So a couple of weeks ago, after fleeing Mark’s place after his meltdown, we moved to a nearby hotel in Panama City. Karen and I thought it would be better to stay there and clear our heads for a day or two before figuring what our next move would be while in the city. David, a Canadian trip alumni and PC resident who has since become a good friend of ours, said we could stay with him. But we didn’t want to be any trouble. We did, however want to go get some stuff from his place that Karen left with him before a previous trip, and to bring back some stuff he had let us borrow recently. (more…)
I can’t possibly make this up…
Me fighting off the bees, fire extinguisher in hand...
Last trip in San Blas, things had been going just fine. It was the second day of a three day trip. We had a cool group of people aboard. The weather was getting better after a hazy first day, and a rather stormy night. We were on our way to Kuanidup, one of our favorite anchoring spots. It was going to be a nice afternoon. At least that was the plan. (more…)
Some people…
… just can’t be helped or saved. I’ve known this most of my life. I’ve seen good friends of mine go down the slippery slope of addiction and never come back from the abyss. My own mom was a lifelong addict of tranquilizers, painkillers, and pretty much whatever drug she can get her hands on. Her addiction did eventually kill her, even if it was indirectly. And no matter how much you want to help these kinds of people. At some point, the truth is inevitable, and you just have to let go. (more…)
Did some freshening up…
With the nice lay times we’re having here in Bocas, and considering that the weather has been absolute total crap lately, I’ve been able to get some much-needed updates done to the site! 🙂
I’ve updated the graphical look a bit, tightened up some elements, and just generally impoved the layout and navigation. I’ve also updated the header with a new look.
Anyway, surf through and let me know what you think… Your feedback is important! 🙂
Ok, I really gotta plug my WebHost!
I’ve been on my current web hosting company, HostGator for about a year now. Prior to that, I was rather “stuck” with a hosting company that I’d grown tired of after some pretty major downtimes, data losses, and other gaffes. I tried to find a way to move the Andiamo site painlessly and quickly, but to no avail. After the umpteenth major screw-up that actually ended up costing me about 4 months’ worth of blog entries, I’d had enough. (more…)
July, August, and September San Blas dates on the schedule!
I’ve been getting quite a lot of emails and inquiries regarding our schedule for the rest of the summer. Well, I’m happy to announce that I’ve FINALLY updated the schedule through September! Check it out and nail down your dates. If you have some specific dates in mind, then LET ME KNOW! It’s still early enough that I can adjust the schedule to meet a group’s needs. See ya out there! 😉
