This morning we could finally leave the busy
anchorage just by the lane going in and out of the canal.
It has been very rolly and we have been busy every
day.
We passed a big bunch of ships anchored outside
Panama, we could see the sky skrapes in Panama City and the air filled with
smoke.
Soon we left all the noise behind and we could just
enjoy the sailing and the peaceful Pacific.
The sea has been almost like a floor, the winds
about 5-7 knots on the nose.
We rolled on new line on the new fishing rod that
we bought for a very good price, took a bate with three hooks (Thank you
Kelvin!) and dropped it in the ocean. After half an hour, we pulled out TWO
spanish mackerells!
Wow, dinner secured! Then we dropped the line again
and after an hour we got THREE spanish mackerels! All at the same
time!
They where big so we only ate two of them tonight,
with cooked potatoes and spinnach. Very Yammi!
As the sailing was slow we headed for the northern
most island on Las Perlas.
Here we are anchored with just another boat and the
island is FULL of birds.
Tonight we got a sense of being in the Doldrums or
ICTZ as it is called today. It is a belt of no wind, thunderstorms and
humidity.
We have a lot of thunder and lightning around us
but so far nothing just above us.
