Back in PLC

We left El Ocoulto the following day and plan was to anchor the last night in El Farro. We were shocked to see at least 30 boats in there, plus three rows of moorings have been added into the cove, leaving barley room for us to anchor. One guy swam way outside the bay and a 30 foot speedboat running about 30 knots almost ran him over. At least 5 more boats came in and more were underway, so we pulled anchor and left it was getting way too crowded for us. We were so close to PLC that we decided to
head back and anchor in front of Maremares and that is what we did. Our guest went early into town to take care of their ticket problems. The travel agent refunded their money immediately and made sure they had reservations for their flight back to Caracas which they then picked up at the Acerca office themselves, glad it went that smooth. We spent one more night in front of Maremares, then moved into a slip in the Bahia Redonda Marina. We have a few more things to do, washing the boat, even hired
a guy to clean all the stainless, took him 1 1/2 days and cost us 26 bucks, not bad. Sid will install the bow protector and the welding shop is making a few more things for us, then it's off towards Trinidad. I will update the Blogg when we leave (approx 10 days)
