It has been exceedingly difficult to post photos and it seemed a shame just to do text but that is what will have to happen until we get back to a land-based system.
Yesterday was Oranjestad, Aruba - wonderful weather, after rocking and rolling again to get there, really friendly people and a beach.
Normally, I am not a beach person, not being a swimmer of note. But, it has been important to dip into whatever body of water is near the port. Costa Rica - the Pacific side - was amazing - warm as a bath tub with some waves but not much force in them, and sand so hot it was not possible to walk on it without shoes.
Aruba yesterday - Divi Divi beach in the Caribbean - was very different. The water was much cooler and the waves were strong and frequent. Each beach was wonderful and I have the sunburn to prove it.
Tomorrow is Grand Cayman - one passenger said he was going to visit his money! We do not need any more fridge magnets or t-shirts so unless the banks are giving samples, we will head for the beach again.
Right now I am in the computer room and will ask if I can bring a USB stick with photos and load them from here. You will know the answer to that soon enough.
And, the transit of the Panama Canal was superb - it took all day, used 56 million gallons of fresh water just for QUEEN VICTORIA but is still an engineering marvel.
