We are now moored in Barillas Marina Club in El Salvador. I was not really interested in going there at first because I was concerned about humidity, bugs, and the fact that we were going to 8 miles up a river. Well, I was wrong. This place is great. It has a tricky entrance. You have to cross a sandbar where it is very shallow and the water breaks on both sides of the boat. But the marina sends a panga to guide you in and we got though without any problems. By midmorning we were tied up at a mooring, had completed all the official paperwork, and were sipping a beer by the pool. Although remote and back in the mangroves, this club is beautifully maintained. It has a store, laundry, bar and restaurant, fuel dock, and a boatyard. They sent a diver over to change our underwater zinc anodes that were all nearly gone.
Here is the Admiral driving us in.
The fuel dock and a fleet of shrimpers tied up just past the club.
Looking the other way, there is Saeta on her mooring.
This is a bonus shot. You should have seen it early, but that´s life. It is a sunset taken at Puerto Escondido (I think).
Volcanos inland from the mangroves along the channel on the way up to the Marina.
