Babet's Birthday at marina Cerenero

Socializing at Marina Carenero

Hurricane season in Bocas Del Toro

I have been a little busy while Gil is back in Canada. I work on a project on the boat and then I socialize  with the people in the marina. Saturday we have a potluck dinner in the common area, and Sunday is dominos. And every day we have a happy hour at 5 p.m., which means I drink a lot of beer. On Tuesday's the ladies on boats hold a lunch at a different restaurant each week. And Wednesday you go to the Calypso cantina at Bocas marina for chicken fried chicken and Friday you go back for their barbecued  spareribs. On any given night of the week you can get into a game of texas hold-em. There are birthday parties and get together for volleyball, bachi, and all of the national holidays. And Panama has a lot of holidays. I have met so many people here some are new to me and others I have met in other anchorages before. It is really nice meeting up with people you have gotten to know somewhere else. There is someone always leaving and someone new coming into the harbor. I am starting to count the days when Gil will get back so I don't have to take care of the batteries and mechanical stuff on board. And I shall be forced to cook. Cooking for one is boring. And also it will mean we shall be leaving for some great new places with wonderful views and sunsets. They say that it is the rainy season here , but so far it only rains about once a week. And this is alright with me, the temperatures are usually in the high eighties to ninety.
