Marina Puesta Del Sol

Initially, I planned to spend only 2 days at Marina Puesta Del Sol. Two days stretched into 6 days.

Marina Puesta Del Sol is situated in a beautiful sheltered tropical lagoon surrounded by palm trees and looming volcanoes. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly.

No expense has been spared; the marina has all the amenities cruisers could ever wish for, including 45 first class slips with 110v/30 amp and 220v/50 amps of power. The each slip also has pure drinking water, wifi wireless internet, cable TV, dock box stowage. The wifi internet is glorious! One can sit in the peace and tranquility of their boat (floating office) and constructively get a lot of work done.

The clubhouse has hot water showers, laundry machines, internet / fax and full service bar and restaurant. The estuary of Aserradores is a pristine natural harbor with white sandy beaches, palm trees and volcanoes hovering in the distance. Winds are predominantly out of the east and northeast. Marina Puesta Del Sol is an ideal place to leave your boat for an extended period of time while visiting the many spectacular sights of Nicaragua.

Puesta Del Sol is a diamond in the rough. Word is traveling fast, there really is such a thing as paradise. Four new arrivals sailed in yesterday from points north; SV Ocean Lady, SV Sarana, SV Batwing, SV Seaquestor.

Friends Jan and Dwight on SV Mira departed Puesta Del Sol this morning for Mexico. Jeff and Stephanie are leaving their lovely SV Musetta for a few months and flying home to the states for the summer.

I untie SV Vesper in about two hours and will make a bee line for San Juan Del Sur 130 miles south. The general plan will be to coastal pilot down the coast, weather permitting, with one or two rest stops along the way.

I’ll have a full report upon arrival in Bahia San Juan.
