After a blistering fast sail up the straight between Cozumel and the maiin land we are tied up in the El Cid marina in Puerto Morelos. Coming through the straight, we had no wind, the motor ticking over at 2500 rpms and we were making 8.5 knots over ground. Nothin like 3 knots of favorable current to get you where you want to go in a hurry. I could get used to that type of sailing.

Puerto Morelos is a cute little town, somewhat reminiscent of La Cruz near Puerto Vallarta. We are halfway between Playa del Carmen and Cancun. The marina is very nice, the staff very friendly, and the facilities at the resort are first class. Some of our neighbors here say this is the best marina in the western Caribbean. Of course all of the niceties comes at a price.

We are meeting some friends here next week. After they go, we are thinking about hoping on a plane and flying to another country just east of here for a few days. That should be a very interesting trip.
