Woke up this morning, and even before I had a chance to pee Todd informed me that he had changed his mind again. He thought he'd always regret it if he turned around now, but that sailing around the world was too big of a bite to chew. So his new destination is Australia, and would I consider staying on at least until Panama.
My gut reaction was 'No way, Jose, I don't want to put up with any more drama. I'll find a new boat in Panama. And if I don't by the time you guys get there, we'll talk.' (Mind you, while I have been looking forward to getting *off* the boat and away from Downer Central, I've also been dreading re-packing my bag, 8 hours of flying/airports, the 2-8 hours it'd take to get from Panama City to Colon, and the schlepping of myself around the docks again. P.S. staying in a hotel would be lovely, however.) Anyway, Melissa then had a very good point....what's the purpose of this whole adventure of mine? TO SAIL! And if we're really getting out of here Wednesday night or Thursday morning, then I'd get to SAIL to Panama. Should I still not be happy after the passage, I can just as easily get off there and find a new boat. It's tough to argue with that.
So it's done - my flight is cancelled (Credit can be used within the next year, but travel MUST originate from Curacao...haha, not likely. I feel bad for Todd that that's $560 thrown away, but then again, it was his doing.)
Oh ya, Happy Easter.
