Family Adventure

Our time since leaving Hampton, and through the Caribbean, especially after we moved south and away from the boats in the rally, was lonely. We didn’t know anybody, and it wasn’t easy to meet anybody in this charter-boat Mecca: thousands of boats, many with families, but few with plans to live aboard more than a week.

In Panama, it’s different. Yachts here hold cruisers destined for somewhere else. In the tropics, that somewhere else is generally west because of favorable winds and currents. It becomes not uncommon to see many of the same people again and again. (pages 29-30)
