#17a San Blas to Isla Linton


On Sunday 7th February said farwell to the San Blas and set sail at 0700 for the 45nm trip to Isla Grande and then Isla Linton. The wind was mostly from the north at about 10kn but later increased to 15 – 18kn slightly W of N. We arrived at 1430 after a good sail in slight seas. We again anchored near Innforapenny who had come to Isla Linton hoping to get their alternator problems fixed.


Isla Grande and, to a lesser extent, Isla Linton is a weekend playground for the more affluent Panamanians. They tear up and down at very dangerous speeds with their jet skis. Often they come far too close to the anchored yachts. All the beaches are packed.
