We are still here at the marina. Even though it was totally dark last night, this morning, Barta came to the boat to check us in. The large house at the top of the dock is closed for the season and Barta lives in a small house down the way. It is a little expensive here, 23,000 pesos or about $41 a night. Barta also does laundry which is great. Rich is talking with Manuel about getting fuel.

We walked into town (closer than I thought) and checked it out. There are quite a few hostels as this is a popular tourist place during the summer. It is fairly quiet now. A stop at tourist information yielded a map and directions. We walked around town and then to the 'supermercado' and bought a few items. The owner/operator of the supermercado is also the mayor of the town and the Armada representative so we 'checked in'.

Tomorrow we will explore some more.
