We have spent the week exploring the area of Nuevo Vallarta of which Paradise Village Resort and Marina is part of. Paradise Village Marina has 200 slips ranging from 26' to 200' The majority of the boats are power boats and many mega yachts. Our slip is at the base of the harbor which is good since we get a great breeze every day.
This 5 star resort has all the amenities such as swimming pools, restaurants, golf course, and shopping center. While this is nice we find it very touristy. The marina is at the mouth of many canals of which there are many beautiful homes on. It is quite jungly through the canals. There are crocidiles in the canals, so I have been advised not to kayak.
We have been enjoying catching up with our friends Doug and Marcy on Charm. One of the unique features of cruising is that you see people you know all
up and down the coast of Mexico. If we were home traveling up and down the coast we would not know anyone.
We had a special concession dinner last night with our friends on EagerDreamer and Suebee. We have been having a long time discussion (since San Diego) whether the crackling noise heard underneath the boat hull at night was shrimp or whether it was electrolysis. I said it was shrimp. John said it was electrolysis. After much research and much discussion among ourselves and experts John finally conceded. The result was a lobster dinner cooked by John. It was delicious. I hope I can come up with another disagreement, and be right, for another lobster dinner. While the 3 boats, Andanzas, EagerDreamer and Suebee have all been together off and on since October we are all going different courses as the season winds down. Sad.
