We toured the hotel grounds and tried the pool at Las Hadas. We visited the large market in Manzanillo called Commerciál. Sort of a combination of Walmarts and Food King. Everything imaginable from hardware to fresh produce.

Because of the industry in Manzanillo, Las Hadas is not very clean. There is always a dark, gritty residue on the boat and we're constantly cleaning. We were invited to a cocktail party onboard "Hard Hat". Met many new friends and swapped boating stories. Ric and Monika went back to California and we took the boat back to Barra de Navidad. We'll return to California and Colorado for about a month. When we return to Barra we'll begin our trip north to Mazatlan.
