What do last season's participants have to say about the Panama Posse ?
¡°We absolutely loved the Panama Posse! We enjoyed having the latest
information on marinas, anchor spots, grocery shopping, laundry, and
country check-in or out. Very valuable. And even better was the
wonderful friendships made with lots of great people! Many thanks for
heading up a fantastic rally.¡±Debbie & Rob SV Annapurna
¡°I wanted to explore. See new places. Meet new people. Joining up with the Panama Posse helped make all that possible.
Releasing baby turtles in Zihuatenejo, surviving the Tehuantepec and
the Papagayos, an afternoon poolside at Gordie¡¯s and movie night at
Coconutz in Playa del Cocos¡.
The only thing better than anchoring at Ballena Bay Costa Rica after a
full and beautiful day running south along the coast? Doing it with a
small flotilla of fellow cruisers from the Panama Posse¡
The next day? A dinghy run up the estuary, with howler monkeys in
full throat, and a picnic on a sugar sand beach with palm trees leaning
out over the water, providing shade for the cold beer and snacks with
some of the coolest people on the water. That¡¯s the Panama Posse.
These are some of the memories I¡¯ll have for the rest of my life
thanks to the friends I made this past year in the Inaugural Panama
Posse run from Barra de Navidad Mexico to Vista Mar Marina in San Carlos
Panama.¡±

¡°Joining the Panama Posse was the best decision we made last year.
Not only did we meet great people traveling the same coastline but the
shared intel on anchorages and check-in procedures was invaluable!! We
would highly recommend it to anyone choosing to travel this route.¡±

¡°Participating in the Panama Posse was like being part of a family
and less like a typical rally. We met some of the most wonderful people
whom we will be life long friends. We gained information in real time
about both anchorages and weather that was invaluable. No cruise through
Mexico and Central America would be as complete without sailing it as
part of the Panama Posse.¡±

¡°Greetings my friends, Thought Janet and I would tell of our
experience with the Panama Posse. The 2018 Posse had 83 boats! We didn¡¯t
meet all boats but the boats we met and traveled with were very
appreciated as we entered uncharted waters in Central America. It¡¯s a
good feeling when you can stop by a boat or call on a radio looking for a
opinion on weather or ports of entry. Panama Posse ROCKS !!¡±

Being part of the Posse made the Central
American cruise better for me. There is a wealth of information, I
really liked the ?non structured approach. Move at your own speed. It
starts the end of November and finishes in June. Some great discounts
became available too. There are some parties mainly cause the areas want
to welcome you.?
As a single handed sailor it gave me community. I did go places that
would have been skipped for safety reasons. Others reports changed my
early assumptions.
In remote locations because of the Posse I knew other boats. More friends were made.
On tours I was able to join a group with made the time better.
Even with the end in June the unofficial Posse continues. I have helped three Posse boats transit the canal.
