Up the Rio Dulce River to Fronteras

For weeks, we have been emailing friends in the Rio Dulce, letting them know that we were getting closer to our goal of entering the river! But today, we talked with them on the VHF radio! It was so good to hear you Peter and Francine!

And surprise, Ed and Benia on Sea Angel, also replied! We have only seen them once since Isla Mujeres, despite being in some of the same anchorages. Although, we have never sailed in really bad conditions this whole trip, the weather in harbour has not been condusive to putting the dingy in the water and going for a visit! But the sun has come out and we will be able to roam at will!

Almost everyone who has been to the Rio Dulce encouraged us to go see it for ourselves. They all stressed what a great lifestyle there is in the Rio for boaters and talked about how much cheaper it is to live than in the US or Canada. They did not prepare us for the majesty of the trip through the cannons to Fronteras. The following pictures speak for themselves.
