Well after several delays in looks like we will start on Saturday and finish on Sunday (webcam probably about 12:30 Panama time Sunday). It seems that the "advisor" group, of which each boat needs one during the transit, have been on soft strike. As it is not legal for them to strike they all called in sick this week (there are 65 of the them), though it is not clear if this is true or not. Anyway, there are some hackles up around the marina. As we do not plan to go on to the Galapagos until April anyway it is not really an issue to us and more mildly interesting to fun to stir the proverbial pot.
We tried to go fine the howler monkeys that wake us up every morning, and although we got much closer based on the sound we still did not see them. The area of the marina is the old U.S. Military Base from when the U.S. ran the canal. Now completely abandoned so it is a little weird walking around looking for the resident monkeys.
