The entire reason we are here in Bocas del Toro is because we are waiting. We are waiting for our canal transit, which is scheduled to be May 2. So now we are here. Bocas del Toro, if you haven't already looked at the map, is a group of islands towards the NW end of Panama. It is a nice group of islands, or rather, they would be a nice group of islands if they didn't have no-see-ums. We are, right now, battling some no-see-um bites, since we stayed in a marina (Bocas Marina) last night and no-see-ums usually are close to shore. Tonight we've decided to go out to anchor to try to avoid the no-see-ums and get some wind blowing through the cabin. Jerry and Jim have made a temporary cover for the salon to let us open the hatches and let some air in at night. It is also a nice sun cover during the non-rainy, blistering hot days.

We should stay here until April 26, and we may possibly be without Wi-Fi during that period.
