Fun shopping from Red Frog Anchorage

How do you stand in life? Do you have fun? Or do you get into your car twice a day and put yourself in a traffic jam “because you have to”? It took us 40 years to understand this:

‘Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved’ – Winnie the Pooh

We are anchored at Red Frog Anchorage, some miles from Bocas Town. Now, when our neighbors go shopping, they take their dinghy and go as fast as their outboard can. And so, with 45 minutes of too much noise, slamming on the waves, they are biting the bullet to solve the shopping problem.

We also go shopping, but we see this ‘problem’ as an opportunity. We like sailing, so we sail to Bocas Town, and back again.

We arrived back on the boat with our sailing dinghy full of groceries, it was fun shopping
We even found some licorice. They were Australian, not Dutch, you can’t win them all.
Back at the anchorage, we proudly showed our trophies to our neighbor
