Last night we were excited that our entire crew is now complete! We picked up Debby Baldwin at Tocumen Airport in Panama early last night, and after unpacking and a quick meal, we all were excited to bring on today! Debby was the first one up this morning, making pots of coffee and welcoming us all with her smiling face. The weather here in Panama remains warm, overcast, and muggy. Radios are being tested, weather forecasts are being analyzed, and we all are eager to begin our great adventure.
The "itinerary", if there is one, takes us from Panama to Taboga Island, a short 7 miles away. We will swim and search for wasabi in the local store, and then this afternoon, we will begin our watch system as we start our journey to the Galapagos Islands, 850 miles away. Our watch system will begin with 3 hours on, 6 hours off, with Eric & Carter holding their own watch, and Debby and myself sharing a watch. Debby came to Sea Child with a loaded ipod, so our music interests are covered. The stores are stocked, the water & fuel is topped off, and we are good to go. Our next big adventure is about to begin. Galapagos Islands should be about 5 days away.
