When I was preparing the yacht for the photo session, I wanted to move the flags to a place where they would not cover the mainsail. When I pulled them to the top of the mast, I realised that I forgot to tie their lower end to the deck. So I was staring at the string of flags which dangled in the wind. I was laughing out loud at the sight - there are such moments in our lives when laughter is all you have left... Finally, I grabbed them together and I did everything as it should be done... I pulled the flags to the top of the mast but... it seems that one of my knots let go at one point (I really should learn how to tie knots!) and about a half of the flags fell down onto the deck... and the rest? Up on the mast, dangling in the wind...
Now I have to climb the mast again... geeez, I should consider moving up there for good :)
I am suffering from an illness... not good. A friend of mine wrote to me: “(...) address your superconsciousness (which is responsible for our health) and demand an immediate improvement of your health. You can also make yourself believe that ‘with every breath that you take, you inhale a healing balm which heals your whole organism’.
It can be quite effective (...)”.
And so I walk around Panama, repeating my mantra: “I’m healthy, I’m healthy”... and so it goes

Tanasza and I hosted a special guest. We were visited by the owner of the Medivet company (www.medivet.pl). He might have thought that he will relax here a little, but it seems that a solitary person could always use an extra pair of hands, leaving aside all courtesy or politeness... and so Mr Piotr helps me as best as he can... During the break, we went to see the Old Town of Panama City. We liked the place but at one point, after wandering into a small street, we were told by one elderly lady to go wandering somewhere else since the place was quite dangerous (it may have something to do with me standing joyfully there, holding my beautiful camera in my hands...).
 
 
Do you know who also visited me? Mike Perham (http://www.bwsailing.com/)
Last time we saw each other in Cape Town... gosh, the world is really small! Mike would like to win the title of the youngest sailor who cruised solo around the world. He’s English, his yacht is fast and he’s already crossed the Southern Ocean! Congrats! If you could turn back the time, would you have cruised the world alone being a teenager? or a different question – how many of you dear parents would let your child go on such a cruise?!
