Up at 6:30 and down to breakfast after our bible reading. Breakfast and then checked out and on the road with Doug (S/V Lola), a member of the Posse, whose boat is also in La Cruz. He had gone from La Cruz to the resort by cab from the marina to the bus station (leaving from Puerto Vallarta at 10 pm) then a cab from where ever the bus stopped at 2 am, to Barra de Navidad to the water taxi and had to wake up the operator (who was sleeping on the floor of the taxi stand) to take him across to the resort where he checked in at 4 am. With the first session at 10 am. His cost was a bit lower than our car rental, but he was really glad to get the ride back. We turned the car in at 4 pm at the marina, we had made a few stops on the way, and it was a much better view driving in the day time.
While we were gone, a few things happened in the marina, the crocodile was caught (about 8 foot) and taken somewhere by the scientists/environmentalists, a movie was shot here at the marina and most likely our boat was in the shot. We will see if we can find out the name. Our sails have arrived!!!!! Ivett has completed the repairs to our dodger and Bimini and it will get delivered to the boat tomorrow. We don’t have a date/time for haul out yet.
I have added a new link on the right for the Panama Posse, this is a very well run organization with tons of information, if you are traveling into Central America or sailing through the Panama Canal, I highly recommend you take a look.
We took the shorter route.
