Portobelo 11th March

After much debate we decided to head to Portobelo with the others today and wait for Sunchaser, Christine Anne and Honeymoon who were leaving the San Blas today so we could all head to Colon together.

The sail from Isla Linton to Portobelo was 8 miles so we were there just before lunch. We went ashore for an explore and to try and call the measurers at the canal to make an appointment to get measured - unfortunately you cant make appointments by phone anymore so we will have to wait until we arrive tomorrow. The town of Portobelo is quite run down but there are lots of forts to explore.

Back at the boat we had lunch and Jonny made some bread (using a packet mix). The resulting bread rolls were very yummy.

At 5pm we headed ashore to explore the fort on the north shore which was amazing - you could explore the upper and lower batteries. After exploring we had sundown drinks on the beach with everyone before heading back to the boat for an early night before an early start to Colon and all the canal fun and games start.
