Already while I dropped the hook again in front of El Porvenir island, the same ladies as two days ago, came again in their dugouts and tried to sell their molas…

Looking at the watch, I decided to do this admin work of paying my fees already today.

Today, with me alone on board, the tender surfed over the water with his 5 HP motor. Thus, I was pretty fast around the sandbank at the docking place.

As I knew the building from yesterday, I didn’t need to ask but could go straight.

At the entrance door I stopped and looked down at the several pair of beach sandals laying in front of the door. From my many years in Japan I have a sensitivity for shoes in front of a door. I took mine off as well.

After having paid, I used my DeepL translator and asked if Kuna always take shoes off when they enter a door and they confirmed.

Taking off shoes when entering houses is what Kuna and Japanese have in common.
