vaccination record card” will be accepted.
https://www.visitcostarica.com/…/pla…/entry-requirements
Tourists not vaccinated, with incomplete vaccination or vaccinated with a serum other than those admitted by the Costa Rican authorities, must purchase mandatory travel insurance that covers lodging in case of quarantine and medical expenses due to COVID-19 disease as detailed below.
- COSTA RICA – OPEN REQUIRED INSURANCE1)We just used this company to clear in last week and our fee was 145 for the two of us. I have a direct contact named Lynette Rempel
who said she will be happy to be the liaison for the Posse. She’s awesome. Her email is
lynette@globalhealthinsurance.comAlternately the coverage through our clearing agent would have cost us 245 per person. Quite the savings!2) Costa Rica Health Insurance. I have learned that I can spend anywhere from $140 to more than $1800 for a 90 days period. Bottom line is that one can buy insurance from Trawick International at a much reduced price. Here is a summary of what I have learned and experienced.
– Costa Rica requires medical insurance (including $2k of ‘housing’ costs) for visitors.
– Official Costa Rican Companies: From: https://costa-rica-guide.com/practical/tips/required-travel-insurance/ Anyone can use the two official Costa Rican insurance companies but they tend to be quite expensive. National Insurance Institute (INS) or Sagicor. During my first 90 days in Costa Rica, I received quotes of over $1800 (Sagicor) and $431 (Seguro). (I am over 70.). Of course, I chose the Seguro option. (Seguro has two options; the lower cost option meets the requirements.) 2020-10-26The Minister of Tourism, Gustavo Segura, indicated that the measure will take effect on October 26, shortly before Costa Rica opens its air borders for all countries in the world on November 1.The country began a gradual opening of air borders in August after the total closure of borders in March, when the first cases of the coronavirus were detected.“As of Monday, October 26, Costa Rica eliminates the requirement of a negative PCR test for both foreign tourists and Costa Ricans,” Segura said at a press conference.The minister called on tourism companies to be “very careful” in the application of the protocols to contain the spread of Covid-19.“The sustainability of this measure depends a lot on the evolution of the pandemic,” Segura said.The Central American country will maintain its requirement that visitors purchase health insurance to cover medical care and unexpected lodging expenses due to the pandemic.“These measures help to recover jobs, which is so important throughout the country, but especially on the coasts,” Segura said. The coastal regions have been hard-hit by unemployment, which nationally has surpassed 23%.Segura cited an October 9 publication from the World Health Organization (WHO) that deemed unnecessary the requiring of Covid-19 testing for international travel.Costa Rica, which has received more than 3 million tourists annually in recent years, expects at least half a million visitors in the high season that runs from mid-November to March.Tourism is one of the engines of the Costa Rican economy, which contributes around 10% of GDP and generated 600,000 direct and indirect jobs before the pandemic.Requirements to enter Costa Rica
As of November 1, Costa Rica will re-open its air border to all countries in the world as long as travelers meet visa requirements (if applicable) as well as the requirements established in the framework of the pandemic.Until November 1, only visitors from authorized countries and states are permitted. Visitors from the U.S. must show — via a driver’s license or State ID — that they live in an authorized state.

Nov 2021
Belize has officially reopened its maritime borders for yachting tourism. The authorized maritime ports of entry will be San Pedro, Belize City and Placencia.
The reopening has been approved under the following conditions:
A licensed shipping agent is required for the vessel to enter; only shipping agents with special licenses are authorized to deal with these non-commercial vessels and are authorized to charge a set tariff of no more than $150 for their service
Notice to enter must be made at least 72 hours prior to arrival
The yacht’s crew and passengers must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test upon entry. Both PCR (taken within 72 hours of arrival) and rapid antigen (taken within 48 hours of arrival) tests are accepted.
The Belize Port Authority, the regulatory agency for Belize’s maritime borders, said in an announcement that it’s confident that yachting tourism can be carried out safely by following approved local and international health guidelines along with established boarding procedures and protocols.
Yachting tourism in Belize is a niche market with tremendous potential for further growth, the Belize Tourism Board said. COVID-19 has caused many families to rethink travel and yachting tourism allows for families to vacation safely within a “bubble.” Belize’s pristine waters and tropical climate offer the ideal setting for yachting vacations where visitors can enjoy fishing, snorkeling, diving and many other attractions safely.
Any traveler is permitted to visit Belize at this time. All travelers, however, must download the Belize Health App and input the required information no more than 72 hours prior to landing in Belize. Additional requirements are enforced for those traveling by air and staying on land.

Report on arrival in s Cuba last couple of days. Clipped from fb.
“Here an entry on Bonaire Cruisers FB Group, which was posted by the German sail boat Annamare, which a few days ago arrived in Cienfuegos.”
“Report from SY Annamera
Important up-to-date information from ANNAMERA-crew Peter and Anett on Cuba: very bad food supply! Bring in as much food, especially fresh fruit and vegetables as possible. No inspections made in Cienfuegos. We brought nothing fresh, like fruit or cheese; big mistake! It is hardly possible to buy any food because of disastrous supply situation and/or the need for a „tarjeta“. Cost of entry 55 USD, Visa: 75 US pp and PCR-test: 30 USD pp! Berth in marinas: ca. 0,70 USct/foot! Friendly and uncomplicated welcome, but quite a lot of paperwork. PCR-test-result can last. Be patient and happy altogether. Good trip. We will spend Christmas on Cayo Largo and return to Cienfuegos aroung New Years Eve.
Merry Christmas, Peter and Anett”

While Oct. 15 is still set for the reopening of the tourism sector in the Bahamas, visitors who enter in October must still quarantine 14 days. Beginning Nov. 1, the quarantine will be lifted, the government announced yesterday.
The new protocols will require visitors, and returning citizens and residents to obtain a RT-PCR (swab) test no more than seven days prior to arrival, submit to a rapid antigen test upon arrival, and again four days after arrival.
Once the RT-PCR test comes back negative, all travelers are required to apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa at travel.gov.bs (click on the International Tab) where the required test must be uploaded.
Ports of entry can make test arrangements for yacht crew and guests, the government said.
All islands in the Bahamas require the wearing of masks and appropriate social distancing in public places.
For Immediate Release
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE BAHAMAS INTRODUCES NEW TRAVEL AND TESTING PROTOCOLS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE THE NEED TO QUARANTINE
NASSAU, Bahamas, 1st October 2020 – The Islands of The Bahamas remains committed to welcoming visitors to its shores and providing an exceptional tropical vacation coupled with our world famous warm and friendly hospitality, while, responsibly enforcing public health and safety measures to protect residents and visitors alike.
While 15th October is still set for the reopening of the tourism sector, until 31th October all incoming visitors must “Vacation in Place” for 14 days or the duration of stay, whichever is shorter, which means limiting the vacation experience to the grounds and amenities of a traveler’s hotel or accommodations. Beginning 1st November, The Bahamas will remove the mandatory “Vacation in Place” requirement for all visitors, returning citizens and residents thereby, enabling everyone to move about and explore the destination beyond the confines of their hotel or other accommodations.
The new protocols will require visitors, and returning citizens and residents to obtain a RT-PCR (swab) test no more than seven (7) days prior to their travel to The Bahamas.
In addition, and to ensure that travelers remain COVID free, a rapid antigen test will be conducted upon arrival, and then again four days (96 hours) after arrival in The Bahamas.
Specifics are as follows:
Prior to Travel:
• COVID-19 RT-PCR Test: All persons traveling to The Bahamas must obtain a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR (swab) test taken no more than seven (7) days prior to the date of arrival. The name and address of the lab, where the test was performed, must be clearly displayed on the test result.
• Children under the age of ten (10) and pilots and crew of commercial airlines, who remain overnight in The Bahamas, are exempt from obtaining the RT-PCR test.
• Bahamas Health Travel Visa: Once in possession of a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test, all travelers will then be required to apply for a Bahamas Health Travel Visa at travel.gov.bs (click on the International Tab) where the required test must be uploaded.
The cost of the visa will depend on the length of stay.
Upon Arrival
Day of Arrival: Rapid Test – All persons entering The Bahamas, at an approved Port of
Entry, will receive a Rapid COVID-19 antigen test.
If arriving by air, an approved Port of Entry will be: Nassau, Freeport, Marsh Harbour,
North Eleuthera, Georgetown (Exuma), Bimini (and Cat Cay) and San Andros (Andros).
If arriving by sea, an approved Port of Entry will be: Nassau (Atlantis, Bay Street Marina,
Lyford Cay, and Albany); Grand Bahama (West End – Old Bahama Bay and Freeport –
Lucaya); Abaco (Marsh Harbour Government Dock); Eleuthera (Spanish Wells Marina);
Berry Islands (Chubb Cay Club); Bimini (Big Game Club and Cat Cay Club); Exuma
(Georgetown Government Dock).
American Airlines has indicated that, beginning in late October, they wish to provide
each passenger traveling to The Bahamas from Miami with a Rapid COVID-19 antigen
test before boarding the plane. These passengers, along with the passengers of any
other airlines wishing to provide a similar service, will not be required to complete the
Rapid Test upon arrival in The Bahamas.
After Arrival
• Day Five (96 hours after arrival): Rapid Test – All persons who entered The Bahamas,
and who are staying longer than four nights and five days, will be required to take a
second Rapid COVID-19 antigen test. To be clear, all visitors departing on Day Five will
not be required to obtain this test.
The cost of the rapid tests on and after arrival will be included in the cost of the visa.
The rapid tests are easy, quick and will yield results in 20 minutes or less with results being
provided electronically.
Many hotel properties will provide relevant information on testing arrangements, while others
will facilitate the required rapid test for their guests.
All persons on yachts and other pleasure craft will be able to make arrangements for their
required rapid tests at the port of entry or via the relevant website.
All other visitors, returning residents and citizens will be able to make arrangements for their
required rapid tests at the port of entry or via the relevant website.
The On Island Experience:
All islands in The Bahamas require the wearing of masks and appropriate social distancing in
public places.
The Bahamas has remained diligent in its efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19
throughout the islands, and these measures are imperative to ensure that remains the case.
The health and wellbeing of both residents and visitors remain the number one priority of our
public health officials. It is important to note, however, that due to fluidity of the COVID-19
situation, both in The Bahamas and worldwide, protocols are subject to change.

ALL vaccinated visotrs can now avoid the rapid-test at entry to the BVI and the associated $50pp cost by having a 2-day Neg nasal PCR or Rapid Antigen test.
Unvaccinated children 17 and younger enter the BVI with the same status as the parents. If the parents have a 1 or 2-day test, then neither they nor the kids need to be tested upon entry. However, 3, 4, or 5 day test requires that everyone be tested upon arrival ($50pp and 20mins to get results).
All visitors must bring with them a copy of their vaccination record, 2 or 5-day test for BVI entry, proof of health insurance coverage for Int’l travel. 3 pages
Visitors who have only the 5-day test (not the 2 day) landing in STT before 2pm should complete this BVI personal datalink for testing at West end, westend.bvi.care/
Prior to returning to the USVI from the BVI, guests must individually get a Neg test within 3 days of the return and then complete the USVI entry portal a 2nd time.
We recommend the $40 BinaxNowAG tele-med test kits be brought with you (and even a spare just in case) as most tests administered in the BVI run about $125pp-$150pp.

The President of DR, Luis Abinader suspends all restrictive measures for COVID-19, including mandatory use of the mask

President Luis Abinader announced this Wednesday night the suspension of all the restrictive measures imposed by COVID-19.
The president made the decision one year after the start of the National Vaccination Plan, a time he described as "a great collective victory."
With 5,844,147 citizens vaccinated with at least two doses of the vaccine against respiratory disease, 2,528 active cases, positivity in the last four weeks at 10.24%, lethality at 0.76% and a considerable decrease in hospital occupancy, these are the measures that from now on will no longer be implemented:
* Mandatory use of the mask.
* Presentation of the vaccination card to access public and private spaces.
* Restrictions in public spaces.
“After this long battle, we started to get our freedom back. From now on, we will all have to take care of ourselves, responsibly, but without restrictions, ”he indicated.
With the announcement of the president, the responsibility of taking care of COVID-19 acquires an individual character.
“The government did what it had to do to protect our people and time has proven us right in our actions against the pandemic,” he added.
In his speech this Wednesday, Abinader thanked the medical personnel who, since the arrival of the pandemic, have provided their services without ceasing to guarantee the health of Dominicans.
Thanks 🙏
