After a rest period at Contoy and unable to get a reasonable quote on a tow we set sail again with a destination of Isla Mujeres. 17 miles with no mechanical power and not knowing how we could sail in to the anchorage made us a little uneasy. as we approached the island we contacted a shrimp boat that was being delivered from Florida to jamaica with a fuel stop in isla mujeres they offered to throw us a line and help us in to the anchorage. As we got closer, Marina Paraiso called and told us they would come out and pull us to our slip. I am glad Bill recommended Marina Paraiso the first thing they did after tying our boat to the dock was to bring us both a beer. They said any time they had to tow somone in they always gave them a beer they figure they need it.
