Hi all in blog land ,
A funny thing happened on the way to the petrol
station , Ike , Becky , Etteien and Dan were stopped by the immigration officer
who was either bored or broke ,on there way
out of the Panama Yacht Club and asked for twenty dollars to enter the
country , we thought that after three rain forests full of paperwork we were
nearly paid up members of the Colon stationary club as well as the rubber stamp
organisation , anyway after all the dosh we have parted with to sit in what can
only be described as a large corporation refuse dump with windows and
long hands grabbing every small deniro that's going on offer I think Ike
had had enough , the good thing is he speaks fluent Spanish , so after the
officer saying she didn't recognise there own immigration visas stamps in the
passport , and then telling Ike after he offered to go to immigration
to see her boss to verify the stamp and visa that they were shut , our Mr Fix it
walked by and told her that we had been taken to immigration by him and it was
all valid , after hearing this she then insisted that they bring all the
ships papers and crew list to her office to verify them , which
Ike complied with and everything seemed ok , except she hadn't got her
holiday bonus ! the laugh in all of this is that Happy Rob and Veg-man had
been talking to her and passing her office for most of the morning with out so
much as a peep , we even asked her were the fuel man hung out and she took
us to him to get our tanks filled !
On the zepher front we filled our main tanks
by dingy as the concrete fuel berth didn't appeal to much to us , we then
had lunch in the yacht club , which I must say does some pretty good grub , and
the beer is always ice cold to which is a bonus .
Happy Rob has befriended a
large Canadian gent called Mr C he is as large round as he is tall , a
very jolly chap , who works on the principal of one beer per every 15mins of
dock time he spends alongside Panama Yacht Club , we surmise that when he got
here five weeks ago he was the size of Cpt Bucky Balls and that the beer / food
ratio has taken a terrible toll on his body , the vultures on the bins do now
look longingly at him , probably with bad thoughts of how long he would
keep them in fleshy bits should he slip on the jetty after too many 15 min beer
stops .
"Ex Smoggy" enforce absence from the fray
yesterday we think was due to a doggy beer glass as her tum was playing her up
all day and she spent it mainly in her bunk / loo area , this has added new
imput to our daily scatological discussions.
Requests and Answer time ...
Mummy Smogg we need a new name for Ruth
since you have informed us that theirs no more smog up there , I com from brum
and there still lots there in carpet town !
Sharon, Dan has appeared at last , photos to follow
of a wild evening with Cadbury's milk tray and martinis shaken not stirred
, Bucky Balls and Ex Smoggy had a bun fully evening with Dan ,
Happy Rob and Veg-man however did not , with constant references to him being
strapped to a chair and having an anchor wanged up his jacksy as in the film we
were wondering how he could still sit down let alone frolic with all
those bellas in this film .....
