ON THE HARD AT MARINA SINGULAR

It has been a full few weeks............from the fast pace of Phoenix/ Mesa Arizona and a whirl wind of dinners, tours and walking..............we arrived in Cabos San Lucas to temperatures in the high 80s with water temp of 80.  A nice little breeze in the morning and late evening to keep us nice and cool while we sleep and chore time.  We are ending that around 12ish as it is too hot.  Not cooking alot as the galley is in a bit of an up roar besides needing a good clean.

We were rather pleasantly surprised to find all in great shape and if not for the dust of the boat yard things are good.  The Captains cabin in nearly back to normal with our clothes unpacked and stowed away.  Tomorrow will find me doing a few loads of laundry as we want to start out fresh. This is all part of leaving our vessel for such a long time --the heat has caused things to feel dirty so to rest our minds we will wash everything again.

A car ride to town and we dropped off the front sail to be repaired.  That in its self was an adventure as there are no street signs to speak of so locating things is quiet an exercise.  The fella there was a character to enjoy and hear many stories.  He also provided us with our first Kat fix as he had two lovely ones.  (We sure miss our Joey but by all accounts as can be read on face book Gr'auntie Lily says he is having a great time!!!)

I was able to connect with Telcel again for the INTERNET.  It is always rather a lengthy visit to their huge office and one never leaves without  many unanswered questions.   The visit was a success and we have service.

I am rather tired writing this and am not doing justice to the adventure so will say Good Night and let talk again  soon

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

Image
As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

SAILORS SEEKING SECOND SIGHT OF PERLAS ISLAS

Image
The last few months have certainly been filled with many enjoyable days and peaceful nights We arrived in Panama City in awe of the sight of such a huge skyline of massive buildings which is certainly impressive night or day.  Upon closer inspection it is just another huge city filled with business, malls and people....lots of people.  Some not so fortunate as the large areas of low income buildings is large and not safe to travel in.    Our time with Canadian friends, Roz and Dave was fantastic.   We were pleased that they enjoyed themselves so much and fell into "Sailing life"very well.  The White Shell lent herself to two more bodies on board and all was well. From what the pictures tell you we had a great time sailing to The Perlas Islands, exploring, swimming, fishing and just plain relaxing.  David did amazing things with the guitar and the fishing rod. LOL  It took us a few days to regroup after their departure...

PICTURES ---ONE IS WORTH A MILLION WORDS

Brother Rob and Sister Irene have reported difficulties in viewing the recent pictures of our adventure.  Just checked out to see if all is well and this is what I found: On the right hand side of the blog page you will see a list of pages that are offered on the blog for YOUR viewing pleasure.  As you click on each one of those pages you will find different topics.  Looking for photos you must go to the page entitled  OUR STORY IN FOCUS.  Click on that page and you should be redirected to our Photo Albums that are all saved on our GOOGLE ACCOUNT.  I have personally gone over each album and set it as being a PUBLIC view so you should be able to view the most recent pictures.  They are saved chronologically.  You will see the album cover picture and when you click on it you will be given options to view it as a slide show.  PLEASE TRY IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND. I have constant Internet right now...........a little modem by Digic...
