A once in a lifetime opportunity to help a good friend deliver an aged 65′ catamaran sailboat from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico through the Panama Canal to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, turns into much more than the author expects. A small gift wrapped package taken on board by an unsuspecting fellow crew member, triggers a series of events that places boat and crew in danger. Intrigue, mystery and romance are all part of a four week voyage that includes eluding a Colombian cartel, storm tossed seas, an unexpected visitor, a near collision and the thrill of transiting the Panama Canal.
