Will and Sandy,
First of all, I want to apologize for not writing sooner. It seems I have fallen into the Bocas Vortex and time has gotten away from me in ways I could not have imagined.
You sound like great people and I am really looking forward to seeing you in the Fall.  When I was […]

We are the newest buyers at “The Finca” and very excited by the prospect of moving there soon. The current plan (which is always subject to change) is to come down mid August and staying for 2 1/2 months. Will and I will be moving as soon as we can get thing organized here in […]

Well, it’s been a busy time the last few months with folks coming and going from the project - those visiting land they already purchased in our little Dolphin Bay neighbourhood, as well as those folks still looking for land for sale in Panama’s Caribbean playground, Bocas del Toro.
And a wonderful couple from the […]

 
Susan and John - sounds like you sold your place - is this true?  Are you headed to Bocas shortly?  I wasn’t sure which plan “Plan B” was  so didn’t know if I should be congratulating you on selling your place or  ????
I will be headed towards Bocas on March 9th if I can […]

It’s over two years now since I closed on an 8+ parcel of land that’s contiguous to the collective areas–on the Boca Toritos side of the spread. I own the meadow with the coconut palms over the water.
I am a pretty happy fella and I love my life, which entails working very hard building […]

Hello!
As they say there is a first for everything… For me everything means: owning a boat  and driving it , building in the Caribbean and on the water , having no other job and duty than enjoying life without the constrain of our western society and of course writing this blog.
We came down here almost two […]

Hey there folks…..Colleen has brought up something that John and I also wondered about….and in the interest of conservation of planet, parking (docking space),fees for same, maintainance costs, insurance costs, and even the initial outlay of funds to purchase a car/truck/van/and boat……a “communal” vehicle might be the way to go with regards to something to […]

Hello Susan and John and all,
 
I am so glad that Swanny set this blog up for us, so that we can share information.  Originally I thought that it would be a great way to share practical knowledge in terms of building materials, ideas, transportation etc.  And I hope it still will be.  But now I […]
