Barra de Navidad almost a week

Cloudy weather again.  How strange it is to have cloud for more than a day.
Today we tried to get money from the ATMs in town.  No luck as one had no money and the other just likes to grab your card for about 5 minutes (scarey).
The French baker was around so more Danish and baguette.   So good.
Tomorrow we will head to Melaque (only a few miles) where there is a real bank.  Bob needs to buy something for his saw as he is about to cut another hole in the boat to out in a vent for the propane.
The mosquitoes are being held at bay by our stinky coils which burn all night.
Big find yesterday...Wine for about $3.50/bottle!!!   Of course that just means we can drink more wine.
This afternoone we will dinghy over to a seaside restaurant and spend a few hours there eating and of course taking a look around the tiny village of Colimillo. 
I downloaded the works of Jack London and am finding that he has written much more than what I would call his 'Northern Stuff".  I am still working on the life of Gandhi as it requires more concentration to read and absorb. 
Once more yesterday we had a runaway boat.  It is a little sailboat that seems to be on its own.  The anchor is a joke.  Last evening as it was wondering around the lagoon, a group herded it into the back of the lagoon.  It should stick there and I mean stick in the mud!!
Boat people are very helpful.  I guess   we all know that someday we may need help so it is a good idea to 'pay it forward'.
It is afternoon now so I can have a cold beer.  Cheers to all of you.
