So if you get caught with drugs you get sentenced in a few weeks. That was a fast trial! Maybe it is a typo that is supposed to state they may be sentenced up to 8 years? But if you murder someone you have to sit in jail for 8 years? Crazy! Five get 42 years for killings in robbery shoot-out

Nine years after the incident! Amazing!

That is sad for BOL. Did he survive?

We have been to several of their shows in the states. The one in Las Vegas, O is a mind blower. All done on water. All of their shows are an awesome experience!

Very good read!

Top 10 Boating accident causes: 1. Operator Inattention (#2 cause for fatalities) – Staying attentive at all times while boating is critical as a boat operator. Being the main cause of accidents proves the ease of distraction while boating. 2. Improper Lookout (#7 cause for fatalities) – Similar to operator inattention, not properly having your surrounding visible is the second highest cause of boating accidents. A boat operator needs to have unobstructed views around the vessel to ensure a clear path. 3. Operator Inexperience (#5 cause for fatalities) – Boating does not require much education, by law, therefore many operators are not experienced or educated properly. Not only is it a good idea to take a boating education class but building up experience operating a boat is absolutely necessary. 4. Excessive Speed (#6 cause for fatalities) – Maintaining a safe speed, depending on many factors, is imperative for turning and avoiding other vessels. 5. Machinery Failure (#9 cause for fatalities) – Maintaining a boat is a large part of ownership responsibility. Being the 5th cause of boating accidents proves the importance of keeping a well maintained vessel. 6. Alcohol Use (#1 cause for fatalities) – – Even though alcohol related accidents comes in as the 6th leading cause it remains the #1 cause of fatal boating accidents. 7. Navigation Rules Violation (#8 cause for fatalities) – Believe it or not, boating has proper navigation rules. Knowing these rules can save your life from a head on collision. 8. Force of Wave or Wake (#10 cause for fatalities) – Weather related waves or artificially caused wakes from other vessels can be tragic if not navigated properly. Understanding how to proceed over these will prevent anything from passenger ejections to full role overs. 9. Hazardous Waters (#3 cause for fatalities) – Many types of hazardous waters can be the culprit of a boat accident. If boating on a holiday weekend thousands of boats can cause congestion to the point of highly dangerous waters. Strong currents, shallow water, rocks, and many other hazards can cause a major accident. 10. Weather (#4 cause for fatalities) – Knowing the forecast and closely monitoring the skies while boating is a must for boaters. The dangers that can arise from a severe storm, especially on a large bodies of water can be disastrous. Some weather storms are powerful enough to capsize smaller vessels leaving passengers in extremely dangerous situations.

These are the requirements for getting a boat Captains license in Panama: ( I wonder how many actually go through this and how strongly it is enforced?) Note No mention of insurance or inspection of boats. Requirements: 1. Certificate of course completion of “Basic Course for Mariners in National Waters * 2. Certificate of Good Health from a doctor or clinic 3. License fee paid to Banco Nacional 4. Form completion at AMP, finger prints, photo, signature * If you hold a current USCG license, this course certificate will be issued to you without taking the course. Of course, a fee still must be paid.

Hello Mary, Cable Onda is the best and most reliable with very good customer service. 50 MBS, $65 a month. We have Cable & Wireless, ( Movil) for cell phones and probably the least problem free. Two phones with full data plan around $20 a month. Been with both for 3 years. No complaints here in Brisas. There are other areas in Boquete that do not receive as good reception due to their location. The further up you go the more difficult it may be. This should be an important decision on where you decide to live in Boquete. Also water and electricity. TIP, that is an understatement!!!

Very sad. Even in the best of conditions, Macho de Monte is not to be fooled with!

Can sure use a few of them on the Boquete highway!

Sure was a short "Dry Season" heh?

Is that for 2018 or 2019?

Totally agree!

What's the origin of the phrase 'Collateral Damage'? 'Collateral damage' is a euphemism adopted by the US military in the mid 20th century. The word collateral derives from the Latin word 'collateralis', which means 'together with'. So, when an intended target is struck and damage or death is caused nearby, that damage is 'collateral'. Only the US military, with their reputation of obfuscation, could translate 'innocent people were killed' into 'damage was caused nearby'.

Agree! Ate there yesterday for the third time. Rainbow chicken is kinda skimpy on the chicken! Cashew chicken was great and Shrimp and veggie plate awesome. Lots of shrimp.Not on lunch menu...dinner price and must request it. This place is getting very popular!

Don't need any ramps or buses! The Bullet train is a coming!

More times then not the place is closed at peak dinner times!

We did as well. Very well organized and many Panamian volunteers and Panamanians dropping off stuff. Good work indeed!
