The islands range from ones that are big enough to house several thousand Kuna Yala (local indigenous group), through to tiny islets that are little more than a few palm trees on a pile of white sand.
We spent 6 days sailing down the coast of Panama (the only way it is possible to travel to Colombia, unless you fly), swimming and snorkelling and fishing our way around hundreds of perfect islands.
Day one was a bit messy, bleurgh....big waves. After that my stomach got it's act together a little and stopped behaving like a big wuss. By Day 6 I was loving it! Sat myself on the very front of the boat to get the biggest possible wave action! There were quite often dolphins swimming along with us to play in the water disturbed by the boat, and flying-fish zooming about all over the place. It was pretty darn cool.
The Captain turned out to be nice too. The fine officers of Scotland Yard have stood down and directed their activities towards the gangs of field-mice currently causing havoc in the badlands of Norfolk.
