Today's Favorite Memory - BALBOA YACHT CLUB


We arrived Panama without a hitch. Well only the tiny hitch of the shuttle not picking us up at the airport. It's funny how accustomed we've gotten to small things like that going awry when traveling.  What would have seemed monumental (and scary) 20 years ago gets barely a nod from us today!  We are learning.

This is our view from the balcony overlooking Balboa Yacht Club which is not nearly as glamorous as it sounds. We sailed in here eight eight ago with friends, Janet & Joe Ohl on their sailboat, Cabiri, just days after that infamous night spent rounding Punta Mala.  Some of you may remember that story...."the night as dark as the devil's own colon!"  LOL 

We'll be up early in the morning to catch the bitty plane on to Bocas del Toro. Thanks to the Internet we've been alerted that Cricket isn't running again. It's seems someone put watch in the gas tank. Dang!  Looks like Norm will get to begin on day one using his McGuyre  skills!  Keep all digits crossed for us please!
