Starting the Puddle Jump!

We ar anchored at the island of Contadora, Islas las Perlos, and we have been here for two weeks since David tumbled and whiplashed his neck.  Today my brother Hans Christian arrived and he is coming with us to the Marquesas Islands.David s neck and back have been hurting but improving all the time. Hans hr. is really good news! He was stuck in New york as his documentation for further travel was his word only. The authorities would not let him board the plane, and since it was midnight here at the time we did not know any of the drama till the next morning when  realizingthat our good Panamanian friends, Janice and Woddey had gone in wane to the airport. A lot of tension and writing of documentation later He got on theplane the following night.Again our good friends collected him and showed him Panama before handing him overto other bood friends Nancy and John who fed and watered him, gave him a bed for the night  and got him to the Contadora ferry next morning. Tomorrow, 3rd of March we light the anchor and startthe 4000 Miles towards The South Pacific and the Marquesas Islands.
