Wind. Wind. And Some Rain.

We're waiting for the weather to change. It's the "dry" season in Panama - or so they say - but you wouldn't know it by looking at the recent weather. It's been grey, cloudy and rainy for almost a week. We're settled behind Isla Linton and getting a few projects done. We've played some dominoes with friends and had dinners and desserts aboard each others boats.

Tomorrow is the day we hope to be heading north - to Isla Providencia off the Nicaraguan coast - but a Colombian owned island. It's about 250 miles away - and with the wind a bit on the nose - it should probably take us two days to get there.

Today, we are getting some diesel from Tito - it was supposed to come yesterday - but - no. So hopefully this morning. It's the islands! Michael will work on the wind generator this afternoon (a big project involving a ladder on a boat - hope the roll settles down a bit - or it could be "interesting.")

Otherwise - it's been a trip into town, practicing Spanish in real life situations, cooking, plus projects like changing hoses in the heads and cleaning out the water-maker, and, visiting with folks. It will be good to be moving on and hopefully that will happen soon. That dot on our "where are we" map is getting too stuck!
