The jeep departs Panama city at 5:30 am - destined for Carti - a small launch site where engine driven canos serves the many islands which make up the San Blas.
Nepenthe, the ship I am to board lies 30 min from Carti - next to the island hosting the pasport office and a small runway.
The passanges I'll be sharing the next five days with are a british couple, two danish boys, Alex from Oregon, Luke the captain, his girlfriend Sara and their cat. We are maxed out with 8 people onboard, but fortunately the waters are warm and inviting and the first day is spent snorkeling aroung a ship wreck off Dog Island.
The sky is black and moonless at night. Swimming in the dark water is much different from the day, as the warm water embraces and comforts while fluorecent alegre shoots green sparks from the hands with every stroke.
I sleep on a cot, under deck in the common space. Not a wind moves tonight.
