El Salvador Rally Heats Up
The second annual El Salvador Rally may be a fledgling event that’s not yet widely know, but there’s one thing that clearly distinquishes it from all others: It’s festivities last for seven weeks! Now that’s what we call a party.
According to organizers Jean Strain and Bill Yeargan, the first batch of participating cruisers arrived last week — 17 boats — and were greeted with the same generous hospitality that impressed last year’s fleet. In addition to chillin’ in the Bahia del Sol pool, enjoying local food and libations, attendees were happy to find that there is now an on-site port office so cruisers no longer have to make the trek to San Salvador to clear in and out.
This year’s rally has garnered 81 entries, some from as far away as Aruba. In the coming weeks, a variety of weekly events and activities will take place as new arrivals continually trickle into port, with the final celebration on May 1. Look for additional reports here and in the pages of Latitude 38. The Rally’s official blog can be found here.
