Nice view from the Terrace! 🙂 Click on the image to see more!

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! 🙂

Slight rate increase announcement…

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.

This is the new stuff…

Holes in the Foam…

Ok, so I know I’ve been saying for awhile now that I was planning on doing some serious writing. And needless to say, things have gotten in the way of that in recent times. Though I still am surprised at how much writing I’ve managed to get done despite it all. Now, in an effort to affirm my commitment to my latest vocation of becoming a desperate, hapless scribe, and to try to keep my other various projects and ventures from clouding my field of vision, I would like to introduce my newest blog ventur: “Holes in the Foam…” .

Hey! Check out my first non-Andiamo project! :)

Since handing the full-time reins of Andiamo to my hardy captain and crew, I of course have inherited much more time to try to take some of my kooky ideas from page to practice. Here’s the first hatchling… 🙂

Being rather avid poker players (sometimes a bit TOO avid), Mitzy, my poker-partner-in-crime (and trip manager!) and I came up with the idea of Panama Poker Guide. I realized that while Panama has a rapidly growing poker scene, there was no real way to let the rest of the world know that. In fact, unless you’re IN Panama, there is almost NO way of knowing what’s going on at the poker rooms, the games, tournaments, etc. So…. we decided to make a resource that the entire global-poker-playing-public can tap into. Isn’t that nice? (more…)

Ok, first the good news:

The Carti Road is reopened as of Sunday the 27th of March to tourist traffic. For awhile there, we thought it was never going to happen. And it could not have happened a moment too soon.

Now for some not so good news:

The Kuna Congreso (their tribal government) has decided that tourist traffic in and out of Carti needed to be more “controlled” and regulated more than it had been prior to the atrocious rains and mudslides that forced the road to be closed back in December 2010. (more…)

Capt. Phil has been experimenting with his cool new “Kitecam” lately for flight-worthiness. And lo and behold, here’s the first fruit of his labors! He shot a little “test flight” off Andiamo’s stern while at its mooring off Carti Yantupu. Check it out, and stay tuned for more awesome footage of Andiamo under sail via the Kitecam! 🙂
