On the drive back to the marina, we wanted to stop for lunch. We pulled off the highway at what looked like a likely spot. Only to find that not only were there no restaurants nearby, there was a big traffic jam headed back towards the freeway. Dave quickly realizes that if we just keep going, we will soon be back in Panama City near where Mike and Holly have Wanuskewin anchored. So we give them a call and invite them to lunch. As usual it was great to catch up with them - even though we will see them in a couple of days as we are going to help them transit the canal on Tuesday.
After lunch, Mike and Holly were headed to the mall. So we offered to give them a ride. All six of us piled into the small car, along with Vivi the dog. Holly stat on Mike's lap. And Vivi crammed in up front with Steve. We laughed that the last time any of us were packed into a car this way was high school.
