In To Paraiso Marina, Isla
Mujeres Very amusing, we were up this morning at
our usual time, not knowing that we had gone back an hour, so our seven was
everyone here’s six, way too keen. We hung around before coming in to the marina
and by chance heard the net which began at 8:30. Soon after we were on the dock
helped in by Kenneth and Chepo. Wi-fi soon revealed 79 emails. Sadly signal too
poor for skype. We wandered up to the office and were pleasantly surprised to
find a really nice pool.
Cannot wait to complete formalities as a dip would be smashing
The bar looks welcoming especially as they do a mean mudslide, no mud though
Marina cats way too welcoming
Formalities were a bit mean. $25 each for our personal visas. $30 for Port Captain fees and $30 for the agent. $50 for a cruising permit that we have to go over to Cancun to source. So to average out the costs we felt we needed to stay a week. $200 for the marina which includes electric, water and wi-fi. Departure tax will be another $50. Had we have known this we would have stayed out at sea and gone straight to Guatemala, now here, lump it. Welcome to Central America.
On the net this morning we were promised a free drink and a band, off we went to Bahia Tortuga
We can only hope the band was better than the inner sole burgers
Rishy and Tony were not the Eagles, but pleasant enough, and we enjoyed each others company famously
We took a look at the accommodation here, very Mexican
ALL IN ALL LOVELY TO HAVE A
