We arrived in El Salvador....!!!

We made it to Bahia Del Sol in El Salvador, Yeah!!!!  After another 230 miles and 42 hours we made it, we left Chiapas around 9:45am after the Mexican Navy came and searched the boat. They bring their dog on board so I we kept Skeeter on a leash and had to put Shiraz in the bathroom, so needless to say they were not happy campers.  After they navy left we pulled anchor and headed out with SV Sunny Side Up right behind us.  We arrived at the entrance around 3am but with there being a large bar you have to cross, we had to circle around till 7am when they sent a jet ski out to guide you across the bar.  It took about 5 minuets, but with lots of anxiety built up watching the waves breaking for 4 hours, I was happy to get across. 

The Jet Ski guiding us in
We saw only about 7.5 knots on the speed, Bill said that we had one of the easiest crossings.
There is an awesome beach that skeeter loves to run and run on in the morning, especially with his girlfriend Erin
