San Blas to Colon

It was great to lift the anchor and sail off without using the motor, just like in the olden days… although a little scary as she preferred not to turn from the beach to open water…. good to practise anyway. We had a splendid sail, some of it inside the cays, so flat water and coconut islands all around. Also shipwrecks all around. Not very relaxing sailing through coral reefs. Again we had somewhat more than forecast, so we arrived before planned. There were probably only about fifty big ships anchored outside but they are so lit up, it looked like a city. We had a slight argument with a big red ship about where we should go once through the breakwater entrance, but he had a really loud horn, so after a respectable pause, we gybed and let him think he was the winner.
