FRIDAY 29th jANUARY 2010
08.00 Another beautifull day in Paradise,
The wind had changed direction and the sea was much
flatter.
The Skipper looked into hauling the boat out for a
scrub and a coat of anti fouling, but according to " Cameron" ( the
permenant hand on Les Auchincloss boat, based here,) taking boats out here
is unreliable from a timing point of view, ie Tomorrow could mean next
week,
So we got a couple of locals to do a dive and
polish the topside, They did a super job . They spent the whole day working on
her and believe it or not,
they used white vinigar and soap for the top
sides, A Lady looked like a brand new boat when they were
finished.
We all went our seperate ways to the "Albatross"
shopping Mall, about 5miles away and close to Panama City.
The place was Massive , finding our way around took
for ever, but it had everything one could imagine including an indoor
MERRIES,
We bought some bits for the boat and Kevin and the
Skipper bought new mobiles, they have quad group and unristricted use, so we are
back on air again.
Aileen got her hair done and that took a long time,
so we were late getting back to the boat and therefore had
dinner
without the others in " Brennigans" on the
Marina.
We were joined by the others later and Aileen was
in great form, Amazing what a hair do will do for women.
Lots of chat and then the bunks.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
