Panama, Sexy SUPS, Snakes, April Fools!

We are awaiting my French Polynesia visa, preparing for the sail across the Pacific, dodging snakes, admiring the skill of the daily parade of Stand Up Paddle Boarders going past our yacht and helped a fellow yacht transit the Panama canal. I pulled an April Fools stunt on the crew, which caused much consternation since it involved delaying their flight back to South Africa. Panama City is a convenient place to prepare for our 5 week Pacific Crossing so not a bad place to be stuck waiting for a visa. David "Irish" Aikins and I are chomping at the bit to get sailing to the South Pacific islands, so hoping the visa comes through this week. We have the doldrums to get through so need to get moving!
