More Panama City and Homeward Bound

The city marina in Panama City is always a good place to visit.  I even managed to put the boat in the slip with only a minor panic attack.  The egress was not so great but I wasn't driving.  Good to share the blame on booboos.  She is going to take a lot of learning and we're paying tuition to the school of "Oh @@##".  Other than that, we had a lot of fun meeting the other boats.  One thing being ashore allows is for eating out and letting someone else wash dishes, always a popular option with the ladies of the group.  Close by are Bayou Joe's, a fixture on Masalina Bayou and Cassandra's a great diner in the heart of old PC and a short walk from the boats.

This pair was singing outside the boat for a long while. It was fun to watch their antics.

Craig modeling the Fling Tshirt.  I'm impressed with how nice he has kept it.  Ours seemed to have a combination of food, dirt and oil stains.

The shirts were designed with some of our favorite spots on them.

Breakfast at Cassandra's

This is for our neighbor Steve.  He does like a good rum.

Lady Chateau from Minnesota was across from us at the marina then passed us on our way home.

She is over 80 feet and had an aft deck for her toys and the crane to lower them to the dock.  I really can't conceive of the money needed for this type of boat.

The port of Panama City is adding infrastructure to handle to ships that will be coming through the enlarged Panama Canal.

Navy hydrofoil.

Hydrofoils huge fans.  It is nothing something that can sneak up on you.

Capn Dave at the helm.

Mariah, Suz and Sam on board, sail with us home.  I guess they aren't sick of us yet!

When they put in the new bridge, they turned half of the old draw bridge into a fishing pier.

Watching the world go by.

Entering our home bay.  Almost home.
