Mazatlan - November 19, 2009




We crossed the Sea of Cortez with flat seas. We made it to Mazatlan in 26 hours. Coming back into the harbor felt like we had come home. We unloaded all of our supplies from John and Rosie's boat, Serena Ray, and began the job of putting our boat, Andanzas, back together for another cruising season. Andanzas survived the summer months with no problems. It was hot hard work putting canvas back up, putting the sails back on, cleaning the boat, etc., etc.

Mazatlan is a unique cruising community. Many of the cruisers here consider this their home port and have been here for many seasons. There are so many social activities one can participate in. We have been here for 10 days and I think tonight was the first time I cooked dinner at home. It is great to see all of our friends.


We have had fun touring John and Rosie over "Old Town Mazatlan". Sadly John and Rosie have headed south, although we plan to catch up with them later. We attended the local baseball team, Venados, game.




In addition to all of our social activities I have been enjoying water activities with my friends. I kayak most mornings, ride our new bikes in the evening, have learned to paddle board and have gone boogie boarding for the first time. Wally participates as my lifeguard.
