This is what i will be doing the 4 weeks at sea ! Haahahhaaa, this sloath was up in La Playita Marina on top of the electricity box with its baby but we didn't manage to see it !

I don't think James would have picked this one up, This was just before going through the Miraflores Locks !

We have had such a great time in Panama City, but i think we are just about ready to leave. All the provisioning is done and i really don't want to see another supermarket in the next 4 months of cruising which I'm sure we aren't going to see anyway ! We have installed a new water maker for the Pacific, we were lucky enough to find one second hand in Shelter Bay Marina for only 750 dollars what a bargain, it beats carting 5 litre water bottles back and forth from supermarkets and trying to find taps everywhere we go. We have also been waiting for parts from England for our wind generator which came quickly only 4 days until the parcel arrived. So its only fueling up with diesel and water tomorrow morning then off to Las Perlas Islands.

The first set of three locks going up, we were instructed to tie up to an Australian Boat called Impulsive and what a coincidence James actually worked on this boat while we were in Barcelona what a surprise, He even knew the guys onboard ! Its such a small world !

What a great experience, We had the best time really fun, Advisors great and we found some lovely line handlers, Dee , Pippa and Nigel thanks Guys for you help !
We waited at the flats for our Agent Ricky to come aboard, He was on time 3pm and we were off ready to go into the first set of locks the Gatun Locks, We tied up to another aussie boat driving forward into the first lock, who then had to tie up to a tug and it all went very smooth, We just had to watch it was great !

Crocodile Hunter No 2 , James went out for a little expedition with some nice canadians in the dinghy and he came back with this, like Rex Hunt would say we caught him, kissed him and put him back, No handbags were made from this !!
