Henry presents Finding Freedom posted at Finding Freedom, saying,

“Need a reminder of summer as we march towards winter? Here you go! In August 2012, I sailed through Panama’s unspoiled, largely undeveloped San Blas Islands. If you could imagine your “perfect island” with its crystal clear water and dark green jungle, and then tried to paint it, you’d paint the San Blas Islands…all 380 of them. This article covers my first day sailing through the area and contains a link to another article of mine offering advice on how to organize your own trip to the San Blas Islands. If you ever make it to Panama, I highly recommend a trip through these islands.”
