bugs bugs and more bugs in barra







this has to be a quick post as i've squandered away the day here at the sands hotel in barra de navidad. the bugs are relentless and there's no breeze so it's time to pack up the computer and head back to the boat.

but first i wanted to do a quick summary. we left tenacatita and motored over to la manzanilla on the south side of the bay - for breakfast. yes we do travel by our stomachs. then we had to motor out and make water for 4 hours. we had wind so we sailed (oh darn) then headed back to tenacatita to anchor for the night. next morning we left and spent 2 more hours making water then headed into barra de navidad lagoon. we've been here several days. here's what we did:

got the dinghy motor fixed
had some great meals
spent time with scott and marlo on allegro
took a taxi to melaque (for food at the hawaiian market)
jim found a guy that makes corn beef here in barra
bought crossants from the french baker who comes out to your boat
showered poolside
spent new year's eve with many cruisers from the lagooon and had a really nice time - except jim didn't get his coconut shrimp - they forgot!
we leave tomorrow morning and continue our crawl south. above is a mix of pictures from here. more to come in a week or two.
jim and i both wish you a much improved happy new year and look forward to seeing you down the road.
