Anchored in Tenacatita - Barra - Puerto da la Navidad Marina to Tenacatita 2013

Marine in Barra-Bahiade Navidad at the Grand Isla Navidad Resort. Where is our boat s\v Elegant'sea ?

Middle of March 2013 – Anchored in Tenacatita Mexico

See the big house type boat, well we are right next to it.

 Just before we left our whopping two days in the marina the boat next to us m\y Laura with Chip as the captain, that’s right another Chip gave us six NY steaks. Mighty nice of the fine man!

 We did the half day passage to Tenacatita which is about 15 nautical miles but when it is all said and done then about a half day or more. We had checked the weather among other sources and it was not quite as nice as predicted, the seas were not anyway. But it was 15 kt winds and lumpy seas enough to be taking water over the bow. A slog part of the way.  Still all in all it was nice to be back out in the ocean.

 After we got anchored I jumped on the guitar and sang some songs. And on Fridays there is the mayor’s dinghy raft up which we attended.

 

Debbie made deviled eggs, everyone's favorites!

You bring plates and a plate of food to share, swap DVD’s etc. Because it started to rain we all went on board the M\V Voyager and we sat up top. Quite nice.
 We met some new friends and saw some old friends. Of course we are still:

We swapped boat cards and here are a few.

 The next day Debbie sewed the Shade Trees for the shroud zippers while at anchor. The Sailrite Ultra Feed LSZ-1 Zig Zag sewing machine used little power on the 2000 watt Xantrex inverter.

All in all, a beautiful new anchorage!!
