"You won’t know, if you don’t go."
Due to popular demand and many many requests, I have finally put up a map of San Blas and Andiamo’s sailing area. Sorry it took so long, but like I said before, I can be a little slow. 😛
It can be seen here or via our FAQ Section!
Comments and feedback are welcome!
Things have been going pretty smoothly with the Carti road situation since the DREADED ROAD CLOSURE that we experienced from last December through March due to both natural and insanely political forces. It’s a long story, and for the sake of my blood pressure, and to preserve public decency and decorum, I’m not going to get into the gritty details. 😛
But the game has been changed on us yet again regarding transportation. The Kuna Congreso has decided to regain the strict control it had over all transportation in and out of San Blas on the Carti road by requiring all tourists and drivers to go through their central transportation office in Panama City. Until now, we were able to utilize our preferred drivers to get our supplies and guests to and from Andiamo. While we are sure everything regarding the new system will be fine while some wrinkles are ironed out, I feel it’s our responsibility to disclose these changes and to clarify roles and responsibilities.
Our FAQ page has been updated with the new information, so check it out now.
Andiamo’s new captain Fabio just posted some cool pics on his blog. So Check them out here!
Many more to come! 🙂
Changing of the guard happening as we speak. Fabio, Andiamo’s newest co-captain, will be taking full command of the bridge. So let’s give him a warm welcome!
On the same note, here’s giving a hearty farewell to Phil Lambkin, who is sailing on to “bluer horizons” :). Cheers Phil, and all the best!
It finally happened, we finally scored a great pad that not only are not ashamed to show off, but can also offer to our guests and friends who need a place to stay in the city! 🙂
It’s an outstanding large apartment in the heart of El Cangrejo in a great building. So if you need to stay in the city for any reason, especially if you’re going to be doing a trip on Andiamo, then be sure to check it out! Oh, and Andiamo guests (and members of our Sailing Club on Facebook! 🙂 ) get an outstanding discount off our standard “AirBnb rate!
So if ya need a place to crash when you’re PC, do let us know! And if you know someone who does, let them know about us! Oh, and since our listing is new on AirBnb, we’d appreciate if you’d kindly surf by and give our listing a “like” or a “tweet” or whatever love you can, we sure do appreciate it! 🙂
Due to increasing costs for everything from food, fuel, transportation, and local taxes, we are needing to adjust our rates to keep up a bit. Being that this is the first and only rate increase we’ve done in more than a year. I’d say it’s probably overdue. 😛 It’s not much, amounting to less than 10% in most cases. The new rates will be effective on all bookings starting from July 15th (new rates can be seen here on our San Blas Page). We appreciate everyone’s understanding on this. Please know that the crew and I remain committed to keeping Andiamo as accessible as possible. So travelers of all budgets can enjoy the experience that we have to offer.
