1) Quaranta Giorni – 40 days
Quarantine is the restriction of movement of people, animals
and goods intended to prevent the spread of disease or
pests.
Used in connection to limit disease and illness, and preventing
the movement of those who may have been exposed to a
communicable disease,
but do not have a confirmed medical diagnosis.
The word quarantine comes from a seventeenth-century Venetian
variant of the Italian quaranta giorni, meaning “forty
days“,
the period that all ships were required to be
isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the
Black Death plague epidemic.

6) Panama, Bocas del Toro, Bastimento,
Ngรถbe Indians
Hello Panama Posse!
Weโve recently been contacted by a
sailing family of 5 in northeast Panama. They live onboard
their vessel in Red Frog Marina (one of the Posse Sponsors!)
on Isla Bastimento. They work for YWAM Ships and are
attempting to repair/set up/return to operational status a
base on the island. Theyโve reached out to us for help (she
found our website after a Google search) but we are on the
Counter Posse heading north (currently in Chiapas, Mexico).
Wrong body of water.
I sent that response quickly in case I lost
service. Theyโre a family of five with 3 boys from Minnesota
I think. Theyโve been in Panama for 3 years, โWe have
joined the YWAM ships base, Outpost Panama and are serving
as the operating location leader (base leader). We are
reaching out to the Ngรถbe Indians that live on isolated
islands in this region of Panama as well as local
Panamanians and Ex-Patriots from all over the world who
live here.โ
We were wondering and hoping that some of you might be looking for a good cause to help out. They desperately need a fence built around their base. She says they also need help with plumbing, electrical/solar, new construction, and remodeling. They also have some much-needed repairs to be done on their sailboat (teak decks, paint the steel, and build bunks). They are in a situation where they cannot leave the island. It may be that they need someone to deliver parts/materials that they order, or just some hands to help with the physical labor. She says they โcannot pay anything, but would graciously feed and love on them while they were working.โ Iโm happy to pass along their contact information to anyone that would like to learn more. Please reach out to us through email (ankyrios@whereverthewindsblows.org) or the Line app (Ankyrios).
Thanks everyone!!
