Ngaire and Anne - thank you for the Sea Mail. Love your reports. Have to make lamb tonight and will drink a toast to all the Party Cruisers!!!

We loved our day in the Canal. What a great way to spend NY's. The time at Gatun is very special.

The hand made baskets, while they seem pricy (I loved one that was about $400. and I did NOT buy it)are quite special on the art circuit. I saw them with an article about the tribe that makes them and the women who are there in the Yacht Club in a gallery in Santa Fe. Price tagged at $2200.

Anyway, what a special day in Panama! Enjoy.
