Summary: Cruising with Bettie: L.A. to the Bahamas, a 51-minute cruising documentary, is available at www.thesailingchannel.tv/cwb. This sequence is from the San Blas islands segment. The San Blas Islands offers cruisers a remote destination to explore just off Panama's Caribbean coast. The archipelago consists of 378 islands. Of these, only fifty are inhabited by a friendly and fiercely independent people, the Kuna Indians. While exploring the San Blas, "Bettie's" skipper, Bob Steadman, filmed his friend exploring a coastal freighter wrecked on a reef. Cruising with Bettie is available on DVD for $24.95 (includes U.S. shipping) and $29.95 (includes international shipping). This is a fast-paced documentary, with gorgeous photography, that will give you a first hand look at the cruising lifestyle. Over 10,000 miles passed under Bettie’s keel since Bob and Kaye left Los Angeles in 2004. They sailed down the west coast to Panama, through the Canal, east to Cartagena, Columbia then north to Honduras and east across the Caribbean to the Bahamas. The DVD is divided into 29 segments.
