The proverbial weatherman exists even down here in Tenacatita and was predicting rain for the better part of a week. Unlike what is going on in California we have actually had rain now for five straight days. It was heaviest over the weekend but rain just the same. This caused a slight change in our plans but cruisers have learned to be ever flexible because of weather conditions. We would not be dropping the dingy in the water to run over to La Manzanillo for market day. Di sat around and worked on the taxes for the better part of Saturday and then insisted Rog turn on the inverter Sunday for a day of chick flicks.
With the rain and the humidity a couple of the doors had swelled and would no longer close. So out came the cutting tools and in short order after a little attention they all fit. After all his hard work on a dark and dank rainy day Rog was rewarded with popcorn and beer. Best of all our anchor held through the strongs gusts that accompanied the rain. Several other boats could not say that.

During a break in the rain we left Tenacatita Sunday morning for a quick trip to Bara de Navidad. Rog had arranged a two day escape from the boat to the magnificant Grand Bay Hotel for extra hot water and pool time. Valentines Day was not going to escape his attention this year.
With a break in the rain we went ashore for cocktails at sunset with friends Eric, Marilyn, Jim, Diane, Dennis and Pamila. The margaritas were strong, the views spectacular and sunset outstanding.
I will report on the Grand Bay hotel in my next blog
