We came over from Taboga about 2 weeks ago, spent one week in the anchorage known as “La Playita”, where we got lots of practice getting the dinghy in an out of the water. We're now in the anchorage at the Balboa Yacht Club, not to be confused with the similarly named Yacht Club of Newport Beach. Anyway...it’s so much easier to get around from here and we’ve been able to see more of the area. We’ve stocked up on books during the book exchanges and enjoyed hanging out with other cruisers while munching on pizza and enjoying a few beers. We picked up some charts for our trip to Ecuador from the folks on “Gallant Fox’, along with some first hand info on the Marina in Puerto Lucia, Ecuador. We been to the ruins of Old Panama, Casco Viejo, the walking street, and last night we went to the final night of Carnival; I've even had my hair done the other day and a facial too...I'm feeling so fancy. We had planned to leave a few days ago but couldn’t resist staying until Carnival. Latest news on our departure date is Friday; heading for Ecuador with stops on the way to include the Perlas Islands. We have to provision, fix leaks in the dinghy and check out as well before we head out.
