Quartermoon - Stuck in a Panamanian strike :-(

Stuck in a Panamanian strike :-(

Quartermoon

Mike Share & Sammy Byron

Thu 18 Mar 2010 14:51

So we are still here :-( . Marina is full and boats are backing up to get
through. The advisors & Pilots have decided to hold and unofficial strike
and since they are not allowed to strike they are all calling in sick.
Very frustrating but hey thats central America for you...

We have now been given the date of Saturday but I wont hold my breath.

Mum and Dad managed to change their flights but our last day now for
transit with them is Sunday which is cutting it fine..

Managing to fill the days doing lots of jobs on the boat. Mike is
currently fixing the toilet again!!!( How he loves that job!). Volleyball
in the evenings and also using our bikes to get some exercise in before
the big trip. I cycled for the first time yesterday in a 2 months and can
hardly walk today.

So I will let y ou all know when and if we ever get across the ditch.
