Good by to Guatemala
We said our goodbyes to the good people at Mar Marina. Scarlet the spanish and english speaking manager talked Gilbert into buying suction cups so I can clean the bottom of the boat easier. The day was sunny and hot as we motored through the Golfete towards Livingston. Gil had a few minor ajustments to do on the new propeller shaft he installed and we were on our way. As we left the Golfete and entered the Rio Dulce you could feel the rythem of the river. Poeple in their pangas fishing with nothing more than a hook and line some for sustanance and some for income. It is a simple way of life and the people we saw looked happy. Coming into Livingston my heart was filled with well being when I saw the expanse of open water in the Caribean. I missed this alot in the Rio where we were closed in by the mountians and the water was a dirty green color. Out in the open waters there is a nice breeze even when it is hot.
