Balboa Yacht Club

 The Bridge of the Americas viewed from Talaria in Balboa Yacht Club (BYC). We spent almost a month there on a mooring. Now after El Salvador I interrogate the manager regarding the mooring weight and maintenance. Our mooring was 2 train wheels with 1/2 inch chain, inspected annually. Ok, I was satisfied with that. It was an exciting place to be with huge ships passing alongside the mooring field day and night and sunsets behind the Bridge of the Americas.
