Goodbye Panama, Hey for the Pacific Ocean

Our stay in Panama and preparations for the passage across the Pacific took so long that they even started bringing tourists to us. I’m dead serious. Boats with tourists circled around us, while a guide told them that it’s a Russian boat sailing under the Russian navigation system GLONASS. Everyone applauded.

That was the last straw and we decided to get out of the place. The entire haven was bidding us farewell during three days. The Venezuelans, who were ferrying a charter catamaran and gradually squandering its property, gave us the best gift. They brought us wonderful waterproof seats and really pleased us with the inscription reading “For care your ass sailing with GLONASS.”

And then, attention, DO NOT bite them!

DO NOT try to cut them with a huge knife.

Instead, take a small and sharp knife and carefully cut the fruit in half.

The trick is that inside the fruit there’s a stone covered with very solid fibers and, if you cut the fruit improperly, you’ll then get exhausted while removing those fibers from your teeth.

So, cut the half.

Then make lengthwise cuts.
