Next thing the shipping company sends a quote for the customs fees - $2300. WHAT?! Melissa had a complete conniption. Of the $2300, $300 was to pay for the launch to bring Dave back from the ship after loading to the marina. She promptly pointed out that this was not actually customs fees and that we expected that to be included in the original contract as surely no one expected Dave to swim. Moreover, Melissa is quite certain that if she went to Panama with Dave she could handle the customs paperwork and the actual fees would have been about $300. Several days go by with no word back from the customs agent nor the shipping company.
