Shelter-Bay Marina

We arrived in Shelter-bay Marina about a week ago and have been working on various projects. My mom has been stocking the boat up on food for the pacific, my dad has been taking care of the boat and fixing it up for the canal and pacific, so far my sisters and I have been trying to keep up with school work and stay out of our parents way, mostly by spending a lot of time in the pool. My mom comes back from the city everyday tired when she realizes she's going to have to cook dinner in the mess the boat is in, she usually sends us up to the restaurant to eat. We did that for a couple of nights until we realized that the food at the restaurant was not so good and for the next few nights we just dealt with the mess and cooking dinner.

The people at this marina are really friendly and we've made a lot of new friends. When we arrived our old friends were here but the had to leave after only a day and we were left with just ourselves.  Unfortunately most of the friends we've made here have already left to go throughout the canal or back to the San Blas islands. Because it is a marina there is not much wildlife that you see everyday but tales follow us of crocodiles in the water and Jaguar sightings on the road to the city, and even just running on the path my dad saw 5 monkeys.
