We decided to stick together on Sunday and take a walk up the causeway. 
First order of the day was to hail the launch. This took a while but we finally attained their attention and soon the launch was on its way. After picking us up we headed over to Navigator to collect their crew. This gave us an opportunity to learn more about their problems in the canal. They said they were getting a tremendous amount of turbulence from the tug they were next to which was flipping them around. Must have been quite concerning.
Once ashore we walked along the causeway to the islands at the end. This took a while and by the time we reached the first set of shops it was time for lunch. We found an ok Tiki restaurant. Annie again insisted on paying for dinner which we are again thankful.
Just next to the restaurant was the Smithsonian Marine Exhibition. It was more aimed at education youngsters but it was pleasant for us to stroll around the island ourselves.
After we’d exhausted the possibilities there we headed further out to look at the Flamenco Yacht Club, the cruise ship dock and their surroundings. Feeling quite tired we headed back to the boat squashed into in a taxi.
Annie and Sam went out again last night. Their aim was to explore where we’d been earlier in the dark but who knows where they ended up. The rest of us stayed on the boat.
Today is “crew day” which means there is no obligation to stick together. We can all do what we want. Helen and I are going to the old town followed by a trip (our first of many) to one of the large supermarkets to begin our long term provisioning.
