San Blas Islands (Panama) - boat trip:
- Barbecue on the island. Fried chicken, well more probably burnt chicken!, mash tatties and rice salad on the menu, with obviously lots of beers and rum (Caribbean islands oblige!),
- A very tight competition of "petanque" or boules as the English call this game. Olivier (left) and Harold (centre) were measuring with the most precision as possible the closest "coconut" from the jack (cochonet in French). The problem was that this game is normally played with round boules and not "coconut". Harold won this point as his coconut had a little growth. Olivier played fair and concluded "C'est la loi de la coconut" or "it is the coconut's rule"!!! Good laugh and Paddy (right) could do nothing in front of the 2 French "experts" but defended well the colours of Ireland!,
- Lee was fishing while the chicken was cooking. He was expected adding some fishes to the menu but except some algae, nothing! But he will be more lucky later...
- On board, again the French were showing their talent at cards, playing the famous "Belote" game, well only famous in France! We were very concentrated and the others guys were amazed of our professionalism. They were just jealous!! I was playing with Olivier and we lost all the games but getting better each time...
- The 4 "mousquetaires": from left Paddy, Lee, Dave and Neil. Lots of drinks in front of them but please note that half was from the Frenchies!!
