Back In Mazatlan


We are now back in Mazatlan, same slip we had before which is nice, and the same neighbours. We made a rather quick trip from La Cruz due to the rather unsettled weather. We did get picked on by one squall just off Chacala. We were about a mile or so out of the anchorage and got hit with 35-40 knots in 80 ft of water on a lee shore. We did manage to make some progress off the shore and ride it out for a  couple of hours until we got into the anchorage and set a stern anchor (but that is a whole other story). we had  really wanted to get close to this area.  

Our next stop was in San Blas at the marina downtown, new marina and we paid about $15 a night. 






Then a 25 hour motor sail / motorboat ride to Mazatlan with winds and waves on the nose.  We met the
 skipper of a power boat called Patty M they also berth at El Cid right behind us. They left San Blas the same time we did only to arrive 12 hours earlier then us.

And yes Debbie is working on pictures.
