The sun’s out again (soon we’ll be complaining about the heat and empty water tanks 
) and it seems our luck has turned as well. A fellow cruiser will come to our boat to weld the crack in the boom today, we’ve borrowed a welding machine from another boat and a generator from yet another. Spending time in a big anchorage like Portobelo feels like living in a village: after a while you know everybody and cruisers are usually willing to help each other out 
If everything goes fine we’ll sail to Colon tomorrow, the admeasurer will come to the boat on Monday morning (preparation for the canal transit) and then we’ll hopefully get an appointment to go through the Canal soon!
