Update on the protests: After 7 days of protests, road closures, and small scale riots, the Ngäbe Bugle Indians and the government have a tentative agreement (at least to talk) and things are slowly returning to normal. The only real impact we had here were shortages of fruits and veggies, diesel and gas, eggs, meat, etc. We just heard over the ‘net that the beer ferry was the first to arrive on the island (priorities :-). All is well here, Tom spent the last few days fixing our anchor light so one more critical item off the list, hopefully we’ll be ready to leave “soon” (but not for a few weeks at least).
Cheers,
Carolynn & Tom
Still in Bocas? i look forward to seeing that area some day. We are below the equator! Another milestone. We are moored at Puerta Amistad yacht club (reminds us of Golfito)in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador. Onto the Galapagos in about 10 days. Hope all is well.
