Poor old Lost Elvis had to come out of her swimming pool to get dried off and spruced up.Her she is at Shelter Bay in Panama on the travelift and on her new "legs". She is going to get new bottom pain, a new cutlass bearing, a tuned up propellor and some other odds and ends.
Randy and Paul are staying with our dear friend Matt Hocker in Panama City while the boat is getting some work done. When they are not running around the boat yard or over to the prop shop, I hear they are enjoying the occasional steak at the restaurant "Market" and Paul is still looking for the best "Spanish dictionary with long hair" so he can improve his language skills.
Thea is in Vancouver trying to make some money to "fund the project" and hopes to fly down to Panama City in the next week or so.
Lost Elvis and crew (Thea and Randy) will then pass back through the canal (North to South or if that's too confusing; Caribbean to Pacific). We will leave Lost Elvis somewhere along the Pacific Coast for several weeks so Randy can visit Vancouver when it isn't pouring rain. Depending on the weather, we will inch back up the coast and perhaps leave the boat in El Salvador for two or three weeks. Perhaps Mac and Alan (Effie) can boat sit.
Recently it has been 80 to 90 degrees in Vancouver with little humidity. We hope it lasts for Randy's visit.
