San Blas Islands (Panama) - boat trip:
- The guys were lucky. A couple of pilot fish were hunting below our boat and Lee and Neil managed to catch one each (not sure if there were the same fish!) after lots of effort as the fish was pretty big! Good for Lee as he normally catches tiddlers and nice for Neil as that was the first time he was fishing. Well done boys!!!
- It was with great fun but also lots of worries that we were watching the boat crew helping Peadar (pronunced Padder) charging his bike to the small canoe. The operation took at least 20min!!
- Peadar was probably breathing better once he reached the land and the village of Chepo!!! Removing the bike from the canoe was not so easy and the road, well a kind of road, to reach the village of Chepo was very muddy. We had to cross a small river; with the 4x4 that was OK but we thought at one point that Peadar was on his way to sink! But finally all ended well and the lad is now in Mexico!!!
- "Photo de Famille": from left and top: Micha, Julien, Olivier, Marina, Harold, Neil, Sam, Dave, Pedro, Kerry and me. Just missing Peader who was supervising the operations to remove his bike and Lee of course who was taking the picture. We had a good time on the boat (for me once the boat had stopped!!!) and everybody was very friendly. I was happy to chat a little in French and played "belote" card game, even if I lost! Good entertainment from Dave and Harold and a special mention for Micha for his jump from the yardarm!
From San Blas, we reached Panama City where everybody returned to his own trip but sure we will see again some of the lads!
