I pulled our old log book off the shelf just now to check my math. We didn't really spend six months in Costa Rica, did we? Holy geez, we did. Wow! Time sure flies when you're touring a gorgeous country and making unforeseen boat repairs.
But now, after an overnight passage from Golfito, we're anchored off a picture postcard beach, complete with swaying palm trees and white sands -- in Panama! I have a cinnamon-crumble banana bread baking in the oven, Aaron is napping and Bella Star is happily swinging on the hook once again. Tomorrow we'll head to shore, string up our hammock between two palm trees, have a couple cold beers and, well, and that's about it.
The only downside to being here? I can't get David Lee Roth's voice out of my head singing, "Pan-a-ma! Pan-a-ma-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. Pan-a-ma!"

Nice to see you back on the move. Looking forward to photos of this picture postcard beach and the hammock!
ReplyDeletePS: We know you are out of practice, but don't forget your SPOT. It still shows you in Golfito, Costa Rica.
Hi, guys! Aaron's working on a post about gorgeous Isla Gamez as we speak--with lots of pictures! And sorry about the Spot. I swear that thing has a mind of its own sometimes. :)
DeleteOH CRAP!!! now I can't get that out of my head either!! Have a great time exploring Pan-a-ma.....pan-a-maaa...aaa...aaa

Thanks, we sure will! We finally have internet again, and we can't wait to catch up on what you guys have been up to. Hope all is well in Mexico!

ReplyDeleteOh, it's so great to hear from you! And thanks for the encouraging words. Wish we could share an anchorage with Shannon again...
DeleteGlad you made it there safely. I'm looking forward to seeing a few photos.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Now that we're back online, you'll get your wish, Deborah! :) Miss you bunches.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving guys! No doubt they prepare a mean turkey dinner down there. -Brolaw
ReplyDeleteLOL. We heard from friends that a turkey cost $70! So we opted to roast a chicken instead. :) But we had all the trimmings--mashed potatoes and gravy, sauteed carrots, stuffing, pumpkin pie--all that was missing was the fam. Happy belated Thanksgiving! Love and miss you all.
DeleteHope you had a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denny! Our Thanksgiving was quiet and peaceful (with a delicious meal and an even better view). Hope all is well!
