First, we did a day/night passage to Bahia del Sol and had to anchor outside the “bar” entrance to the harbor to await high tide and the local guide. The “bar” can have large waves, shallow spots and is NOT recommended to enter without a proper guide. Our first order of business was to see if the “tire/grid” system at Island Marine could float us at “high tide”. Carlos who works for Island Marine (Murray Barrett…currently in CANADA is the owner) said……not so fast.
You can see the mud Murry thought we were going to sit in. Alex, his mechanic and young sailor also from Canada and Carlos were already looking for a Plan B.
