We arrived on 2/8.

Along the way, we had a problem with the engine and needed to tugboat with the dinghy, but made our anchorage safe and sound.

We're anchored at Las Hadas Resort, and it's so picturesque. The hillside is a morish design, and looked great from a distance, but close-up it needed work.

Dave and I went sightseeing in Manzanillo on Sunday. We had a good time just walking around cento. The market was amazing, and the port was ok.

Loren and Jerry/SOMF anchored in the same area and came and found us. We had found a good pizza restaurant. For Valentine's Day the four of us went out for pizza and beer. On Monday, Jerry, Loren and I went and reprovisioned at Walmart in Manzanillo, while Dave stayed aboard while Hugo cleaned our bottoms. After fueling and doing laundry on Tuesday, Loren and I had a couple of hours at the pool, and if I might say, it was well deserved!

We decided to do the 36 hour passage to Isla Grande with SOMF, so we pulled up the hooks, and headed out for our first buddy-boat experience.
