Impressions of San Blas

The pool

the pretty bar on the south side of Banedup
a Kuna with sailing by
Karin, Eric, the Dutch couple we had met again, Norbert and on the right Moni
kids feeding at the beach with pizza from Ibin
I just like the colourful still life
Ibin’s bar at night
my beginnings of the making of chaps
here some fitting at the beach
Debbie had invited the Dutchies, Mark and us for dinner
that was Karin’s birthday party on BBQ island, we had a big potluck
a birthday jump, Eric, Lotti, Oskar, Karin, Till and El capitano
Doghan on the left and a another sailor, just can’t remember his name
birthday potluck
almost done with the chaps
the volleyball net was broken , so I took it and sewed back together, Norbert had to hold it
the net reinstalled – ready for use
a bon fire on the south side of Banedup – a last evening for a few boats
fairy tail pics from the night taken by Oskar
it doesn’t look real , does it? but it was !!!
a typical rainy season sky
a dinner at Ibins with Debbie
Ayla, Ilka and me
teaching the kids (and parents) how to play, on the left Ayla, Aydin and Doghan, Carmen, Camille and May on the other side
only a few players left
just another pretty sunset
a walk at the beach
sometimes we could even see the mainland
I found a blooming flower on Banedup !!! I have no idea what kind of flower that is
El Capitano was fishing one day with Aydin and Doghan – they brought a few of these crabs, they tasted very nice

Our visitors Kellianne and Ty

Kellianne and Ty arriving with a lancha from Cartí
we had just arrived at the pool and went ashore for a stroll around Banedup
Ty, Kellianne and my big nose
already at the south side
the little hermit crabs seemed to like living in the old palm tree stump
Coco the dog joined us
Kellianne was investigating the little hermits
after the loooong stroll we deserved a cold beverage
this cute puppy caught our attention, such a sweet little guy
4th of July at Debbies, potluck on Runner, Mark had taken the pic
very American food
Runner’s bar times
more puppies at Ibins
Venancio came buy to offer his very special molas, thankfully Kellianne was a good buyer
just a pretty pic
Ogoppiriadup
someone enjoying a pipa
breakfast coffee
“the office” at Green Island
more islands
Río Azúcar, the Kuna village
Kellianne buying more molas
meanwhile Ty was checking the meters outside
I can’t recall if he was satisfied or not
a last sunset at Waisaladup
Kellianne enjoying the sail
and then they were already picked up again- bye, bye

Last days at the pool

another last day – half of the French crowd left the next day
birthday presents for little Julia who turned 5 -I made her a little monkey and Banana pirate and banana dolphins
and of course pizza for the birthday kid and friends
Ibin made a coco cake
water table
and that reminds of good old cowboy days leaving their horses in front of of a saloon – nowadays we leave our dinghies
Lukasc a little exhausted after volleybeer
this poor fellow jumped on our stern – he was already dead when we found it
sewing day on Altimate – Janis was very much into sewing
he wanted to make a little fish
fish and little monkey united
