Had our send off dinner, for Jeff and Sarah, last night. We were in Nargana, close to Corazon de Jesus, the airport where Jeff and Sarah fly out to Panama City. Greg made his great chorizo pasta! We had a few margaritas after Jeff and Sarah had packed up most of their things. They went up the Rio Diablo, with Ralph, during the day. Our dinghy is just too small to fit 5, so Greg and I will see it another time.

Ralph took J & S over to the runway before 6 am. They didn't get to leave until after 8 am. Lucky we'd arranged for them to fly out a day ahead. They would have a tough time making a 10 am flight out of the international airport, so they've gone to a hotel for the night and leave tomorrow morning.

We're now under-way to Canbombia and will meet up with our friends, George and Melinda on Southern Belle. We haven't seen them in almost a year.

Ralph and George are busy trying to set up a gathering for the super-bowl...like I care. However, Greg and Ralph are looking forward to it, and it will be nice to meet some new cruisers. We were a little too large a group, with all of the family here, for us to go knocking on hulls in the anchorages.
