Sunrise on Tuesday, November 1

One of the sailboats left early in the morning. That boat had been on the edge of the most protected waters. We immediately picked up anchor and moved about 200 feet north into the spot where it had been. Even though we’re still not completely protected waters, this new spot was an improvement over the last spot. It’s amazing how much of a difference a couple of hundred feet can make.

Christi woke up feeling horrible. She did drag herself out of bed for a few minutes to help move the boat, but she went right back to bed and didn’t get up again until mid-afternoon.

The men got down the dinghy and went to shore. They checked out the big sand bar between the land and the big rock, then went and checked out the village. View of the shoreline looking northwest.

Sunrise on Saturday, October 29

We had stayed out late for the Dia de Los Muertos festivities, and on Saturday morning, we were off to a slow start. The diver came and cleaned Kosmos’s bottom. Eric met one of the neighbors, who had a dive compressor onboard his boat and offered to fill our empty tank. Yay! 

Dan and Drake came over in the late morning. Claire had told us that the hotel/restaurant a mile away from the marina, called Hotel Tripui, had pretty good food, and they would let us use their pool, which was warmer and larger than the marina pool. We walked over there for lunch and brought our swim gear.

We spent Sunday, October 23 doing chores and visiting with the other cruisers in the anchorage. Our neighbor on Stray Cat had to climb his mast, and while he was up there, he took some pictures of us and the anchorage.
