Well it sure has been a while since our last blog, and this one wont even be very exiting or have any photo's...
As our back-pack has been stolen.
We no longer have a Camera, or a Computeur, nor do I have a hand bag and the contents of one...All our Panama photo's.
Poor Stephen, has lost much more, years of files and music and photo's...
Its all gone in the strangest of ways, from the back seet of the car, while two poeple were asleep in the front seat.
Hard to belive it sure is, it feels like a dream, that we will wake up and find our belongings!
But no, every day I wake up and remember all the things I have lost...
I guess I am free from many things, like phone numbers, credit cards, the outside world...
For some it could of made things easyer, but for us it has made our world more complicated, and very very fustrating....
During our two weeks in Panama City, we did help a fellow Sailor cross the panama canal (and had many photo's to send you all)...It was a two day trip, the first day we went up the MiraFlores Locks, up 8meters at a time 3 Times....Behind a huge cargo ship, in the same lock...
Tryed to hurry all day in the lake to cross the other side the same day, but our Pilote was almost sure we would not make it.
The litlle 30ft Ketch was not able to keep up with the powerfull cargo's.
So we anchored close to the Gatum Locks...
Calm lake, fresh water, a quick swim to avoid the crocodiles...Our Capitain, Jean-Claude was a great host and a wonderfull chef, so we had a great dinner and a few beers, while the Howling Monkeys set their path home along the tree tops...
It was a great experience!
Yet the trip must go on, and we will leave Panama City on Saturday the 15th of August:
Our next stop are the panamanien Islands of Las Perlas, for a few days...
and then the Galapagos...
Lets hope that the sun will shine again!
With all the stress we have experinced, I have had some very painfull days...Terrible cramps/contractions.
Yet I and the baby are fine and all is growing.
I am now 4 1/2 months pregnant and baby is 16cm...
