We survived the hike. In fact it was amazing. What Isabelle Allende are you reading? I didn’t get the book club email 🙁 xx

Hi Gerard

Wow.. I might put that on Facebook for people to follow us. How exciting! Yes we are paperless. Sort of. The plotter and with Navionics on iPad as back up. We still have various cruising guides some of which have charts of anchorages in. The Navionics charts on our Raymarine plotter are not always that accurate and can have us at anchor right in the middle of an island so it pays to keep a good lookout!

Hi Steve. We’re going through on Sunday 5th, probably in the afternoon, then anchoring overnight in Gatun Lake and continuing through on Monday. Apparently you can watch us going through on the canal websites. I’ll try to find out how and post details on Facebook xx

Good luck with Panama Canal

Have you still decided to navigate paperless?
