The Gloria was particularly spectacular as the crew performs a choreography of songs bringing in the sails.  There is a magic to arrival in ports.  Gulfito, Coasta Rica was particularly nice as early dawn and dense morning fog shrouded the jungle that came subtly into view.  The shift in the propeller rhythm woke me from my birth and overnight I was transformed into an altered consciousness.  Panama was pink with silent flattened lightening lacing across the sky.  An earthly understanding that the sun sets at close to 5:00 all times of the year.  Only the north and south experience the drastic shifts of elongated nights and days of the seasons.  OH!
