Out and About

Roger has always loved his hammocks ever since our first trip into Bara de Navidad so many years ago.  We had our good friends Orlando and his wife Linda on board for a trip from Puerto Vallarta to Z-town.  Orlando got off the boat in Bara but his Spanish made this first trip so much easier.  Linda stayed with us to Z-town and got to laugh at all our futile attempts to talk to Mexican officials.  We needed Orlando more than ever  It is so much easier checking in and out now.

 It was very overcast today when we left Tenacatita but the sunscreen went on anyway because in Mexico the sunshine is usually here by noon.  Unfortunately it did not bring the air temperature down very far, it was still in the low 80s as we pulled into Bara lagoon

A water truck had pulled up to the fuel docks so Rog decided to get water on board the old fashioned way, 5 gallons at a time.  Thirty minuets later he wasn't so sure that humping all those containers were worth it.  I am sure our guests Ron and Carmen Konkle will appreciate knowing we have very clean drinking water on board!  I will be much more thrifty when doing the dishes knowing that Rog had put all his sweat and labor into the tanks.  By the way, the water maker is working just fine but the water only cost 16 pesos per 5 gals.  you do the mach, pretty
cheap.


We are off to Las Hadas to meet Ron and Carmen.  They fly in on Saturday and with the $200 peso per day landing fee at the hotel I think we will pull up anchor that evening and head over to Santiago.  I will report if we can get ashore at the hotel without paying but I understand there is a guard now at the dingy docks!  No fun
