Well. John and Bernie have eventually arrived in Panama City to find it raining or unbelievably humid. John Apps and the boat are still the Atlantic side of the canal and so we plan to join him tomorrow, by which time Heather, his wife will have arrived here as well. As yet, we have no date for the canal transit but hope it all becomes more clear tomorrow.

So far, all we have done is sleep, do a bit of light shopping (did you know mosquito nets come in pink??) and started to catch up on emails and all the other things we didnât quite get round to before we came. So now itâs time for another doze. love to all, J & B x
