Day 795- 801 South American Cruise Day 1-6


2 years since the start of our new adventure-It was high time to give The Hut a timeout. Sailed through the Panama Canal , now heading south for some well-deserved R and R. It’s tough being retired, dont recommend it. Panama City is full of stunning architecture, great people, awesome culture and outstanding ceviche.  Enjoying the adventure!
