Bugger Humbolt and his penguin

What's the first thing you do when you reach another ocean?

Jump in it of course. I tried this last time, the Caribbean is a balmy 27 degrees the Pacific a few hours travel through a ditch is not. This is because of Humboldt, inventor of the current (still in common use in fruit cake to this day).

Actually it was pleasantly cool. After the organizational nightmare standing round in the sun at Balboa Yacht Club looking for a AWOL Colon taxi driver called Dracula. To the right (grrr had to give up on my images in RSS - it broke outlook) is a picture of some sea. This is not to be confused with other pictures of some sea I may have posted this one's the pacific.

I must confess guilt forgive me oh Cowley Club, for I have sinned I entered a TGI (should be TFI, but the Americans don't do swearing). It was that hot I bought a coke.

If your wondering more about the canal than the crap American chains. Well we lived, we didn't break anything, we didn't have to motor at 8knots, which is hand y cos we couldn't get 8 knots downhill with the wind behind. Even in the canal, which few places where you can take a yacht down hill. As a result of me still typing this post after sunset, I've decided its an article not a blog you can see it in Tom's Travels on the website.
