Hi Folks,
More photos ....... of refit and Panama
.
 Zephyr on the charge overtaking a cat, bound for
Porto Bello
 Arrival at Porto Bello, sun set over the town, Sir
Francis Drakes last port of call were he died from malaria and was buried in a
lead lined coffin, he's down below in the mud somewhere !
 Approaches to the entrance to the canal, you have
to dive in between the stream of tankers going through, this one was ahead, we
motored in at 8 knts , the second photo shows the one coming in behind us
.
 This one was right behind us doing 8 knots as we
duck around the break water , the AIS display allowed us to monitor his speed so
we adjusted to suit .
 The first drop, Rob and myself in the Panama yacht
club at 11 o/c , sadly it is know more, demolished by the port authorities Feb
09 .
 Down town Colon, the posh bit ....
 The fun bus, departing for Porto Bello via the
supermarket out of town, a safer place to be !
 Side streets were you wouldnt go if you wanted
to keep your wallet .
