I have so much to be thankful for... Of course, my family and friends in the US, my health, but at the moment, I am thinking of the cool breeze, the solar panels and 12volt fans, Wifi, and an American style Thanksgiving dinner with the other sailors in Panama City prepared by the local pizza place.
50 cruisers showed up for the buffet style meal. Absolutely delicious moist turkey , gravy, stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberries, a roll, pumkin and apple pie. Yum yum. Paul wore a mickey mouse tie, blake and sunny sat with Russ, Paul and I. Really great food and company. Since I couldn't be with friends and family, my cruising community really came thru making it a close second.
Yesterday, Aspara got a new dinghy. Christned "Gus"...get it? Asparagus? Anyways, its smaller and has a rigid floor. No water on the inside and air stays in the compartments...yeah! We tried Abernathy's but ended up leaving there with foul weather gear and just as we walked out the door, the skies let loose with a torrential down pour. We took a cab to Centro Marino and stepped out to steaming sunshine. They had a small 8' Mercury inflatable that they were happy to deliver to the dock.
