This photo above is from the live video camera when we went threw the canal. It is hard to see us, but I put a red arrow where Kokomo is. We are the small dot in front of the big blue container ship.
This video is when we had a tour of the museum
Here is the video of our canal trip.

When we were on the river we saw some bread fruit hanging close to the water. Kelly decided to pick it and open it up to see what it looks like inside. Below is a video of this.

Paul (one of our crew) wrote on his blog the problems Kokomo had getting threw the canal. Here is a link to his blog. Thanks Paul, nice photos. Paul's blog link
I will post a video of our transit when it is downloaded.
We had a wonderful birthday celebration for Becky Stover last night. Her birthday is today and they left to head back to Idaho. We will miss them!

Becky and Kelly Stover have left for Idaho. We had a very fun and eventful 9 days with them. I only hope they had as much fun as us.
We are now settling into Shelter Bay for a few days while we finish fixing and washing the boat. We will be headed to the San Blas Islands on Tuesday. Can't wait for the next stage to start.
Bye Becky and Kelly, we will miss you!
Life is sad on Kokomo

We are anchored in what must be one of the most peaceful and beautiful places on earth. We are surrounded by wild life and slept to the sounds of the jungle. Around 7 am a local Panamanian came past the boat fishing. I told Kelly that we paid extra to see the fisherman when we reserved the river for ourselves for the weekend. This is believable, as why else would the 100 plus pleasure boat's that are six miles away in Shelter Bay not be here?
Yesterday we went for a hike into the jungle. The guide book said to bring a compass as GPS won't work with the thick jungle canopy. The book was right, but it was worth going. We followed the sound of howler monkeys until we were right in the middle of a group of 50 or so. Watching and listening to the monkeys was a treat for all for of us. On the way out we came across a significant amount of fresh blood, reminding us that the jungle is alive at all times.
Our canal trouble has made our time on the river shorter than we wanted, but I am so glad we chose not to pass it up.
Life is good on Kokomo!

YES - We are finally going threw the canal!
No internet for about a month, so no photos or video. I will post them when we get internet. But will post daily.
