Estero Jaltepeque, El Salvador
Well, the tickets are booked and we are on our way back to Canada in about 10 days, June 2nd to be specific - back to basement living courtesy of the kindness of friends.
Meanwhile, we are trying to take full advantage of the facilities here at the resort, frequently taking the dinghy over to Bahia to use the WiFi and pool and partaking of the odd meal at the restaurant. As usual, there are a few guests around on the weekends but we mostly have the place to ourselves during the rest of the week. There are a handful of other cruisers still hanging around but most, like us, are planning to leave for the summer. The rainy season has definitely started, with rain, sometimes quite heavy, during the night. The days are mainly dry and mostly sunny. Generally it is hot and humid all of the time.
We have been slowly working on a few last-minute boat projects and trying to use up all of the perishable foods onboard. I found a nasty leak in yet another cockpit drain, which has only shown up now due to the arrival of rainy season - for now, I have just plugged it up so we don't have so much water accumulating in the bilge. We still have 3 other drains than can easily handle the rainwater in the cockpit. Just another item to put on the to-do list for if and when we return to the boat.
Yesterday, a few of us decided to go for lunch at one of the stilt restaurants in the estuary, which somehow turned into a full-on pub crawl to various other drinking establishments along the beaches. As far as I can remember, it was a lot of fun - just the sort of last memory of El Salvador that we needed before heading to the frozen north.
Just another typical day in the cruising life...
