As I write these words, I have less than a week before I fly down to Panama to begin another sailboat delivery, this time toward the mysterious palm fringed shores of the South Pacific Island known as Tahiti.
It's hard to believe that four years have passed since the last time I was in the beautiful, green, wonderfully crazy land that is Panama.
This next trip, I'll be making my way to Bocas Chicas, in the far west of the country on the Pacific side, where my home for the next four months waits; the Matrix 27, Arcturus. The Matrix 27 has been described as a faster, more modern version of the Flicka 20, a strong and capable boat, and very accommodating for a 27 footer.
Possible stops along the way to Tahiti include such destinations as the Cocos Islands, the Galapagos, Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, the Gambiers, and Raivavae. So many new islands await my shadow and I'm excited to return to Panama.
