    Finding a boat dog

    February 27, 2020 in Panama ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    The morning started with a coffee while watching the sunrise. I could definitely get used to this. Then we picked up Wilson, a dog our captain has rescued out of the water on his way from Colombia to Panama the week before. He had left him on one of the islands to pick him up and bring him to his farm in Colombia on the return trip.
    So now, we are 10 people and a dog on the boat. After breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, we sailed to the next island. As the winds came straight from the front, we had to use the engine again which was a bit disappointing for us as we were really looking forward to sailing.
    We spent the day chilling on a small island, snorkeling and relaxing on the boat. Snorkeling was awesome: a beautiful reef with many colorful fish and we even saw a ray and a small shark.
    The captain also bought a giant red snapper from the local fishermen which we barbecued for dinner along with some spare ribs. At night, we also had a bonfire on the island before heading back to the boat to sleep.
