Yesterday evening we watched the lights come on around the bay. What a beautiful site. This bay reminds of of Monaco...hotels and condos climb up the steep hills around the bay.
Our life had just been going too well it would seem. Last night Bob went up to see if all was well...around midnight. All was not well as a boat near us was drifting toward us and was a boat length from us. The only option was for Bob to lift the anchor by hand to let us drift away from the other boat and then he started the motor and reset the anchor. That was a bit tense. After that I was up a few times to see if we were okay and we were. That boat was gone this morning before sunrise.
Today we went out looking for a hardware store to find what Bob needed to fix the bilge pump. I wanted to wait for the store at the marina to open but Bob assured me that they would not have what he wanted. So we walked for about 2 hr, found what he wanted, and of course when he checked the store here they had what he wanted. Need I say more. The bilge pump is fixed again and we have a spare. As of this moment everything seems to be working.
Tomorrow we head for Caleta and should be there by early afternoon on Friday.
As for Las Hadas Resort..it has seen better days. The marina looks a bit decrepit, but the golf course seems to be in good shape. I would say that Las Hadas is at 10% occupancy and I say that because we see very few people there.
During our walk this morning we saw many places for sale. A good time to buy I would guess if you were so inclined.
Manzanillo is a large industrial city but even here you see a lot of smoke from across the bay. There is a lot of commercial traffic in this bay as well as big ships anchored.
We have seen little commercial boat traffic so far on this trip but that may change tomorrow.
We are now into month 2 of this trip. In some ways it seems as if we just left Maz and in other ways it seems forever. Travelling is always like that for me.
