An ocean apart

More details later but all is going very well with my flying visit to Britain where the weather has been generally cold but with some lovely sunny days.  I have really enjoyed seeing family and friends including some excellent walks and meals.  Having been to Grange-over-Sands, Wakefield, Durham, and Glasgow, tomorrow, Mike and I will drive south to visit friends and relations in the Cotswolds, Taunton, near Exeter, and London.  I return to Panama on Monday.

Meanwhile, Randall has been busy (for example, the freshwater pump on the boat died just after I left) and has been trying a bit of single-handed sailing.  He has gone out to Las Perlas to join Sweet Dreams, Sea Parents, and Paula Jean (amongst others) at Isla Pedro Gonzales.  I am really looking forward to seeing him when I get back…I hope that he will make it back to Panama City in time…
