Well, our arrival at Laguna was not without some excitement. It is very shallow and is somewhat infamous for that reason. To get over this the management produce charts that show the minimum depth every hour of every day. So in consultation with the management we agreed we could arrive at about 1300 (1430 was too late and anywhere before 1300 was a bonus – ie deeper). So we duly arrive at 1230 – beauty. BUT the charts are wrong aren’t they to quote management, “they’re pretty out of date, those ones !” , thanks!! Well we were supposed to have 1.7m of water but in the main channel at one stage we had 900mm!! Which means we were pushing 200mm of mud out of the way as we went. We got through that to arrive into the marina harbour keeping one boat width off each of the sea walls as instructed – but the last one was too much we could not get across the channel to the other side and slide majestically into the mud in the middle of the marina harbour (the locals call this mud bank, Hope Island and some mug “stops” there at least weekly). With a falling tide there was nothing to do but shut down engines have a beer, a snooze and do a few jobs until the tide came in enough at about 1600 and we could drag ourselves off. I’d like to tell them what do to with those bloody charts!! Anyway we docked, with lots of help and friendly locals and even had a drink and meal in the little marina bistro Sunday night. Today, Monday we worked on the boat until about midday and then we were driven up to the Racquet Club where we were able to laze away the rest of the day beside the pool – good one. Tomorrow we might do the same for a while before heading to the airport and the trip home for the WEDDING of the year!
