Blogs from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, North America - page 12

Well, I'm trying to put these photos on this blog, and hopefully I have a good strong connection, it will work. Before I do that, I will give you a little sampling of the crusing life....Not cocktails in the cockpit. Today we are getting ready to leave La Cruz, and it's non too soon. I think we overstayed our visit, but when Robin had to replace the steering cables, I knew it would be a few days. The weather is HOT and MUGGY in the mornings before the breeze fills in, but then when the breeze fills in, the seas become rough and we always get wet coming into the beach or back out to the boat. We are slowly learning to take care of business ashore in the morning. It's taken us ,, hmmmm, let ... read more

Hello everyone. Still haven't got all the photos on that I would like., so we have a connection on the boat right now and I will try to add a few more. We have some awful greasy photos too.,, not the nice Margaritas in the cockpit ones, but a big project that is being undertaken by sailorboy, Robin, replacing the steering wheel cables. We have had some really strong winds in the afternoon, and so every afternoon, we just hope that the anchor holds, it's a little unnerving at times, but that's life at anchor. Anyhow, today Robin had to go into Puerto Vallarta to get some cable, and he asked if I wanted to go, I said "no, I've had plenty of bus rides for a while", so I decided to stay on the boat. ... read more

Hello Everyone, Well, I thought I would wait a while before I write about our time here. The basic town is simple, somewhat dusty, like most small Mexican villages. They do have some streets that are cobblstone which definitely stops a lot of dust, but not all, especially the outlying areas. There are so many Canadians living here year round, the small Mexican town atmosphere (like Turtle Bay) is non-existent! There are some nice eateries catering to those gringos, but can be expensive. The food here is good, but the prices are a little like the US, I feel due to the influx of so many gringos. There are alot of whiteheads here. Robin says to me, "Am I like these people?" YEAH! I think so !!! We have met some nice people here, but for ... read more

Hello everyone. It's been a long and interesting 16 days to reach Banderas Bay, specifically we are sitting at achor in La Cruz, a soImewhat small fishing village with lots and lots of gringos living out their retirement here. I am on the boat and getting free wi-fi from a fancy hotel on shore, so I will write swiftly before the tide drops and I lose my connection. Side note: Yesterday I took the laptop into the beach to a resturant with wi-fi. Was writing along for over an hour, and as I was saving the text, the internet just turned off! I was quite upset, let me tell you. So here I am again, hopefully I can get in all the little stories before it gets dropped again. Ahh, the life of a vagabond. As ... read more
