For a ‘variety’ of reasons the humans have gotten restless and moved marinas on the Rio Dulce river of Guatemala.
Why not when there are so many marinas and anchorages to choose from.
We were in the lovely Tortugal Marina (see a full description in an earlier post)
Tortugal Marina is the place to go if you like it a bit quieter. Clean river water for swimming, nature hikes and the staff that take great care of boats left unattended.
But the human’s decided we need a change so we have moved down river, across from the town of Fronteras, to the Marina Nana Juana.
There are a lot more cruisers ‘on their boats’ here, and as a result, there are a lot more opportunities to join into social activities.
Did I forget to mention the lovely big pool? Unfortunately the pool is the only area dogs are not allowed.
The Marina, and associated resort, do try to be a bit ‘up scale’.
But the staff are warm and friendly and will go out of their way to help you with any job you are up to on the boat.
The restaurant is open long hours, 7:30am-9pm and, along with the BBQ area, they have built a designated cruisers chill out palapa.
So we will hang out here for the remainder of the hurricane season and finish the last of the boat jobs between social activities.

It looks like a great resort, especially the large pool.
Looks very nice indeed! Wish we could join your there as well, but looking forward to our next visit in Dec.
The river is lovely, but nothing beats the beach. Missing endless sunset and sea breezes. Also going through serious snorkeling withdrawal!
Can not wait until we ‘do’ Christmas in Roatan. It is going to be EPIC!
Hi Quinny, my tip would be to get the adults crazy drunk and then tell them to go skinny dipping in the pool and bring you with them, what could possible go wrong.
Good news is we now have a friend for you and I will send an emailed picture, 8 week old lab pup called Maisie, she is adorable… Good luck with the boat repairs guys and look forward to the next update.. Xx stay safe xx
They did the drunk dip in the pool with me at Ortega Landing Marina pool in Florida. So been there and done that! Got the river to swim in at my door step here, so I do not want to ‘mess with my curls’ by introducing chlorine to the mix.
Maisie is a bit young for me, at the moment, but I can tell she is going to be a real looker. I will expect regular up dates on the progress of my future wife!
Good luck with a new ‘baby’ in the house. My humans tell me the first 3 months are the worst!
