IGulf of Chiriquí, intaba-mlilo yasendle, nentaba-mlilo yePanama yonxweme lwePasifiki, yayisaziwa ngokuba luNxweme olulahlekileyo. Iinqanawa zeepirate zangqubeka apha; Oo buccaneer abakhohlakeleyo babela iitshathi zommandla omnye komnye, bezimisele ukuphanga ubutyebi bendalo.
Njengokuba usapho lwam kunye nam sasikhwela isikhephe esincinci esiya kwitheko, kwabonakala ngathi nathi, singena kwindawo engaziwayo. Ukuntywila ezantsi kunxweme loMlambo iChiriquí, ubungqina bendawo yokuhlala yabantu buye bunqongophala-iinkomo ezimbalwa apha, i-kayak eyenziwe ngomthi apho. IBarú, eyona ntaba-mlilo inkulu ePanama, yavela ngaphandle kwenkungu kwaye yaphinda yaginya kwakhona. Emva koko sabetha elwandle saza sajonga kwindawo engenanto njengoko umoya omkhulu wawubetha isikhephe sethu, sinciphisa incoko kukukhwaza ngamanye amaxesha.
Ngapha kokugquma kwenjini, isikhokelo sethu, uLiverpudlian omde ogama linguRob Jameson, wachaza ukuba oomatiloshe abalahlekileyo kwezi zilwandle babedla ngokuhlola isibhakabhaka ukuze babone imihlambi yeentaka ezintle zefrigate njengomqondiso wokuba babekufuphi nokhuseleko elunxwemeni. Iyure okanye ngaphezulu emva kokuba sihambile, nantso: amakhulu eentaka, amaphiko eepiko ububanzi, ejikeleza phezulu ngaphezulu kumachaphaza omhlaba obhinqwe lihlathi-elona qondo liphezulu leziqithi ezili-14 ezingafakwanga zii-Islas Secas.

Ngaba sikulungele ukurhweba ekhitshini kunye neklabhu yabantwana ngencasa yolonwabo lokwenyani?
Ukapteni wayisika injini saza saselunxwemeni, iindlebe zangxola kuthe cwaka ngesiquphe, saya ngakwindawo enamanzi aphuma ngaphandle kwincam yesundu. Nangona ngobuchwephesha indawo yabucala yesiqithi, i-Islas Secas inokuninzi ngokufana nendawo yokulala ye-safari: ubunewunewu kukuba nokufikelela okukhethekileyo, okusondeleyo kwindalo kunokuba nezinto ezintle okanye uyilo olukhazimlayo.
