Aros Mear go up on the Hard in Panama

Third time round s/v Aros Mear gets lifted out at Flamenco Boat Yard in Panama to get surveyed for insurance and buttom paint and all the other bits and pieces on David's  "To do list". It is always a frustrating time as waiting for action plays a big part in the whole experience. An 8.00  o'clock meeting with engenieer easily becomes ten .......or later!

We have arranged to get to splash back in on Tuesday, after a week out. I wonder if that will happen?

I am sitting on the balcony in this lovely hotel, Ocean View, next to the marina and boat yard here in Panama. Its 9.00 morning and warm already, but nice and comfortable. There is a big parrot in a cage next to me talking away.
We are staying in this hotel while the boat is up in the yard getting sorted. David was away there at 8.00 as he was to meet an electrician.

We went to a "carrol by candle light" concert a few days ago. It was good . There was a bit of Samba mixed in and the candles were electric! It was all Panamanian style.
