After our vicious passage across the Caribbean we were pleased to arrive in the San Blas for some rest and recouperation.  We visited beautiful islands, met other cruisers at a weekly get together on BBQ island and had fun playing cricket.  But adventures are never far away…..first the foil on our foresail broke and the sail was jammed causing us some anxiety in amongst the shallow reefs of the San Blas.  Later we responded to a call for assistance from another yacht that was joining the rally for the transit through the Panama Canal.  They had lost steering and most of their equipment seemed to fail at the same time!  Poor guys!!

Just before leaving we were invited aboard Zig Zag by Richard Matthews, the founder of Oyster Marine.  We were surprised to meet him in such a remote location but delighted to be able to tell him how much we loved our Oyster 56, Miss Tippy.  The bubbly was good too!

Well its all covered in the short film below…just click and view…
