It took 3 months of tedious county hospital visits (many of which were screwed up and they didn’t seem to have any idea why the patient was even being seen) to get to a point where one doctor said. You must have a biopsy or we cannot do anything for y…

Summer Trip – 2010 – Part 5

Wakodahatchee and Green Cay Wetlands

We took a walk through Green Cay Wetlands and as we were leaving we had the privilege of catching sight of these young bobcats. The wildlife was amazing. Just a few feet from our path, Bobcats, alligators, and birds of various species. Amazing!



Spring has sprung and love is in full bloom!

There are two wonderful state wetland parks hidden amongst the home developments in Boynton Beach, Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Green Cay Wetlands. We went for a short walk, just before sunset when many of the various birds fly in for the night. It’s a s…

Panama to Costa Rica


With repairs completed, spares and provisions stowed, we finally departed the La Playita anchorage outside of Panama City February 2nd to head north.  We first made another tour of the Las Perlas Islands because they were on the way. We anchored at Isla Contadora again because of internet availability, thoroughly cleaned the outside of Voyager from soot and ash accumulated in Panama City, and snorkeled Isla Chapera for the first time.  The water was clear, fish plentifull, but colder than we wer…
