Lost Elvis Lettering

Here's our new lettering! I hope Randy likes it. I had to choose it in his absense. Letras Alfarro did the work. He's from Panama City. He did a good job but it took him a month and a half from the time he showed me his samples to the day he showed up with the letters. Thank goodness I didn't pay him in advance.

We have decided to transit the Panama Canal again (North to South, Caribbean to Pacific) on March 24, 2010. Stanley is our agent again. He's very jolly these days as he has much more business during the "dry" season. Our neighbours who use Stanley, Woolloobooloo (Simon) got delayed in their transit. They are hoping to get through tomorrow.

Cristobal Marine said they were going to inspect the vacu-flush heads today but I have not seen them around. There is no "vacu" and hence no "flush". It's always something.

Panchita (Ted and Joan) are back early from the San Blas due to the fact that their refrigeration quit. Equinox (Hank and Betsy are coming in tomorrow with autopilot problems. It'll be nice to have some old friends around. We met Panchit and Equinox back in Huatulco last February. We all set out to cross the Tehaunapec together.

Our plans after the canal transit are to visit the Las Perlas Islands, Panama and then take Lost Elvis back to Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. We will commute, as little as possible, from Mexico while we make money for our next trip to the South Pacific in March 2010. But you never know, one of Randy's nicknames is, after all, "Random".
