So this is what Paradise looks like

What a mess this place is! Absolutely untouched.

The sea claims some of the palms.

Sunset on the island.


This is a shot inside an abandon hut on the other side of the island.

We sailed from Colon to the San Blas Islands overnight and it was probably our most uncomfortable sail of the trip - 12 foot high seas, winds gusting over 50 kts. On top of that we travelled through one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world - into the Panama Canal. It was all made worthwhile once we arrived in daylight at the San Blas Islands. Here's our first view of perhaps the most idyllic anchorage found. The only way to get here is by private boat - no cruise ships, hotels, stores. Just the Kuna Indians who rule over paradise. We had dinner at this private home (hut) - lobster on the beach.
