Closed Captions (CC):
there's been a collision
we're also feeling very sorry for this
catamaran over here right there okay we
are taking a little detour out of
Cologne and we're gonna be heading to
focus del Toro for some relaxation of
while we wait to transit the Panama
Canal we've got some things that we have
to do we can't go through the canal
right away so we thought we would take
this week and go explore some of the
Caribbean side of Panama before we go
through the canal
what's the plan okay apparently this is
quite controversial barbilla all figured
out so we're going to go to Isla zappity
R and from there burners got a flight to
catch
on 7 Sunday morning and so we're just
going to take the rib from there to
Bocas del Toro and then she's going to
fly out apparently that's difficult to
comprehend for some people I believe in
you
yeah see he's gonna work I think you're
two people believe that it's going to
work
stay tuned for aftermath video Bruna
crying because she's stuck with us for
30 days
we are just pulling into Bocas del Toro
a little island called zepa TIA
it's a hot 11:30 in the morning
wow he's huge alright okay let me see
let me see
Wow look at him can't really see it on
camera but there's a stingray in there
we have arrived in paradise
Ric the gone man gave me two cars of the
same no I just confirmed the loser
drinks that wears that makes around a
drink roadway your age some of us ever
may settle for the game business is Lou
or when someone else we're still dinging
Oh
put the head on do your new trick while
we're in the head while weathering the
highs the cheeky Joker no no don't try
hello again
what's your punishment I have no idea
what is that matter cause be busy and
I've no idea what I had no idea what
else okay backflip in the pineapple
crown
this was a card game invented by Ryan it
doesn't have a name but right now it's
being called the cheeky Joker why don't
we take it off if you feel uncomfortable
oh here give me that all right what's
important is the backflip really yes all
right
well done I don't know she made it all
the way over but that was a pretty good
effort are you okay
today I learn two things
Ashley backflips on the day of the week
I don't I don't know if I can impress
upon you how difficult it is to get
seven people to go in any one direction
at the same time but we started this
process of going to the beach going to
the beach an hour um about an hour ago
but this is post a few card games post a
few drinks do we need to bring the cats
with us yes you can't should come to the
beach with us Holly hey Charlie you
coming oh five two more
all right we're all a little bit
sunburned a little bit hungover and
we're now pushing off on our way to isla
bastimentos because we're going to be
dropping Bruna off to say goodbye to her
she's gonna be heading off to the
airport to go back to Brazil she will
not be coming on our Pacific crossing
with us but she's been with us since we
left Saint Maarten and it's been
wonderful having her on board but now we
have to say goodbye
we've been to places that I would
probably have to take like four flights
to get there you know to this places
it's crazy how different all this places
are just like in two days of sailing you
are like in a completely different place
and they're all insanely beautiful I
feel so grateful for everything so now
I'm going back to San Paolo Brazil and I
could be sad but not actually I'm not
sad because I feel like I'm stronger to
deal with the city situations leave
there for a while and then get ready for
the next adventure yeah
well
goodbye
thank you our mantra
oh the party madness of Bocas del Toro
we have a boat race going on around our
boat and our Anchorage of just speedboat
going nuts
this is obviously a local thing seize it
how many times are they gonna go around
it's just like a NASCAR race where
they're just helping the engines they'll
die in some point
I think we should enter banana and the
race the evening you can to overtake
them think bananas to be faster
it's obviously a one class race there's
been a collision we're also feeling very
sorry for this kind of ran over here
right there as you can see
when they start coming around the turn
they're cutting around this catamaran
inside and outside
now that's not a good place to be
all right today is a holiday in Panama
Labor Day
I guess which explains why everyone was
racing their boats around and partying
yesterday but we have found a place that
will rent us some bicycles so we're
going to go off and explore this place
that Fred and ranae told us about a
plastic village a village of houses made
out of plastic bottles that's all I
really know about that way to go check
it out get some exercise see how fast we
can dehydrate in the Sun and then go
visit Fred and ranae
right we know where we're going
so the story we heard from Rene I'm Fred
yesterday was that there was this guy
who wanted to build an island out of
plastic bottles but then he got worried
that if the island started to break
apart who would be creating more garbage
in the ocean instead of recycling it all
which is what he wanted so instead he
decided to make houses out of plastic
bottles and that is what we're going to
see why we are cycling up the hill in
the midday heat in the middle of Panama
to go see a village of houses named last
bottles better be good
we have arrived the plastic bottle
village
all right should we go see what's going
on inside
we're entering into a plastic house but
it is all stuccoed and stuff inside
all right I'm curious about this plug
the castles
if it is
really cool to see how the local people
are trying to solve their issue with
garbage because a lot of these islands
they collect so much garbage and they
don't know what to do with it it's all
about sustainable living and building
these houses out of plastic bottles and
recycling in a new and different way
there's a plastic interior yeah
you
an air-conditioner or a pool or
waterslide or just like a large bucket
of ice
we found you without getting seal us
oops we lost Gemma I thought you were
right behind us we'll be pulled into the
lol we saw you go fly by I was like oh
oops
good thing we good thing Lansing instead
of whistle really loudly
oh yeah that's so cool
what of you had a whole nother round but
not in it
wow you guys got my eyes water room you
know now in powerful beer cold beer
would be I could you with the water fix
you wow this is just stunning
about here
so ranae and Fred knew our crew member
Lance because they lived in st. John
with him and they had worked together at
some point so Lance was excited to catch
up with them here in their new home in
Panama and they've been so kind to show
us around invite us into their home feed
us all their fresh coconut and mango and
it's been interesting to see how people
make their choices about where they want
to live and they decided st. John didn't
have what they wanted anymore so they
moved down to Panama and they found what
they wanted here in Bocas del Toro even
though we want to travel I really want
to live here you know I mean I really
like it here
and there's what 42 different
nationalities there's something that
does almost here and it just is I know
it seems more laid-back more more what
we're looking for you know st. John you
buy a bag of groceries and you come out
of there it's 40 bucks here it's four
bucks you know it's totally different I
mean we ride we don't have a car we ride
a bike you ride bikes in the town ride
bikes to the beach at your age you know
you say oh well I'm I'm 30 I'm 25
whatever you know next time you turn
around you're 40 and the next time you
turn around you're 55 next time you're
65 and you say I don't do this anymore
you know so if you never write you never
regret what you do it was wrong didn't
do that all right that's why I feel
great that you guys are off having this
