It was much better in terms rolling. The bay was quiet. There were a couple of nice marinas there. One is the Clarke's Court Bay Marina run by Chris and Barbara on MoonSail. They also run the Coconut Telegraph at 8 a.m. in the mornings where cruisers can check in and announce their whereabouts. We attended the cruisers' potluck which they hosted on Saturday night. Had our first brownies in many a moon. Boy, were they good.
It was difficult getting to town though from this location in Lower Woburn. The bus ride was a little longer and one could only get the return bus from the downtown bus station as all of the buses are full along the route. The good news? The bus station is next door to the fish market. We found tuna and bangamary there for $7.50/lb. ec. Delicious fresh fish! Also, the market is nearby where they sell delicious fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, our favorites.
While anchored there, we met a Venezuelan and his family. They offered us a ride as we trekked up a steep hill to wait for the bus. Jose and and his wife Elizabeth have a home in Puerto La Cruz, where we're heading. However, they say Venezuela is not safe; so they prefer to raise their son and daughter in Grenada, a very safe place. We hope to get together when we are all in Venezuela as they will be going there later in the summer.
