No Power
19 August 2014 | San Blas Islands, Panama
Becky/86 degrees, sunny and beautiful
The last few days the weather has been thunder storms with lightening and heavy rain. In the town of Portobelo where Captain Jack's restaurant/bar lies at the top of a hill, he also was hit hard with the storms. We went to his bar for the internet to find out the whole town was out of power, so no internet. As it turns out, Captain Jack had been out of internet for 3 days. This is a long time for him to be out. So, we ordered a beer and a hamburger and talked with a few cruisers. There were six of us hanging out, the next thing I know, I'm singing along to some oldie but goodie songs. Captain Jack brought out his beat up Martin guitar and started playing. Then he passed the guitar around and it seemed everyone there knew how to play the guitar! Yes, even Denny had a turn and did very well.
It takes 12 hours to get to the San Blas Islands from Portobelo, so we left at 3 am. We mostly motored as there was no wind. But arrived to our favorite spot in the East Lemons. We will stay here until our friends arrive from Tacoma.
Life is good on Kokomo
