El Cid – a real vacation!

We planned to stay just two nights – marina’s are usually our thing. But after one day is was clear we would need to stay longer, this was just too much fun and way to easy! It helped that El Cid had a special on – 7 nights for the price of 5, and the our friends from Yare were also staying the week. Suddenly we were transplanted into a vacation. We had free run of the beautiful resort and fantastic pools. Fynn spent 6 hours in the pool the first day and developed blisters on her toes that didn’t heal until well after we left.  We swam -a lot – visited Mazatland and generally just relaxed. It was quite lovely really and well worth the $35 USD per night. We even paid to have some one wash, polish and wax our hull, top decks and cockpit. I just wasn’t up to the work in the heat and you could beat the price of $250 USD including materials. By the end of the week we were well rested, Asunto was sparkling and we had painted new markers on our anchor chain. We were ready to go!
