SAILORS SUFFERING SLIGHT SIGNS OF TRANSITION

Feelings are mixed these days as we continue to prepare for our departure.  The Captain should be on his way home saturday,  I continue to sort, sift and sort again as I pack.  What do we need to take, what do we want to take, what can we live without???? 

The weather here continues to be crisp but very lovely as our autumn season turns into a very nice time to enjoy the beach and the waves.  Folks are settling into the resort for the winter and again many interesting stories are being shared.  Jane and Fred have easily made their transition form the Fire Tower in Alberta to unit #6 here at Kye Bay.  They are great and so supportive of us. Joey will remain the resort KAT and hunker down for the winter with them and the laundry room.  Oh, my heart is heavy in that regard cause you know the struggle I have with leaving him behind.  In my mind I know it is the best for him but my heart will miss him so.  He is my little buddy, never complaining and always willing to love me.   (Of course folks say its because I spoil him so.........could be??)

Lots to prepare regarding personal business so must get back at it.  Oh, I wanted to share with you my thrill to have reconnected with a friend from my days living in Toronto.  Nancy, now lives in Winnipeg and has an incredible Youtube site...............

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...
