The Friday night raft-up

For the past several years cruisers have appointed a "mayor" in the Tenacatita anchorage.   The honor has been traded off between two boats in recent years -- one having the honor in the first part of the season and the other taking over during the last.  Sometimes there's even a third mayor if the season lasts longer or the mayor moves on.  Every Friday evening there's a dinghy raft-up.  People from most all the boats anchored here prepare some food to share, bring their own drinks, bring boat cards to distribute, books and DVDs to trade or give away.  Everyone introduces themselves -- it's a nice way to meet other cruisers.  So last night we had the raft-up and Rita on Overheated announced she is the mayoress, not the mayor.  Her husband Darrell has had the honors for many years but tired of it so Rita stepped up to the plate and did a fine job of getting all the boats securely rafted and organizing the entire event.  For cruising friends who are checking our blog, we've also connected with Roger and Karen on Meridien and will share a van ride with them today to La Manzanilla.

Good weather news:  Sunny skies overhead!
