So
having successfully done the canal transit we now have to finish
provisioning, re-antifoul the hull and get ready for the final
plunge...
.....er maybe that isn't the best choice of
words!
This is the
view looking out over the moorings, jetty and fuel wharf at the Balboa
yacht club. You can see a bulk carrier going up to the
canal
You see some
quite surprising things as well such as this purpose built ship bringing
4 cranes from China
Carnival happened
while we were waiting to haul out
Unlike
Guadeloupe which was the last carnival we went to, where the music
tended to be mainly drums, here the main instrument seemed to be
saxophones
We've got a
right problem 'ere mate! What are we
going to do about this then?
Dunno, she
looks pretty armless to me
Excuse me Madame,
allow me to adjust your dress
And here she
apparently is, on her feet again and none the worse for a few staples in
the shoulders
And here we are, finally getting the
hull re-painted in a tasteful shade of red. We couldn't find any of our
usual blue but we will be so low in the water because of all the stores
that it won't show.
From tasteful to tuneful

Brio having a go with my concertina or rumphgigli as she says it is called in
Swiss German.
