Friday- 4-25



What a pleasure to get laundry done; fill the water tanks; have internet to be able to skype the family; and get a Panama phone chip to make calls home again! The boat looks like a tornado hit--can hardly move. Two projects at the same time--cutting new access in settee to be able to check battery fluids; and extending the water fill up to coach roof so the fill will be near the companionway. We stopped our work day early to join a few other cruisers for a visit to the Smithsonian Research Station here in Bocas. It's only open 2 days a week between 2-5pm. We saw our first Sloth--just hanging out scratching! The station does research on "tropical and terrestrial environments of the Caribbean". Their website is: www.STRI.ORG, or www.stri.org/english/research/facilities/marine/bocas_del_toro (for speed cut & paste address)
