    San Blas Sailboat

    February 13, 2023 in Panama ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Highlights:
    - The whole trip!!
    - Swimming from the boat to the first tiny island and sitting in the sea chatting to everyone
    - Swimming back from the first tiny island and seeing dolphins in the water with us (Serena spotted the fin first and thought it was a shark for a second!)
    - Swimming to a second island and walking around, chilling out, floating back to the boat in the current, and Josh swimming back to play volleyball
    - Playing games in the evening with the other people on board
    - Sleeping really well despite being on a rocky boat
    - Seeing our friends who were on a different boat that set off a day after us and meeting up on an island
    - Playing volleyball with everyone
    - Birthday party on a boat - we did salsa lessons, had birthday cake, party blowers, and 'karaoke' and stayed up until 1am - a lot of fun!
    - Snorkeling through crystal blue water and seeing loads of different fish in the corals
    - Not being sick on the choppy ocean crossing days
    - Going around the group and saying highlights and lowlights - felt like an Abbott family holiday! Made me feel grateful for how everyone got along and it was a really nice group, especially when there was 14 of us
    - Sailing into Colombia was an incredible feeling - we made it through Central America in one piece and we were so excited to be starting our South America adventure

    Lowlights:
    - Getting soaked on the speedboat on the way to the sailboat and ruining my freshly washed hair
    - Serena being hungover after the birthday party!

    Food and drinks:
    - Lobster and risotto dinner - best lobster ever
    - Coconut rum and pineapple juice
    - Birthday cake!
    - Excellent cooking by chef Oscar
