We are at the marina in Barra de Navidad. 19.11.42 N & 104.40.56 W
The following picture was taken a few years ago but it appears we are
in the same slip now as when the picture was taken. Arabella has the
green sail covers.

Here's a picture of town from the Grand Bay Hotel where the marina
is. It's a short water taxi (panga) ride to town from the marina.

Here's a pic of the taxi dock.

Don't think they'll let us take the dogs becasue of quarantine laws...or
of we took them, we might not be able to bring them back...used to know
all the auarantine lawas when I had the shop because had to provide
documentation to say that some animals had been debugged before going to
Hawaii (they have relly strick rules for bringing in animals there)...

It is sweet here. Not only is it a warm beautiful place to spend the
winter but the locals are all like family. I will miss it next
year.

Do most of the locals speak Engish, or do you know Spanish?

It's a little of both, we have been learning Spanish but it isn't hard
to find someone to translate when we are trying to be precise like
getting some sort of boat repair done.

Most of the restaurants have someone who speaks English but the good
butcher only speaks Spanish so we have learned the names of the cuts
of meat we like. The vegetable ladies (gals who drive around town in
pickup trucks full of wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables) don't
speak English either so they just give me a bag so I can pick out what
I want.

This year I am a lot more comfortable with my conversational skills
but when they start taking too fast I get lost. Still, the locals are
generous and don't hold it against me, we just laugh and try to find
another way to get the message across.
