the next day: thanks to the painkillers, I could have a nap at night. I woke up when they started wearing off just to take another dose. I think the best remedy for me and my ear now would be fresh Polish strawberries. and in the meantime my little Tanasza reaches even 2 knots :) congrats. it’s night, I can see the glow of the Colon city lights and so many boats that I think I’ve had enough for the whole next cruise around the world  :)
