reached the bay off Panama City and counted more than sixty ships. The city
has a population of 800,000 and we were surprised to see so many tall buildings
along the seafront. At 5:30am a bunker ship pulled alongside and took two
hours to refuel us. We waited all day in the queue and were told it costs
$50000 to pass through. Double that if you miss your appointment.
An inspector boarded at 11:30am and had lunch in our messroom.
Later the pilot will arrive and a dozen rope hands will prepare board and
keep the ship tied to the mule trains as we go. There are many birds in the bay entertaining us as we wait.
