The managers of Balboa Yacht Club, knowing that I’ve been having problems with my visa card, did me a huge favour – they gave me a discount on the daily fee for the mooring fee. Just tell me, am I not lucky to be meeting such people?
gosh, I’m gonna miss my new friends, those distinct lights of the canal...
according to the plan, today it’s going to be the last night to tie Tanasza to buoys safely. I think about it before each time I set off.
As always, I’m wondering whether I haven’t forgotten anything... rather no... we’ll see! :)
I’m listening to the music which my friend gave me for the long journey. Fresh provisions remind me about tomorrow’s adventure...
and the light in the compass has been fixed – thanks, Richard. He also gave me some magic medicine made of silver. It seems that soon I’m going to be even more precious for you :)
 
the three good things that happened today?
- my guys spent the whole day with me, giving me a lift to all the places I had to go to.
- there were grapefruits and kiwi fruits... and I love grapefruits.
- in a milk bar, instead of two fried eggs with bacon I was given scrambled eggs with chopped salami... it could be worse, though... :)
 
 
later: it’s 5 o’clock in the in the morning. there’s no wind, it’s pouring with rain and I can see lightning flashes around...
I can’t sleep because of all those thoughts about the journey. How many times have I gone through all that?
