Today we are both finally feeling better after trying some pills that kills stomach bugs, that a fellow cruiser gave us. We took a bus ride for 8 pesos (13 pesos=$1) to a big Mega grocery store about 8 miles up the highway and got as much groceries as we could carry. The bus ride was fun seeing all the different places along the highway.
We are still hearing lots of storys about the Hurricane force weather bomb that came through here 3 days before we got here. There was a number of shredded fore-sails. Apparently the wind would get under the rolled up part higher up the forestay, and then as it got a better purchase would roll out a bit more until it shredded the sail. Lots of damaged canvas work on the boats at docks. Out in the anchorage most boats dragged slowly towards the beach but luckily by the time several had touched the beach the wind changed direction and blew them back off.
A number of the boats ran into each other trying to stay off the beach as they could not see a thing.
We will probably do a short trip South maybe as far as Manzinillo in a few days and then come back here for a month. Dorothy is flying back to Toronto for a week on March 14 to see her father.
