Today in the morning, Jasiek visited me on Tanasza, helped me fix several things, took away things which I didn’t need any more, but which may be useful during his adventure, so I’m lighter... then what? Will Tanasza and I go faster? :)
Yesterday, there was a storm in Panama. It shook a ton of mangoes from trees, and at the anchorage, where Jasiek’s boat is moored, each yacht pulled its anchor. And here, at the buoys, only one yacht tore itself away and hit another one... the fifty-knot wind came very unexpectedly. People say that they haven’t seen anything like that for years. 
Today, not far from here, a small airplane (similar to Cessna) was taken out of water... it didn’t reach its airport...
Soon, on photographs you’ll see two big dogs, which travel with my new friends on a 42-feet yacht. Can you imagine that??? It’s a pity they can’t sail to some countries because the quarantine is too long or dogs are not allowed to go on land at all, for example on Galapagos Islands.

You often ask me: „What’s so magical about your cruise?” Well, there are moments when it’s hard not to believe in magic. For instance, I was looking for a photographer who would take some nice pictures of Tanasza and her captain... I was seeking, calling, even Frank got really involved in the search of a photographer... and finally, totally by chance, which is typical of me, I met Roger and Richard. Not only is their best friend a professional photographer, who is going to make me a professional photo shoot, but both of the gentlemen have as much time for me as I need :) 
Imagine that Roger used to be a friend of Jacque Mayol – those who have seen my favourite film The Big Blue know that Jacque is a real Little French. As far as I remember, Jacque did have the ability to slow down his metabolism, he could stay 13 minutes under water with no oxygen.
So Richard promised to help fix the electricity and Roger offered transport as he has a car at his disposal. For example, he gave me a lift to the laundrette because I wanted to iron something for the photo shoot or even buy something... so I took a blouse out of my bag and there’s a magnetic button :( what a shame... they forgot to take it off at the shop. indeed, there was a 75 per cent discount for the blouse but why did they give me such an extra? well...
P.S. once when I was arranging to meet someone whom I had never seen before, I told him of my long, black hair as my distinguishing mark. Later I realised that 95 per cent of women here have exactly the same hair :)
