Monday, March 26. After the morning net, we contacted Rene and met him at Nene's Marina to clear in. He handled all the paperwork for us, going to the Port Capt. and Customs. Immigration he had come to us. Total cost including his fee was $122, not bad compared to other countries, about average. His wife also does laundry so we gave him a bag full which he will return tomorrow. After the formalities, friends from Sunny-side Up took us on a walking tour of the town. Lunch in a little local open air restaurant was great – soup, frijole for me and vegetable for Deb, was followed by fish filet for me and fried chicken for Deb, both with rice salad and plantain. They were out of cerveces so we had Agualente which was ice tea with ginger and lime sweetened with “sugar cane honey.” The bill came to $17,500 before tip. Apparently locals do not tip at all, so the girl was very pleased with my $2000 tip. I had just withdrawn over half a million from the ATM so paying it was no problem. It also helps that the exchange rate is 1750 Columbian pesos to 1 US dollar. Hey, it's easy being a millionaire here, but it doesn't last long. After some more sightseeing, we returned to Nene's where we had a beer (only $2,000 each) before taking the dinghies back to our boats. I refilled my fuel tank and took the jerry jugs in to refill and then Deb & I took dink out to the pure white sand over 5' of crystal clear water and just floated for a while to cool off. Apps for dinner after that huge lunch and then some reading before bed. Still don't have internet, but should be able to get it tomorrow.
