Shelter Bay Marina, Colon, Panama

 Arrival at Shelter Bay Marina was so sweet. Tides are only 1 to 3 feet on this Atlantic side of the canal compared to 16 feet on the Pacific side. The water is calm and you can see our view of the palm trees and mangroves from the cockpit. We are happy to be here even if Rick is working on deck under big storm clouds.
