These are the first of a series of pictures from my recent sailing trip in Panama. I feel blessed to have been able to experience a little slice of the Ocean Gybe adventure without having to do 20 straight days at sea or any passage greater than 90 miles. I've got total respect for what these guys are doing. Even in my easy going and leisure filled time on the "yacht", I could see how much work and effort it takes to keep things running smoothly.

Thanks, Hugh, for having me aboard.
