    If you've been following along you know we hustled down to Panama to get out of the Hurricane Box. After nearly 20 days crammed in the boat with our 2 Patreon crew members (Justin and Dale) we're ready to explore land.
    Bocas Town is a unique little island full of tourist hustle and laid back island time. It's like a contradiction around every corner...which makes it loads of fun to wander around.
    Thanks for being a part of our adventure!
    Jason, Nikki, Cleo and Singa

    Thank You, Thank You!! I am a 76 year old land lubber from Western Washington.
    Never, never, in all of my days would I be able to travel as You. I have a large screen
    computer monitor that allows me to engulf myself into Your adventures.
    I watch each episode several times.
    Thank you, Thank You!!

    Out of all the travailing and sailing channels on RUclips I think the Gone with the wynns is the best I have watched your channel from the beginning and one of the best story’s I have ever watched and you guys are very inspirational started playing the ukulele and saveing up too travel too To a smaller island one day !

    Loved this episode! I used to live in Panama for about 3 years when we were stationed at the American military base. It no longer exists but I have some very fond memories of Panama. Try to get into the rainforest also. You'll see some amazing wildlife. (Bring mosquito repellent.) If you're lucky, you'll get to see sloths. We would always find them hanging from our water pipes in the carport. Enjoy Panama!

    Thanks to all for your concern - just want to let everyone know that we're perfectly fine. Curiosity and crew are well south of all the hurricane activity, and the tsunami warnings were for the Pacific coast of Panama (not the Atlantic where we are). Our thoughts are with everyone who is and will be impacted by Irma, and for the poor residents of the Leeward Islands who are going to be hit *again* this weekend by Hurricane Jose. Thoughts and prayers going out for everyone's safety.

      We dont wear those type PFDs- uncomfortable. You can buy the type water skiers wear, are like an actual vest and are really nice looking👍. The water around Florida's east side can have zero visibility sometimes. Asians (chinese) own most stores on Oahu too.

    I watch because I like the feeling of your videos, you edit them well and use fitting music, you follow your curiosity with panache, and, between the two of you, are 100% attractive (80/20? 70/30?). You clearly consider yourself lucky and blessed, and your modest and cheerful attitude is attractive. I am amazed that you picked a crew whose personalities seems to mesh so perfectly with yours.
    Continue to enjoy and celebrate the phase of life you are in, as you move forward to whatever you find, or whatever comes, next.

    • @roadrashray9416
      @roadrashray9416 7 лет назад

      Devin- Saw those tanks mounted on the stern of the boat. Assume they came with the guest crew as their vlogs have shown them as being big time scuba divers. Haven't been used yet that I have noticed. Probably waiting for someplace where they can get air refills as there is no compressor on Discovery. I am guessing at all that of course and stand ready to be corrected if someone knows different. Ray

  • @rachelgoodman1121
    @rachelgoodman1121 7 лет назад +2

    Lovely video as always guys. This is random, but I would LOVE to see more videos about how you cook/eat in a day on the boat. The food Nikki makes always looks amazing, but I'm more curious as to how long the fruits and veggies last, what you eat when you're running low, etc.

  • @0HARE
    @0HARE 6 лет назад +1

    Thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed it.
    The underwater segments were psychedelic. So many extremely colorful and unusually shaped creatures. Reminded me of “Yellow Submarine”.
    The street life and shopping were so interesting. I feel I could Spanglish bargain in that culture.
    What a grand adventure you are on! Thanks for taking us along!

Nikki's red swimsuit looks great, but then you always look great. It's so much fun to follow your adventures...First video I saw was "Day In The Life". I was so inspired I bought an Rv and am now traveling around the USA and have visited some of the places you have been. I seriously doubt I'll ever have a boat though. You guys are so smart to have figured out your way of life as a career! It would be great to see and hear more from Dale and ???? (Sorry can't remember his name)!

    We were just in Bocas del Toro, maybe same time or just a little before you. We shipped our truck over to camp while we were there. As soon as you saw that sign for the brewery I started laughing. I seek out breweries too, and we drove by that at least 10 time and it was never open.

    So great to see Justin and Dale travel with you for the Panama leg.
    I had already watched them crew for another yacht negotiating the canal, I think it was the Swedes Johan and Malin on SV/RAN.
    I have already binged on Adventures of an Old Sea Dog and watched him journey through the canal in the process.
    They all seem like friends already including your South African buddy even though I will probably never meet them!
    I thought I had never seen Justin move faster than when you entered the brewery but Dale was in the lead and that made me laugh.
    A really great Vlog guys, thanks!

Also wanted to point at the mangosteen fruit you miss to show at the vegetables and fruits store (unique sweet taste). Thank you for all your detailed footages.

    I know this is probably from a few days ago but, the cabs in town are communal. Just wave one down and it's $1 per person. Our Friend Kim Stratten lives near the gas station. She has the 3 story pink condo. I realize it's a long shot but, if you meet tell her Frank and Steph say hello. Boca's is a little tough. It's really beautiful but the litter is out of control.. It's sad. Red Frog Beach is great.! Have fun and enjoy yourselves!
