Glimpse of Panama

Panama City, Panama is home to the 8th wonder of the world the Panama Canal. For Panama, the Panama Canal meant progress and they are celebrating their 100 yrs in operation. It's been more than twenty years since I last set foot in this country and I am eager to see how the place has evolved.

Freeport, Grand Bahamas Island

I was not that lucky to be in port for a much longer time during the day, enough to go ashore to visit Port Lucaya where the Market place was located . Nevertheless, I had the chance to see how it is during midnight, where safety and security is quite impressive.

A Walk To Remember at Charleston, SA

Does it sound like a favorite movie title?
For someone who visited the place for only a couple of hours, seeing all the tourist spots is quite a challenge.
However, a few minutes of stop-over at the Waterfront park is an afternoon delight.

Coffee Cup

Susan Gale said that "Old memories are like coffee with cream and sugar, when stirred both can become mellow and sweet. "

How I missed having a good cup of coffee from  Starbucks with a special someone who is willing and able to get me one especially on a gloomy Sunday. :(

Faces of the Sea : Thank You Seafarers

On June 25,  2013, we are one with the world to pay tribute to the 1.5 million seafaring professionals who are dubbed as the "Unsung Heroes” of the Seas..."The Seafarers." 

This year's theme features the "Faces of the Sea." 

To the men, I sailed with THANK YOU, for the lessons learned and the memories. 

To those, that I came to know by chance or through the social media, your stories at sea are all worthwhile to feature.

There is always a reason to smile when the vessel gets into port after a 19-day sea passage from South Africa to USA east coast or vice versa. Whether to unwind ashore, receive snail mails and packages, do some shopping, visits the place tourist attraction, feel the culture, blend with the locals or simply wait for a homeward flight.

A Tale of Love and Two Lighthouse

To the Seafarers,  a  lighthouse is a structure ashore that aids them in navigation, giving warning against the dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals & reefs. It is also a beacon of light for safe transit to inland channels or harbors, where a welcome respite hopefully awaits.
To me, the"lighthouse" signifies a new hope at love and life.
