4th March 2013 – Colon, Panama,

In colon we stayed at a Marina called Shelter Bay opposite the actual city and only ventured into the main town once to be bombarded with undesirable people. Here we fareweled our backpackers and sadly Javier who had spent the last 4 months onboard. We also had the boat measured by the Panama Canal officials and got ready to cross the famous Panama Canal and enter the Pacific Ocean.
