Huub navigates the San Blas Islands, Panama, moving from the Lemon Keys to the more secluded Cayo Holandes.3:00 The route requires maneuvering through dense reef systems where shallow depths and coral heads demand constant visual navigation. Because the sun is often obscured by rain, identifying hazards becomes difficult, forcing reliance on Navionics on an iPad, though the host notes the app’s reliability varies in this region.7:12 Anchoring depths in the San Blas typically reach 30 feet, which is deeper than common East Caribbean anchorages.5:36 During the transit, the crew encounters strong currents reaching 3 knots near mangroves, which complicates dinghy travel.8:38 The trip includes stops at tourist-heavy islands like Chichime, where card payments are accepted, and more remote spots where fresh fish and octopus are purchased from locals for one to three dollars.2:35 The crew plans to install a mast-mounted camera to improve visibility for future reef navigation.7:25
