We arrived at Tenacatita early on Wednesday morning. The harbor was empty except for a Mexican navy boat. We anchored out in the middle not too far from a resort and a spa seen in the photo below. We wanted to give the navy plenty of room.
The first day here we just relaxed, rested, read books, did generally nothing.
The next day we got out our new inflatable kayaks. We bought these new toys at REI when we were back in Seattle in April carting them down on the airplane and lucky to get the green light going through customs. Now we had time to try them out. They seems to inflate fairly well but we don't have quite the right connector for one of the fittings so probably not inflated to optimum. We also found that the paddles which come apart into 4 pieces, did not assemble as we thought. The paddle ends are either incorrect or they swelled in the heat. Now they are on to stay and our 4 piece paddles are now just 2 piece.
Anyway, we had fun paddling around and we stopped by to visit one of the boats in the anchorage.Lo and behold it is SV Storm Bay of Hobart. We were first introduced to Margie and Chris by Paul and Suzette of SV Altair in Seattle. This is the first time we have seen them since. We enjoyed a lovely dinner and conversation with them the following evening. They are also headed to South America so we will have company.
