BOAT LIFE DREAM Come True - San Blas Islands Panama | Harbors Unknown Ep.76

This week we are truly settling into boat life in the Central Holandes Cays of the San Blas Islands/Guna Yala. Upon first glance mere spits of land dot the water’s face but in reality there is an entire world waiting to be explored just below the surface. And so we spend our days exploring the protected lagoon and its reefs searching for conch, lobster, octopus, and fish and admiring its beauty. I can’t help but laugh at the irony of how we’ve reverted to hunter gatherers. But after so much time spent disconnected from nature it’s a joy to live in this simple way.

Since we haven’t had much practice we don’t find much outside of the inedible starfish and occasional conchs. Though, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to swim amongst the stars. In our quest to get to this point, many times it felt as if we were reaching for the stars, for something that we may not actually be able to achieve. But here in the Central Holandes we are finally laying amongst the stars, and living the life we have dreamt of for so long.

Finding our own conch feels like victory at this point and after a lesson in opening them from our new friend Tobias who lives on the nearby island, we were able to successfully open them without too much struggle. We added them to a conch chowder we made yesterday with a couple conchs we had traded onions for. It turned out delicious!

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin and Fabio Potenti, and our French Bulldog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.

We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world, exploring the beautiful waters of South Florida, the Florida Keys, Bahamas, the US East Coast, and Panama.
