THE SLOTH MOVIE!!! | PATREONS ONLY | Sailing Merewether (Patreon)

This week we continue to explore the archipelago Bocas del toro, we take our tender into the mangroves in the search of the famous sloth. We've been on the island for approximately three weeks without seeing the little creature, I am beginning to wonder if they even exist. Kieran takes on the job as being my personal gondolier, he sings me a song as he paddles deeper into the mangrove jungle. We see a snake lying in the sun and Kieran (from Australia) can't get away from it quicker... A family of monkeys surrounds us as we paddle further in and a little baby monkey wants to get a closer look at us. Paddling out we spot him! A sloth!! He starts to climb closer and closer to us and finally one meter away he reached out his hand as if to say "I wanna join you Sailing Merewether" (or something to that effect). I could not be happier!!! 

On a sad note, we say Goodbye to our close friends SV Wildthing 3 and Macushla as they leave for the canal. It's not easy, we've been sailing with our New Zealand family ever since Gibraltar and have been to over 10 countries together.   

We end our week with our favourite activity (when we're not sailing) SURFING!
