Island Hopping
The nooks and crannies of Panama’s San Blas archipelago, made accessible aboard a family’s catamaran, are paradise found
There are 360 or so islands in the San Blas archipelago of Panama, roughly one for each date on the calendar, which explains why George, Melinda and Joshua Salley have made this spectacular Caribbean setting a yearlong destination.

“This is the closest thing to paradise that we’ve come across,” Melinda said. “The islands are unmatched—beautiful, unspoiled, not littered with high rises and resorts. The water is clear, the reefs are beautiful and the people are friendly.”
