Mazatlan!

After a few days at anchor in Los Frailles where we swam, dove, snorkelled and enjoyed a bonfire and potluck on the beach, we crossed the Sea of Cortez. After an excellent sail, we arrived in Mazatlan at 8:30 pm and braved the narrow entrance into the El Cid marina. There are several Canadians here and probably eight or so Bluewater Cruisers. Last night we enjoyed dinner a Fat Fish, a local rib restaurant, with three other Bluewater boats thus experiencing our first real BURP! A great time was had by all. We'll be here in Mazatlan until the first week of January, then we'll be heading back into the Sea of Cortez.

Hi Guys,

Welcome to your first port of extended stay.

We are watching, praying for and missing you. Have a very Merry Christmas. Wish we could make it down but we weren't able to pull it off. The funds have gone into the purchase of an Infared Sauna for our home instead. If you can't get the rays from the sun, it's the next best thing.

Love ya all.
