Good morning, friends.

My favorite sailor crossed the Panama channel last night. Dixie made lots of pictures of the Alcón. There were 2 I liked best. I don´t know if they can be turned into photos to hang on a wall. One was the tiny Alción alone in the channel and another was the Alción with a giant ship in its rear. They will have to stay around 3 days in an island in the Pacific part of Panama to do some administrative paperwork. My life is easier. While Dixie is away going to see her ill people I will have ready the turkey thigh I brought with me. I´ll roast it in a bed of coarsely diced onions and apples and with onion and apple wedges in the inside. I´ll only marinate it with salt, pepper and dry white wine. The slow roasting will do the rest. Carla (Dixie´s second daughter) is coming for dinner with her youngest son. I just put some Diclofenac on my aching legs and will wait a bit before taking a shower. Now I´ll go to my notifications. See you.

The administrative work is a long process. From what Humberto told me once, it hasn´t changed much since the Stone Age After that, I hope good winds help them in every sense of the words. Humberto will be messaging us twice a day.

@LadyDuck It seems that either in Panama or Colombia they ask for a lot of paperwork.

@marguicha Some countries are so slow and demanding when it comes to administrative work.

I'm glad the canal part of the trip is over and hope the rest of the trip will be good, too. Good afternoon.

@JudyEv They know how to do it. There is a part of the boat that they has to ask elsewhere. Meanwhile, they sleep in the boat and dine somtimesat the island where they are.
