January 9
As the marina office and port captain's offices are closed on the weekend, today was the day to do that business. After we paid and finally were in possession of a key that lets you on the dock and into the washrooms, we headed to the port captain's office only to find it had been relocated. Trying to find it was interesting, but after a few meanderings there it was by the fish market.
Then it was off to buy provisions. One little store is remarkable in what it sells and for its great prices. After all that it was time for lunch. Enrique's restaurant had moved down the street so off we went (all 30 m) to see his new venue. The restaurant is well cared for and has a friendly helful staff. They had mahi mahi as one of the fish dishes. The food was excellent. Most meals come with rice, potatoes, garlic toast and a salad. The fish serving is large and can be ordered to your taste. We always have it done in garlic and grilled.
Later I wandered into a little store only to find it had lovely ladies wear. This year I left my cottons at home (as when cotton gets wet it seems to stay that way) so I was looking for shorts and tops in cotton blends. They had just what I wanted in the line of shorts and top. Success.
Bob spent part of his day tearing the boat apart. How novel! He checked the autopilot, and found nothing amiss. Similarly he could not find the ghost in the antennae.
La Cruz Marina has a bonfire night on Mondays. Off we all went to a lovely evening around the fire. You can buy hot dogs, beer and wine if you so desire which we did desire! A full moon, light breeze, sparkling ocean reflecting the moon made this almost too good to be true.
