Wednesday July 31 – At Sea


Today we sailed past Isla de Coiba.  This was a Panamanian penal colony until 2004 and trees were not chopped down on the island.  For this reason we have a virgin rain forest there now.  Evidently the island housed both the worst criminals and political prisoners.  The guards locked themselves in the fort and the prisoners roamed the island.  There was no escape because crocodiles inhabited the waters around the prison.

Our entertainer tonight was Camila Andrade  She was the Brazilian mezzo soprano who entertained us a couple of nights ago.  Tonight she performed some jazz pieces and she also sang Summertime which I just loved.  A good evening’s entertainment.
