We are leaving tomorrow to go by taxi and bus to Balboa, Panama City and will find Mandy at the Balboa Yacht Club, waiting quietly on a mooring for her turn to go through the Panama Canal. I talked to Richard on the phone today; he is pretty sure they will be scheduled for Saturday, and we are not sure just how long it will take us to get there.
Yesterday Jodie [above], from the boat Savannah, and I did a 5 hour hike across the ridge along Golfito, partly on a road and lastly on jungle trail, and we had a wonderful time. Great views, lots of monkeys, toucans, wild violets, rushing waterfalls, and energetic conversations filled our morning and set the tone for a wonderful day.
David supervised the making of a new anchor chain holder (there is an official name but don't remember it), and we put it in today; it is amazing what he can create! We did some more leak control caulking and readied ourselves for about a week long trip. Sidewinder is tied up to the dock at the yacht club where she is now very much a part of Tim and Katy's establishment and she will be secure with power. We look forward to our adventure and will touch base when we get back with pictures to share.
Hope all is well with everyone and lots of love to all, Suzi and David
