Toe injury #748

This toe is a gluten for punishment. No sooner had the last injury from licking the port light healed when I kicked the door. Luckily I had slippers on and only suffered this ugly blood blister.

It's all fun and games till someone loses a toe!

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is now on Noonsite

Posted on Mon 27 February 2012 in Destinations - Mexico

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle was notably absent from Noonsite. This is the primary cruiser destination for those who anchor and it wasn’t on the site at all. I sent in a draft to them and now it’s on the map so to speak.

We are waiting for a beauty pagent to start at the marine amphitheater. The yellow balloon holders are all supporters of a contestant named Mar. We totally stumbled onto this and we ate completely fascinated!

Rain drops on the V-berth hatch

We just had the boat washed. We have two guests in town. I guess that makes us to blame for the first measurable rain we've seen since before Thanksgiving. I think the Museo del Tequilia y del Mariachi is going to get visited today!


Buoy out of place

Posted on Fri 03 February 2012 in Destinations - Mexico

Large swells came through the anchorage today. It was enough that we even moved the boat. One of the channel markers broke free and is now on the beach!!

So, What's the Plan....

Posted on Sat 28 January 2012 in Destinations - Mexico

There is a saying that cruising plans are written in the sand on the beach at low tide, so keep that in mind.

Right now we're in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in Banderas Bay. The biggest city you've heard of nearby is Puerto Vallarta, abour an hour away by bus. We plan to stay in this area until at least the 1st of March and the head South some more before we turn back North and head into the Sea of Cortez for the summer. Heading North is important because you don't want to be in this area during Hurricane season which is the same as the Gulf of Mexico.

After that, your guess is as good as mine!
