Standby for plenty of pictures of clouds!
Sally and Simon left Scotland in 2015 on board Shimshal to begin a slow circumnavigation taking in various high latitude destinations. After 3 seasons in Greenland we sailed south to Lewisporte in northern Newfoundland. In 2019 we cruised the Canadian Maritimes. In 2022 & 23 we cruised via New England, Chesapeake, Florida, Cuba, Cayman, Providencia to Bocas del Toro. In late 2023 we transited the Panama Canal and in 2024 we sailed to French Polynesia via Galapagos.

Shore leave begins
Shimshal is now part put to bed in Red Frog Marina with just a few more jobs to do before we fly home on the 27th. We are taking some shore leave and are, tonight, in a motel in David having taken two water taxis and a four hour road trip crossing the spine on Panama to get here. Tomorrow we take a bus to Volcan where we rendezvous with a 4x4 to whisk us up to the Mt Totumas Coffee plantation and our treehouse in the cloud forest for 4 days. We hope to be spotting Bellbirds and Quetzals in pristine cloud forest while sipping the finest geisha coffee beans.
