I am sitting in the cruisers club at Land Sea, it is nice as it is honor system, we can pick out beers sodas and mark off on a board, and then do internet, and boys can watch TV. We sitting outside on the deck with a breeze with 3 different cruisers discussing experience, and enjoying the atmosphere. Tim and Katie who run this place have set up a laid back place that provides the basic services needed at reasonable prices as they want the cruisers in. People use this as one of the safe stops, and people use it to do inland travel and more to go back to USA. We have 5 boats here at this time, but I suspect at Christmas it will have 10 to 15, as it gives family atmosphere.
Last night the rain came down for 2 hours we collected 80 gallons in 1 hour, it was a short storm but huge water, the dinghy was half full, but now the tanks are full.
Today was hot again and we went provisioning for the next 6 days, with the boys on their bikes and they went around the park. We got the goods and I booked the family back to USA on Dec 8th so I can pack away the boat while I am on standby for customs etc.
Tracy is painting the Gijima symbol on the wall next to many others cruisers who have been through here, so we adding ourselves to history of the place.
But this is cruising life talking the talk, solving "worlds issues" and then coming back to weather, but people talk their plans which will change, do they go through cannel or go west.
It's fun, and relaxed.
Tomorrow we leave to explore the Gulf of Dulce hope to find a remote bay in the jungle.
