YACHT ULTRA FUN UPDATE: COLOMBIA, PANAMA AND MORE

My title page contents
YACHT ULTRA:
 THE YEAR IN REVIEW:
BEGINNING MARCH 2016
PART 1 OF SEVERAL FUN UPDATES

Wowie!  It is hard to believe it has been so long since we have updated our blog.  It sounds like such an easy task.  :  )  Well, yes and no..... We love to do it, and since we want it to be perfect, it sometimes takes longer.  Lots of fun photos to share for sure.   : )  

The most important part of doing our blog is that we must have good internet...really good internet.  Since we like to be off of the grid most of the time, it is not easy to have both, good internet and remote places.  :  ) 

We absolutely love to share our adventures with all of you and sincerely appreciate you following our adventures through our Facebook Posts, our blog, our magazine articles and through our fun YACHTULTRA1 You Tube Channel.  :  )   

 We have been bouncing back and forth across Panama and took an adventurous sail to Colombia, we sailed San Blas and spent precious time with our Kuna Yala indian families, a number of festivals, made sails for Kuna chief, repaired Kuna canoes, our 16th wedding anniversary, ULTRA was struck by lightning, and more, We are now hauled out in the shipyard at Shelter Bay Marina and are sanding, grinding, filling, and fairing, and then painting to get ULTRA beautiful again. :)

We hope you enjoy Part 1 of several updates coming up in the near future.  They will consist of lots of photos of our adventures.  

Enjoy and we thank you all for your sweet messages and for all of your prayers for us while we are chasing our sailing dreams!

Cheers and Big Hugs to all of you!
