Our sailing excursion was simply amazing; we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tour the San Blas islands with a great captain & fellow sailing mates aboard the 'Gypsy Moth'. Likely the best way to showcase these fabulous few days is with a photo montage - hopefully they do the trip justice!
Our British captain, Sym, dropping anchor at the first island stopoff - the turquoise water was incredible!
At one of the islands we snorkeled around an old shipwreck covered in coral and swarming with colourful fish

Gypsy Moth
Some of the boat crew taking the dingy to a nearby island where there was a little thatch-hut bar and stunning sunset
Snorkelling all day, every day :) Such beautiful reef and so many fish; I even saw a shark...!
Lunch!! Caught fresh and boated over to us by some local Kuna fishermen in their little wooden canoe. All of our meals were amazing; Sym was a great cook
The tarzan swing provided hours of entertainment - here's Jody taking a leap!
Make-shift wakeboarding with a paddle board pulled behind the dingy
Some other fun included a beach bonfire on one of the islands, an impromtu 80's dance party on the boat & night swimming in the luminescent water.
From the San Blas islands we spent about 36 hours at sea before arriving for sunrise in Cartagena, Colombia. We were both pretty seasick unfortunately but that didn't hinder our experience as a whole.
We would recommend a trip to the San Blas islands to anyone; it's been one of the highlights of our trip so far and set our standards pretty high in terms of snorkelling, beaches and scenery.
you look pretty good in a snorkle and mask, might I say! I may have some predjudice .
