It pays to be in the right place at the right time. It just witnessed this Cal 46 (Perkins, water maker, genset, blah blah blah, GEORGIOUS BOAT) sell for 20k. Not many people get a better deal than I did on Splendid, but this was one of them, what a great cruising boat. It needs a lot of cleaning and work, but WOW, what a steal. The guy selling it has health issues and wants to be out of Panama by Friday, he gave his jeep to his cab driver :( what a bummer. If I had only come to Panama the day before.
Anyway. I’m in Panama city. I got a call from a friend this morning and I’m a bit nervous about being away from Splendid as the weather in Linton has taken a bad turn and its blowing hard! I have a ride with friends back to Linton tonight after I get my parts back from the machine shop.
I’m really happy. I just sat down at “El Corral” for lunch and had one of the best bacon cheese burgers of my life :)
My friend Alex (another Alex) is coming to visit for a while on the 27th of December. I met her in New Caledonia when i was crossing the Pacific. We should have a good time in the San Blas after the rainy season has past. It will be weird having company again, but I’m happy about it. Life is good in Panama.
I’m in the Allbroke mall now and have to go look at cheap video cameras. My flip is flipping out and I need to tap it on something hard to get it to work, not a good sign.
Thanks for buying my videos and raffle tickets for a charter. My diesel tanks are dry and the few bucks coming in is going a long way. I should have another video up by the end of the week.
Sail far and live slowly.
