Xcalak Mexico

This might not have been such a good idea to stop here. The anchorage once again was very shallow and we did not venture to far in from the cut in the reef. We had intended to clear into Mexico in this little town and we got in early enough that they should still have been in the office, they we not. We spoke with someone that indicated that it was unpredictable when the office was open. We had no intention of staying and loosing our weather window to move north so no checking in for us here. Ashore we were getting bit up by no see ums and mosquito's. We tried to take shelter in a local restaurant for some Mexican cuisine and a coldie but the bugs were just as bad on the upstairs patio as they were down on the street and the food was a joke. We ordered Fajitas and burritos. The burritos were a folded flour tortilla with a thin slice of cheese inside, the fajitas were the same with the addition of a thin slice of ham added in. We sucked down our beers and made a mad dash for the pier to escape the persistent bugs. Back at the boat we made a real dinner without the bugs company. 32NM 4 1/2 hours sailed final 2 hours.
