We arrived at Linton Bay Marina on Friday 24 June, and spent a few days washing down the boat, hi-pressure washing the teak decks, general upkeep and Jenny did the bright work. A few days later this weather system came racing across from W Africa in very low latitudes to the extent that all yachts took precautions to ensure all yachts are well tied up in the marina just incase it developed into a Tropical Storm with a big surge. At it was we had almost no wind or surge but a lot of rain.

Nancy’s Restuarant for local food
Great pizza at the marina
Buses run past the marina to Porto Belo, the village a half hour away and then onto Colon an hour away.
Very colorful
We cleared into Panama, the Port Captain is located in the Marina grounds and does Customs and the Cruising Permit
We then used a taxi to go to Immigration at Porto Belo. The taxi charged $25 fir the ride both ways and waited whilst we did Immigration which took at least a half hour. Lots of copies of all documents were needed
Hey - marina and grounds look fun! Glad the storm wasn't windy. That pizza looks great but not as good as Meshugga grilled-pizza! :-) :-)
