We had a lovely young couple from Australia for three days. They currently live, work and go to school in Canada. They were here in Panama on holiday for over two weeks. We are so fortunate to have them as our first charter, as we had a wonderful time.

This is a local Kuna guy named Heraldo. He comes to your boat filled with vegetables, wine, soda, eggs, chicken and more. This is such a great service! We have bought from him a couple of times and his prices are very reasonable, considering I'd pay just about anything for lettus! Oh how I miss a good salad!

The above phone is of Venancio. We were invited into his home. He is a famous mola maker here in the San Blas Islands. His brother is Alfonzo. These two brothers are the only people on the island that speaks English. You will notice in the video Venancio's house is dark, but you can see stuff hanging on the walls and hammocks. We went outside towards the back near the water where Venancio was working on a mola. He explained to us what he was making. Then we went in his backyard where there was a pig pen. That's probably for another celebration.

This is one of my favorite photos of Drew (on the right) taken 20 years ago. He is now a strong, competent, intelligent, good looking, (ok I'm a proud mom, I'll stop) young man. We miss you Drew and look forward to seeing you in the near future - Happy Birthday!

People think it rains in Washington, well it does, but mostly it drizzles and it is wet most days. Although I've heard the first part of December was a record dry. Tacoma only gets 50 to 60 inches of rain per year. From December 8-20 here in the San Blas Island, we got 18.5 inches, or a full third of Tacoma's rain in 11 days. I guess that's why they call it the rain forest, and this time of year is called the "rainy season". I hear once it stops, we might not see rain again until May or June. We like the extreme weather patterns of Central America.
Life is good on Kokomo

This is so cool! Because it is in 10 feet of water, we could really see what a ship wreck looks like. Our friends from SV Dragon's Toy have an underwater camera. He took a photo of Denny and I. Also here are some amazing photos.
I see an underwater camera in my future!
