Bahia del Sol, El Salvador. This estuary is a dangerous entry to the largest river in El Salvador and a hang out for cruisers (sailboats). To get up the river one must brave the breakers and time their approach with the waves. This feat is known as crossing the bar.

  • Way cool! That was my wife and I on Tricia Jean (the first boat in this video). It was a bit stressful, but we had an easy ride compared to some.

    "Actually we came in behind Trisha Jean, Wanderer and RDreamz. It was an awesome feeling to have that wave lift that heavy Alaskason over that bar and surf the boat along. We were going just the right speed to ride the wave for some distance. Good thing that Christopher had crossed bars before with the boat. Right after that where the radio was below and we were above, I got a wham mike so we could hear and use the vhf while manning the tiller!

    Brings back memories. Love Dawn"

  • Thank you for coming to my country. Looks like you were saling under cloudy skies.

    The estuary we call it " Estero La Puntilla " is a nice place to take a nice sun bath when the tide is low. It used to be a "virgen beach" long time ago.

    I hope you've enjoyed your stay. Blessings to a wonderful crew.
