A welcomed assist! Panama City, Panama

Anibal J. Morales....... at your service!
...........and Great Service it was!

We were looking for Abernathy's marine store in a mall here in Panama City, but were unable to locate it.  I began looking (profiling) for someone who I thought might speak English as well as Spanish.  Here in Panama sometimes you are in a crowd that is very bi-lingual and sometimes not.  On Friday we were not having luck.
The problem was we had come to Panama City, Panama to buy a new inflatable boat to replace our Avon brand tender to our Memory Rose mother ship.  The deal had been struck in person and confirmed by phone, so we thought, yet the company was either changing the terms, reniging or we just had a major communications error.  I felt it was the former, having several Spanish speaking folks in on the discussions.  Anyway. I was looking for some directions and asked Anibal, pictured above, if he spoke English?  Did he! (My Spanish is still minimal).  Retired from the U.S. Army and now living in Panama, he took us under his wing and aggressively tried to help us.  Not just directions, but called the store, discussed the deal and bargained for us, eventually even lowering our price.  He drove us to the store to make sure all aspects of the sale was correct and to our satisfaction, then drove us to our hotel.
Upon arriving, we invited him in to our hotels restaurant for some relax time and conversation.

 He spends his retirement quite busy, procuring anything you need quickly and very fairly priced, operating Tourstransporting passengers, providing 'security' for anyone needing such services (last week acting for a movie company filming here in Panama-we did see photos of him with the main actor)
Anibal will basically find anything you need and    bring you to it, or it to you.


I recommend him for your Panama City needs!
