Good trip, hooked a marlin just off the south coast of panama, good size (think it was a stripie) spooled the reel in a min flat and couldn’t do anything to stop it. Bugger! Followed it up with a nice size dorado that night so all was not lost.
Arrived in Panama city on the fringe of the most impressive electrical storm of the trip to date. After a 2 day sail from Cocos. Went ashore for a day to feel what it was like again to be in a city and was over it after about 3 hrs.
Panama itself is a city with a long history of occupations and troops, the Americans being a major part in this as a stronghold for their pacific fleet. Overall a city of incredible wealth alongside widespread poverty with ghettos extending from close to the marina all the way to town.
