Que tal,
We are
en-route to Panama city, Panama. Traci and I had an idea of what to expect on
this voyage and the pace is non stop in a good way. The Explorer crew and the deans
try to cram all the fun events into a very short time so even the on ship time
is loaded. Last night was a talent show. Both Anna and Layne joined the rest of
the dependent kids for a song . It was cute.
Traci so far
has been able to deal w/ the different minor ailments coming her way . I know
she did a wonderful service for the girl who was in the hospital in Quito. She
will be joining us for sure in Panama to finish the voyage thanks in great part
to Traci’s comfort and encouragement I think.
Yesterday we
also had a bridge tour , fascinating stuff. This ship sails almost constantly
12 a year every yr and the crew and Captain keep it oiled, painted ,shined and
ship shape along the way.
Tomorrow AM
is a big day for me , I’m going fishing! I have a charter capt lined up to pick
me up for the tender as we will be at anchor in Panama. I am hoping for a Roosterfish. I also hope to be able to paint something as
the inspiration flows everyday checking out new cultures art work and style
along w/ hour after hour at sea.
I Hope
everyone has a great week!! We are on the home stretch see you all soon!
Best to all
you land lubbers!!

Hi Doherty Family!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! My aunt Michelle told me to look at your blog because you were going on another trip. I hope to be able to do what you are doing one day; it sounds like an incredible adventure. Have a wonderful time, and I'll see you at Wychmere!

What a gorgeous family photo!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy fishing in Panama! If you are sneaking a fish aboard... can't wait to see it painted!
Hi John, That's great that they keep everyone so busy on the ship and that the girls were involved in the talent show! That girl was very lucky to have Traci in her corner since she is such a caring person and capable nurse!! The bridge tour sounds like it was really cool! I hope you have a fantastic time fishing, get the roosterfish and get to paint! Lastly, your pictures are wonderful - especially the one of the family!!!! Love, Lisa Pizza
