Off to Cayos de Albuquerque!

Time to go! Weather permitting we'll be sailing out of Bocas del Toro here in Panama to a very remote little spot. How remote? Check out this satellite photo:
Albuquerque Cays

Yep, most of Albuquerque Cays is simply underwater reef with just 2 tiny little dots of land currently occupied/claimed by Colombia. These dots are out in the middle of the big ocean 175 km/110 miles from the mainland coast of Nicaragua! It will be an overnight passage for us which will be tough, but at least there is somplace to stop and rest before continuing on up to the next stop which is the island of San Andres.

So, today I had the manicurist gal pain a Panamanian flag on my big toe - goodbye Panama.

No wonder you stayed over. Those reefs look treacherous. My prayers are with you. Renate
