What this video covers

The crew of the sailboat Wolfhound navigates the San Blas islands of Panama, seeking remote, uninhabited anchorages after finding populated areas near the coast dirty and overdeveloped.5:38 They anchor near Isla Tigra, where they trade a t-shirt and beer with a local Guna Yala fisherman for fresh lobster.6:50 Onboard maintenance tasks include repairing a leaking toilet fill connection by replacing a dirty O-ring and cleaning a clogged screen.8:17 The crew also experiments with mounting a 360-degree camera to a Mavic drone, noting that the added weight affects the drone's stability.11:44 The day concludes with the crew sailing their dinghy, which they treat as a small-scale sailing vessel, before preparing the lobster tails for dinner.16:10 The experience in these remote, clear-water islands improves the crew's overall impression of the San Blas region compared to the more populated coastal villages.15:39
