We spent 4 nights in Shelter Bay Marina preparing for the Crossing of the Panama Canal. Lovely marina with a pool to the kids excitement, as well as Nilla and Janne! ![]() ![]() Having wifi we also took the chance to catch up on sending in Alex’s school to the CNED (Centre National d’Education à Distance) as well talking to Mormor and Morfar, Tonton Freddy, Tata Mado, Farmor Siv and Marraine Joanna. ![]() ![]() We also had lovely evenings with our Swiss-French friends from the yacht Heidi: Cécile, Daniel and Raphaël. Heidi is a Dufour 50 feet being big enough to always host us. And Cécile is an excellent chef! Inez asked us the other when we will come back on Restaurant Heidi! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The day before our departure to the Canal, we got the visit of a Panama Canal Controller in order to measure our boat and check us in for the crossing. ![]() The last morning we woke at sunrise to have a walk to the National Park just beside the marina where we saw plenty of monkeys and a slouth (scengångare!) with its baby. ![]() |
