Now in Panama City, Panama-- at the home of Anibal Morales/a
Panamanian-retired from the US military. Will move on to Carti, Kuna
Yala today.
Talked to Justino Galino, my prime Kuna of Isla
Gerti/the Robesons, yesterday and he will have a boat ready at Carti
airport to take us, the sails and all my gear, over to the Robeson
Islands. He is very excited. Just wait 'til he sees the sails! He's
gonna flip out! I'm sure he either never thought anything would ever
happen with the information and measurements of their old sails, that I
took while I was in their islands in 2011 or he gave up expecting dreams to come true. However!!! Here they come!
Went to Reys
supermarket yesterday to load up on food items I can take with me, as
there are no food stores on his island. A bread maker and a tienda that
maybe sells rice, tuna fish etc. but I bought enough that I can live on
for a week or so. Some fruit, canned foods such as hearty soups, small boxes of fruit
juices, Gatorade, 2 cases 20 oz. water bottles, prepackaged/pre-cooked
meals that I can eat cold, cans of nuts, vegetables etc. Guess I'll
loose another pound or two! :)
OK, probably no more to
be written on this site until July 25th or so, as there is no Internet
out there in the San Blas that I will have access to. One way or
another, I have a scheduled American Airlines flight to return to the
United States on July 27th.
Stay well ya'll!
