Journal Entry – February 19, 2005 – On the Road Again

Author: Scott and Pam

We got up early to get the boat ready to leave Tenacatita. Lynn Marie and her thirteen year old daughter Sophie came by around 11:30 in their dinghy, we were heading up the river again to Maria’s Mobile Tienda (another creative way to provision). Maria apparently drives the ten hour round trip to Guadalajara to go to Costco and brings back groceries for the cruisers to purchase. She arrives in Revelcita around 1:00 each Saturday and sets out coolers and boxes full of produce, meats, cheese and old favorites (for some people) Mac & Cheese. Once again we were hoping for some fresh food for the first couple of days of the rest of journey to Ziuatenejo. Almost everyone goes up the river on Saturday for lunch and to visit Maria. This was Lynn Marie’s and Sophie’s first trip, Sophie drove, she did an excellent job navigating the river foliage and the much heavier Saturday dinghy and panga traffic. She was a speed demon on the way back, it was tons of fun. We bought some chicken breast and veggies for salad, yum. When we got back to the anchorage we headed over to Reba, the boat that was bringing pastries from Barra de Navidad from the French Baker. We ordered some croissants and a baguette, what a treat. Know wonder it seems there are cruisers who have moved in to Tenacatita. We pulled anchor at 5:30 pm, again meeting our criteria to be under way before dark. It was a special departure, there were several people who wished us bon voyage and even came out to take pictures as we headed out into the sunset. Ahhhh…. Our first night under way again has gone well. Our watch schedule got a bit goofy, a big boat decided to grace us with its presence just as Scott was going to bed. There has not been tons of wind tonight, we have been motoring sailing most of the night.
