Livingston Guatemala

November 12 2008. After the fisherman came into the anchorage Gil went over and got us some fresh shrimp for the freezer. Once they were cleaned we headed into Livingston to clear out. We were a little bit worried because we lost or misplaced or entry papers. With thoughts of steep fines and extra paper work we entered the Port Captians office and found out everything was cocumented on their computer. Whew! From there it was top immigration and then to Customes. Wxcept they had gone to lunch a little bit early so we spent 1 and half hours chatting with a fellow by the name of Gerry. Gerry was originly from Australia and about 21 years ago was visiting Livingston when he met the love of his life at a resturant there and never left. He and his wife operate a tour business now. Once we got our clearance papers we pulled up our hook and went about 10 miles to Punta Manabique int the shelter of the Peninsula. We doupp our anchor around 6pm. The moon was full with a star filled sky and it was wonderful to have the open water around us.
