Tuesday, April 17. The morning was again blustery and it was 1100 before we could all get together to plan our exit strategy. Combining everyone's data, we decided that Quito Sueno was not a good stopping point at this time. It was too directly North and might well require motor sailing and it offered no protection from the SW so would necessitate leaving for Vivarillos almost immediately and therefore have no time to enjoy the area. For those reasons, we have decided to relocated to Low Cay tomorrow and leave early Thursday morning for Vivarillos. That will give us protection when the wind swings SW and time to enjoy the reef before needing to move to the Hobbies when the wind swings NW (Vivarillos has no protection from NW and Hobbies have no protection from S, but combining the two we can ride out the Norther that is coming in the Gulf of Mexico without problems and have time to enjoy both anchorages which are only about 8 nm apart.) To that end we called Mr. Bush on VHF and he said for all boats wanting to leave to meet him in his office @ 2:15 to check out. There were four of us including Salida, Silver Sea, Aleppo, and Always. It took about an hour to do the paperwork for all four and then Immigration came and took our passports to stamp out saying he would return them @ 10:00 tomorrow. I was a bit uncomfortable having the passports not in my hand, but what could I do? The four men stopped at a little bar and had a beer looking out over the harbor while the women finished shopping. Then they joined us and we had another beer. We dinghied back to our boats, I loaded some info from our old website onto a stick for others who were headed to Belize to share, loaded the 10,000 books onto Tony's wallet drive, and then went in for a final happy hour at Bamboo. There were a couple new cruisers arriving from the San Blas as well as the regulars. We all had a great time, bid our farewells, and returned to our boats only a bit tipsy.
