The Good Life

We have had so much fun and well a few minor incidents, but an adventure for sure! Where to start. OK, well we left portobello and had a great sail to the lemmons. It rained really hard during my watch and I had to go out and empty huge bowls of water out of the sail's reef. No one got sick! that was awesome! Nancy slept on the floor on a cushion and we tried not to step on her during shift changes!

It is a really small boat. 3 people on a 33 foot boat with all the new crap I brought. we frequently play sit in a corner and wait till one person does their thing. First thing we get to the lemmons, I jump in of course. We take blinding photographs and go snorkling the reef.

So much to tell, but here we are again in slow internet land on the island. We sailed to the Swimming Pool and poked sharks in the nose. A spotted leapard ray poked back and got nancy on the palm. We played doctor for a couple hours to make sure she didn't go into anaphylactic shock. She is fine! Night diving was intense...we watched a shark chow down on something, then he came right at me, I poked him and he left. Oh and I caught my first fish with a hawaiian sling! It looked much bigger under water!!!!

We sailed to Nargana and toured the town with Frederico and gave him the glasses and presents from my mom. He sold Nancy a mola and we bought bread and veggies. The next day we rowed up the Rio Diablo! so many birds! and a 5 foot long "Gator" The teeth were pretty menancing, but they say they don't bother people but dogs should look out. We hiked up the water pipe trail and saw a turtle, well I did. and lots of Tucans and really exotic butterflies and flowers. Some really cool mushrooms. I met Donaldo on the trail to where he was working on his plantation. I invited him to visit the ship that night. He came at 6 and we spent two hours drinking wine and playing cherades. Pantomine between kuna, spanish and english. He understood Glug Glug Glug when I described where we got our water!

Back now in the lemmons, Venancio and Lisa both came aboard and displayed all their molas. I got a cool pillowcase this time and an old and a new kuna flag! It's lightning out and gonna rain so I will quit yapping and try to load a photo real quick. ok so photo don't work yet, next time,

Cheers, jellyfish
