A view of the mainland coast of Panama as we sailed between the resort and the coast.
When negotiating the reefs and coral heads, a good vantage point in good light is important. We have a remote control that allows us to steer Gilana from up here too.
An Ulu with a sail made from some advertising banner.
Classic tropical island pictures.

Another one.
Laura and I went out trolling for fish one evening. We caught nothing.
The above three taken while fishing that evening.
