That's how I ended up in Panama. My Mother got sick before the " Atlantic race for crusers " and I flew home before the start. 1 week later she died. I was the only child so had to deal with everything then swing home for Christmas with my children. Panama was the next in line Rainbow Gathering so went there and kinda never left. ( In a nut shell ).
See @ the tables :-)
P.S. If a boat hires you to move it, at the destination your entiteled to a flight anywhere you choose.
Cheers
