What a super video. She has quite a story. :-)

When I first started watching the video, i felt a bit jealous of the lifestyle and enviroment where u grew up. By the end of the video that was forgotten and i got jealous of the way u see life and how u "never quit". I wish i could be a bit more like u, become stronger and have the will to change my life the way i want it to be. I think u and ur family are role models and i loved the video and how it inspires. I wish u and ur family the best!! pura vida! - Sol, from Argentina

Uplifting video. I'm also a CZ brat from 1965 through 1972 when I graduated from Balboa HS. My dad was also a pilot, and oddly enough, was also the navigator on the SS Independence, the sister ship of the SS United States before he became a pilot. I currently live in the Philly area, where I can see the SS United States docked at the piers. Unfortunately, it's not in great shape. I'm assuming your dad was Kings Point grad like mine. Glad to see you've followed your heart.

I agree with the message of his, and im very impressed of his courage, But the only part I disagree with is the way you call your birthplace a "junglehome" it makes an impression that Panama is a not civilized country. My respect for your dad

Hi Karina,I was very moved by your video, specially since I had the honor to know your father and also had the great opportunity of working with him as a Panama Canal Pilot. I also express my sadness for his illness since I'll always remember him as an almost perfect man, physically and mentally. As I remember many anecdotes about Captain Petroni I would say that quitting was never an option for him. It's a proud video about a great man, God bless and good sailing. Capt. Peter Pusztai
