We are off! We left our mooring at Balboa Yacht
Club this morning at 9AM. En route to the Galapagos!
Carlos our lovely and efficient driver came onboard
for a farewell dinner last night. He made our lives so much easier in Panama
finding everything we needed.
Dozen of cargo ships around us at anchor waiting
for a slot to transit through the canal.
Not much wind, about 6 kts. We are motorsailing at
present but the engine will no doubt soon be switched off to save
fuel.
We have been listening to the Pacific Net on SSB
and have registered with them. Loads of other boats are on their way to the
Galapagos so it will be nice to have daily contacts through the
net.
Holger seems to have settled in and all is
well.
Very hot and sunny.
Will keep a daily blog.
Love to all
Mike and Catherine
