Arrived at San Salvador shortly after ten. After endless miles of open ocean, it was a thrill to see land emerge from the sea. We felt almost the way Columbus and his crew must have felt when they first sighted San Salvador in 1492.
The entrance to the marina looked narrow and treacherous, so we dropped anchor outside and paddled in. The water is the most beautiful shade of blue and so clear you can see the bottom 30 or 40 feet below! It's a delightful temperature, too.
The marina wasn't much but walls to tie to, yet they wanted $32 a day plus $10 for electricity and $10 for water! We didn't want to pay that much, so we considered anchoring off Cockburn Town, but the weather was still beautiful, so we finally decided to keep going to Mayaguana Island, another 150 miles. Motorsailed all night.
