Update From Panama
Everything is going well. Just got back to Panama City from a great 6 day trip to the Las Perlas Islands 40 miles or so from Panama City. Plan to do final provisioning over the next two days and hope to depart for Galapagos around Thursday and spend a few more days in Perlas before making the big leap into the Pacific. Salsa is more or less ready with no major issues while I have used some spares and have not replaced them do to budget cutbacks, they were just basic engine parts I figure I can live without anyway. Trying to provision water, diesel, plus food for as much of the Pacific as I can (general consensus is that food all across the Pacific is very expensive) has proved logistically complicated on a 30 foot boat. I may even have to cut back on some of the beer and booze I was planning to stow. Sorry I have been playing too much to give a proper update once again but I plan to do plenty of writing underway with better updates in Galapagos, with all the sunshine here in Panama I’ve had extra power and should be able to charge the laptop as needed to keep a decent blog. Hope everyone is doing well and if I don’t get a chance to update once more before leaving hopefully you’ll here from me in about three weeks from Galapagos! -Kirk
