Last Run In the Pacific

As you are reading this post, Tulum-5 is heading out for her last transit in the Pacific Ocean, as we make the run from Vista Mar Marina up to Panama City.  We’re moving up to Panama City so we can start the physical process of going through the Panama Canal, which involves authorities coming onboard to measure and inspect the boat….then a few days later we’ll get a date set for actual transit of the Panama Canal.  We made it to this marina (Vista Mar) specifically to get some work done on our engine by a great team of mechanics, we’ll get more work done when we get to the other side of the canal.  Once we’ve made it to Panama City and I have more time this coming week, we’ll start writing more about our trip here, leaving Costa Rica and our time in northern Panama.
