Return to Panama City

Today we made the 8 hour return run from the Las Perlas Islands back to Panama City.  It was a bit sad, as Wanuskewin peeled off and headed to Taboga Island where they planned to leave the boat while they accompany us through the canal.  But this means it likely this is the last we will see of "blue boat".

Jim is fascinated by the life boats aboard the big ships awaiting canal transit.  We all agree that strapping into the full harness and being dropped several stories into the water just doesn't seem like a good time.

When we arrived back at Balboa Yacht Club, we headed to shore for a late lunch, and then to the mall to pick up a Digicell SIM card.  We have a Claro SIM, but we've got reliable reports that on the Atlantic side in the San Blas Islands the Claro doesn't work, but Digicell does.  $30 worth of email fix insurance.  Then it was time to pick up groceries as we will need to cook for all the crew coming aboard to man the lines for the crossing.
