I’m running a bit behind….

I was hoping to get some cool video and some other pieces up during my time in Panama City. But it has rapidly come to an end, and I hadn’t been able to get any of it updated! Andiamo’s gonna be busy for the next week or so, so I probably won’t get another opportunity [...]

They’re puttin’ us on the teevee…

The TV crew and Karen hard at work filming at Chichime
So while we’re in Panama City after finishing our latest trip last week, I get an email from a Kiwi/British TV crew that was on their way to shoot Panama for a Travel Channel UK show called “Julian and Camilla’s World Odyssey”.  The producer, Camilla [...]

Dolphins again?? Yawn….

Here’s a cool clip of one of the biggest dolphin sightings Andiamo’s EVER SEEN! Luckily, the battery was charged, the sun was all good, and I managed to get some great footage.

Well, between having this temporary downtime, and being locked out of my Pokerstars account (apparently, playing from Colombia poses a security risk, they claim to be sorting it out… ), I finally found some time to get the rest of my Andiamo site projects going! I know, I know… [...]

I got the engine rebuilding blues… Part FOUR!!??

The Andiamo's beloved Perkins Diesel, "post-rebuild"
That’s right, previously unbeknownst to me, there is another chapter to what I thought was a long finished saga. Since the apparent success of this engine rebuild between June and August of this year, we’ve completed 7 trips between here and Panama. The engine has run virtually flawlessly save for [...]
