45m luxury ketch-rigged sailing superyacht

February 12, 2007 | Author admin

9 FEBRUARY 2007.

POSITION: 10:18.7 N. 79:01.3 W – 60 MILES NORTH OF PANAMA
DISTANCE TRAVELLED: 60 MILES
WIND: 15 KNOTS FROM THE NORTH
WEATHER: MOSTLY SUNNY

NEWS:
TIMONEER departed the San Blas Islands of Panama today at 09:00. Destination: Grenada. Weather predictions are a good as can be expected for this time of year…North to East, 15 to 20 knots. We are on the Starboard tack sailing NW. After about 24 hours, we will take the port tack. The thinking behind this is to keep us well off of the Columbian coast, with it’s heavy winds and vessel traffic. Unfortunately, as we go farther North, the winds are expected to veer more easterly. Right on the nose.

On Wednesday, Timoneer visited a local school in Porviner, where we delivered school supplies for Global Yacht Aid. This was a huge success with the indigenes Kuna Indians. The village elders, civic leaders and police all turned out for the presentation. The school itself is a very modest, one room building, with an estimated 80 students between grades 1-6. There are five teachers attend the students. The teachers were extremely grateful, and gave us several very nice Molas in return. For the students it was a very welcome distraction from their studies. They were all very well behaved even though terribly excited.

Of course the fishing lines are out. We missed a very nice Mahi -Mahi, then caught a HUGE Marlin. It was a impressive fighter. Twice it was reeled up to the boat, and twice it ran off, taking most of the line on the reel with it. We finally got it along side and Jeff and Bevan released it with out any harm. It was just to much fish for us.

We have interesting photos of the school and of the fish, and they will appear on http://www.usemypics.com shortly after our arrival in Grenada.

Best regards,

Robert
