The best laid plans...

Puerto Chiapas, Chiapas, Mexico

We were unable to complete our paperwork for leaving Mexico on Monday.  Apparently some sort of pseudo-holiday that had our Port Captain taking most of the day off.
Today (Tuesday) we were able to visit the Port Authority (pay the API fee), Immigration at the airport where we checked out of the country (pay for the visas we had already paid for), the Port Captain to get our exit permission (pay the port import fee) and finally the marina office to pay for our slip for the last 40 days.  We now have a lot less cash and an the armload of paperwork that will let us leave the country tomorrow morning, as soon as the Navy has a chance to re-inspect the boat - they are supposed to arrive at the boat at 7AM.

Current plan is to be at the entrance to Bahia del Sol in El Salvador by early Friday morning (high tide is at 10:25AM).  The weather looks good, with a strong possibility of some actual wind to blow us down the coast.
