Bahia Tenacatita

Here we are in Bahia Tenacatita. This view is from our "Suebee"
On our first side trip in the dinghy we are going on a jungle tour up the canal to the town of Tenacatita. This is the entrance to the canal from the Bahia (bay.)Another view of the canal entrance. It was at this location that Mc Hales Navy (the movie) was filmed in the late 90's. Just beyond the group of people on the right was the pier where the PT Boat was docked.

Here we are going up the canal just before the jungle.

Our friends John and Rosie leading the way.

Now we are in the jungle area. We saw many birds, crabs and a crocodile!

This is the town of Tenacatita. It is hard to tell in this picture, but there are probably 20 restaurants along here, every one of them with a large Carona sign. This street runs along the beach just to the left of the picture.

Beyond the town, we walked down to the beach to an area called the "Aquarium". It is a popular snorkeling spot so naturally that is what we did. Many fish, black and yellow stripped, blue fish, silver fish that swim in "schools" of hundreds and many coral reefs.

It is 7 AM and here we are sitting on "Suebee", drinking coffee in the warm morning air. Are you feeling sorry for us yet?

And then we went to work, preparing our morning appetizers. Looks like John and Rosie are going to dinghy over and help us.
