My visa is up at the end of October and I need to leave the country (just me not the boat). For $30.00 I can take a bus to Costa Rica for a day, stamp out, and stamp back in. That will allow me the extra time to leave for Ecuador in December as planned.
One can stay indefinitely in Panama like this, but all these countries are different. In Ecuador you can only have 6 months in a calendar year, same as Colombia. The up-side is there is always someone you can pay-off to get around things, corruption can be quite handy.
I’m getting my main back today, and it’s likely I’m taking another charter in the Las Perlas. I’ll most likely be sailing there by Tuesday.
Well, I’m off to run around town. I need to go to the hardware store, the boat store, drop off laundry, and do some provisioning.
Hope everyone is well.
Peace, Love, and Coconuts!
