Panama Canal and West by Ivan and Jane Chevous

A leisurely cruise to and around Central America, what better way to spend the last six years? Ivan and Jane Chevous, presently in Spain on their return journey home, cannot wait to tell us all about their favourite anchorages, the places to visit, their hurricane season tips, and how to organise the Panama Canal transit without an agent. They will also explain why they love this cruising ground and especially the people of Central America.
