Oasis is in Tenecatita

We left Chamela yesterday morning with "Aurora" headed to Careyes - a "pocket" anchorage. It's a very beautiful LITTLE anchorage. There are gorgeous homes built into the side of the hill. The anchorage had 3 large boats in there and there was no room for us - so we just did a drive-thru. We went on to Tenecatita Bay. This is an absolutely beautiful bay. There are about 15 - 20 other boats here. Some are really huge (200+ feet). The anchorage is so protected that it almost feels like you're at a dock at night. We're here with "Aurora, Brandon, Monju, & Ketching Up." We plan on staying here until the end of January, when we'll head to Barra de Navidad (15 miles away). There is a river here that has become somewhat famous for the Jungle River Ride. We went with 3 other dinghy's today. It's about an hour ride up a river to the actual town of Tenecatita, where there are several palapa restaurants and a few tiendas. The kids had a great time! The next time we get some internet access, we'll post the pictures. After the river ride we visited with "Brenndon" and took dinghy tours of the huge boats anchored here. The biggest has 5-6 levels, two big cranes for pulling things aboard - they actually had two laser sailboat in the bay with their own instructor in a 20+ ft dinghy. Tomorrow we plan to blow up the kayaks and go tour around some more.
Our current position is: 19 deg 17.92'N; 104 deg 50.12W.
