pie de limon

as the final days approached before leaving panama to argentina we had to completely finish our food supplies in order not to leave any for possible rottens during the two months the boat was to be alone (not that we had so much food left to begin with).... and as you can imagine in a boat we do not have all the kitchen utensils one would need to make pastries and all sorts of fancy food... so we have to be creative and use what we have :-) at the end, using the tools at hand and two left over lemons we created lunch, which was a healthy and really delicious lemon pie!!!

the result:

red frog marina

the end of october was approaching and we needed to fly to argentina soon; so we moved the boat from the anchorage in bocas town in isla colon to the beautiful red frog marina in isla bastimentos. this marina has exelent facilities and the most amazing beaches just minutes away walking or going by dinghy. this marina will be home to puerto seguro for the next couple of months while we fly to argentina and then to colombia for christmas.

cayo nancy

another beautiful cay in the bocas del toro area. while snorkeling and trying to catch dinner esteban spotted a big shark, he couldn't tell which one it was, but he was certainly on board of the dinghy in no time after seeing the scary animal.... and with no dinner. i think we had pasta that night. because this cay is just across carenero we went on a short dinghy ride to swim and enjoy the sights!!

isla carenero

isla carenero is a small island across isla colon. the pickled parrot has the best burgers and pineapple juice and the beach is surrounded by swamps but pretty nice. a great place to spend the day!
