At 8:00 this morning I went and met with the marina manager and figured out the bill. I told him that we wanted to go down the Jardines de Reina and then to Cienfuegos and he said the Guardia de la Frontera would have my paperwork ready as soon as I paid the bill. That, however, required going in to Trinidad to find a bank. There was a taxi waiting who initially wanted $25.00cuc, but agreed to $20.00cuc which is what we paid before. Sandy & I went to town while Will & Deb stayed at the boat and did laundry with the marina's water. In the bank, my Panamanian credit card worked fine $1.00cuc $1.04USD (no 10% surcharge). Sandy also changed some USD, but did have to pay the surcharge. Next we told the driver we needed to buy tomatoes, onions, & peppers. HE took us to several 'legumbrerias' and we eventually got everything but the tomatoes - wrong season. It was sort of like Bocas 15 years ago when there was no place that had everything you wanted, but if you went to enough places you could get what you needed. Back at the marina, I paid my bill ($331.00cuc for 2 weeks) and got our papers to leave. Leaving was much less dramatic than arriving (thankfully!) I got the engines warmed up and then walked around the two fingers casting off lines until we were free then hopped back on and drove off. Getting out of the marina was easy as we were already pointing the right way. The shallows were another story. With a bow watch on each bow, I sometimes got competing directions as to which way to turn as both thought their side looked too shallow. We were about mid tide falling, so not a good time to go aground. At one point the depth meter read 4.3 (we touch at 4.3) then it immediately jumped to 11.6 which really meant I had stirred up mud and it was now useless. We did get through without stopping. The rest of the motor (absolutely no wind) was easy -.out through the well buoyed channel and then along the edge of the reef where the water dropped from 32' to 1532' in one contour line! I tried trolling with the cedar plug and just was we were coming up over the edge to 32', I got a strike. Turned out to be a 3' barracuda, that fortunately I was able to get off the hook and let go easily. Approaching the island, we eased in slowly as depths rose 12' - 10' - 8' - 6' (it is now low tide, so that is OK) and we were able to drop the anchor right in a sandy spot. It took immediately. The island looks interesting - several small beaches. A beach bar that the cruising guide says serves food but no drinks?! and supposedly good snorkeling on the other side. I think we will stay here a day or two.
