After a good meal and a night’s sleep, I felt much better. I
went to town and hit the supermarket. Then I put fifteen gallons of fresh water
in my tank (free), swapped my empty five gallon jug of drinking water for a
full one (cost less than a dollar), and bought ten gallons of diesel (about
$15). Things are cheap here.

There are fresh fruit smoothie shops everywhere, and the
most amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. The people are lovely, and parts of
town are quite pretty – the houses are painted bright colours, there are parks
and beautiful ocean views.
After two days I felt fully stocked again and ready to move
on, so I set off to Salinas, thirty miles east. After a beautiful sail in calm
seas I arrived at a nice anchorage with a hotel, marina, beach and clear water.
I will stay here for a couple of days, before heading to Boca Chica.
