Day 4 ^17
The Rey Emmanuel stayed moored the entire day as the captain had business to
attend to. Still, I never saw him doing anything but swing in his hammock, or drink
beer on the dock. At least breakfast was slightly different, and consisted of boiled
banana and tinned meat (spam). The island sported a branch of the Bank of
Panama and someone mentioned an ATM inside and we decided to check it out in
the morning.
So small was the island that it took no time to criss-cross it. It rained on and off for
the greatest part of the day and the kids loved it, playing endlessly in the puddles
and never seeming to tire. Each island had a central basketball court where all
gathered. The courts were well-used, and various basketball and football games
were played simultaneously. I felt privileged to have the opportunity to experience
these remote islands.
