Thurs Apr 10Yesterday we motor sailed the whole way and we managed to somehow dodge a good brewed up storm along the way. It might have had something to do with the panic of not having the storm covers installed and the frenzy of installing them underway when we saw the ugliness in front of us. Once we got them in place and remaining gear lashed down, it all drifted off to the side and we had calm seas the rest of the way.
We got into the anchorage right as predicted, converted
over to lounge mode, and enjoyed the evening in the anchorage among a few other large sailboats and a few powerboats on anchor. We couldn't fit in the actual marina if we wanted to. It is filled with superfishing powerboats. There might be some sort of tournament going on, or perhaps just the market down here. There is quite the parade out in the mornings, and back in at sunset.We spent the day over at the Mariott lounging around the pool. It was nice. REALLY nice. The pool is not just a big hole in the ground with chairs around it.
It is more of a long narrow snaking channel that winds itself around several sculpted patio areas with each one being diffferent, exotic planters, and under foot bridges. While floating around, there are alcoves designed in to sit and chat, a jet section like a jacuzzi, a bigger pool with a v-ball net stretched across, a section with waterfalls, and exentually you will find the swim-up bar.Where in the world are we today?
Here are a few handy g-maps that give the rough idea.

Whew. Either lots goes on when you're sailing, or the boring stuff gets condensed out. Either way, thanks for the update. YOu are in some really little lattitudes.
So they just let you jump in the pool at the Marriott? That's nice :)
I expect a lot of people speak English if you're near a hotel like that. I've never heard of Los Suenos, but I guess they have.
Glad you missed the storm the other night. Enjoy your stopover ;)
The marina charges us $40 a day to tie up the dink. I guess they have an arrangement with Mariott and they have a shuttle to ferry people back and forth.
It makes sense. If we are in the resort, we are eating at their facilities(which is a bit expensive), drinking their drinks etc.

Have you turned professional photographer? Or is it just difficult to take a bad picture in those surroundings?
I love the sunset shot with Paula in the chair - life is good! :)
Nothing interesting going on at this end. The trash still gets picked up on Wednesdays and the mean old Street Sweeper whines through on Thursdays. SOS (Same old... :)
It is truly amazing how the day gets filled up. Dunno if it's the mental state of the being, or the fact that that there is always stuff to take care of. It's a very popular Q: What do you do all day? (I'll have to take notes and share)
Been chatting with lots of fun people. Here in the resort, it's mainly English. Outside, still quite a bit. Today we ran into a family from Irvine. Yesterday was a fam from Georgia. Out on the boat, it's a tighter community and the degree of separation is freakishly small.
Pro Pho? Umm... not really, just playing around. You should see the ones that get tossed. Last few days have been difficult using gray overcast skies. Thanks tho-
