Hello @surfermarly I'm happy to hear that. I enjoyed your posts on the Canary Islands, Do you live there?
I was lucky enough to pass through there about 11 years ago on a Large sailboat taking part in the ARC race that we brought from Spain. But my Mother fell I'll and I had to rush home to take care of things. After she passed away, Led to my Panama getaway to clear my head and here I am still.
I only had a backpack then, But due to having a wife now, bought some land and built a house.
Probably better than a tent for 2 plus some land to farm and raise chickens.
Cheers

It sounds as if you were always following your heart. Great approach!
I'm verry sorry for the loss of your mother. Even though your trip to Panama seems to be a lucky break in the end, so "everything happens for a reason".
Yes, I do live here on these islands. I've been traveling a lot, too, but always came back here. So I guess that's the place where I might grow old...

The last video of your was Grasiosa, I don't remember it being so large but I do remember that it was very dry and sparsley populated just like Lanzarote where we spent some time. Zero plant life, kind of like the moon surface. How people lived there before desalination plants I don't know. Arrecife was quite lush, pretty, touristy and quite expencive.

Mr. Cody.... great story! I think there's a book here somewhere my friend :)
