Here’s a fun clip of photos and video made by Alex, a recent guest who hails from New York City. Many thanks Alex for sharing! 😉
No more Amazon Payments… :(
Just when Amazon’s new payment service was starting to catch on for us, they decide to cut us off. They recently updated their policies to prohibit services that dealt with “travel-related” or “tour operator” services. Somehow, we fall into that category, so we got put on the DENIED list. 🙁
Paypal still works fine for most people. I’ll continue to seek out efficient and competitive payment services for our sailing trips. Thanks for everyone’s understanding and sorry for any inconvenience because of this development.
The 2009 Muchas Gracias List!
In keeping with my annual thanksgiving tradition, I’m happy to present my 5th annual Muchas Gracias List. This is where I take a moment to thank all the people who’ve been good to me and/or Andiamo the past year. I always find myself lucky enough to have friends who support me or help in such exceptional ways that I never think I can thank them enough. This is just another way of trying to put that sentiment to rest…
So on to the list! As always, in no particular order… (more…)
” …sailing into danger…. “
The trip to Cartagena thus far had been fairly painless, but staggeringly long. The winds, which had cooperated fairly well through the first night, became adverse. It also didn’t help that we were sailing head-on into a current that had to be pushing against Andiamo at the rate of 3-4 knots. Considering a usual trip from Panama to Cartagena takes about 30 to 35 hours on average, it was clear that we weren’t going to be making it in anywhere near that time.

Be Afraid. Be VERY Afraid…
The dreaded Babyhead... don't gaze into its beady eyes!
Despite the rather rocky beginning for the last trip, things appeared to be blissful and happy aboard Andiamo. The sun was shining, the dreadful rain that had been pounding San Blas for several previous days had finally ceded. All the guests were surprisingly upbeat and ready for their sailing adventure despite their late arrival to Andiamo due to endless problems with their 4×4 ride over. (more…)
Nice Blog Post about Andiamo…
Edin Hamzic, a recent Andiamo “Alumni” posted this great post on his travel blog about Andiamo. It’s a nice read, if I do say so myself 🙂 …
At long last! The clip of the BIG SHOW featuring Andiamo!
Yes, at long last! Sorry it took me so long to get it up on the site. My little Mexico jaunt (post coming up next) was a bit of an interruption. Then, I had a trip right after I got back, so that dragged things on a few more days. But nevermind all that, the wait is over! Click and enjoy, and please let me know what you think!
