Gold Coast for now

We have been hanging out on Barra for about a week now to try to figure what is in the wind for Slacker this season. We had planned on going to El Salvador and then Mikes back got out of whack. So we slowed down and hung in Barra, such a great place to meet old and new friends. The marina here has always been one of the most expensive, (and beautiful) in Mexico, around 23.00 per foot per month plus power and water and internet, way beyond a Slacker’s budget. They had a total of 2 boats summer over in the marina last season. They seem to have had a change of heart. Secundino the marina’s manager is offering great deals for the months of May thru Oct. It is about as much as we paid in Marina Mazatlan. And we get full use of the hotel and all its gorgeous amenities. So Slacker has found a home for the time being and we are going to enjoy it!!

It sounds like Barra is the new Maz. Are you going to begin a new Dock 6 there? You need a Slacker Kitty. Enjoy and hope your back gets better Mike!

We really like the photos. Yes you'll definitely need a cat. Did you get my email. If not, I copied it wrong.

Mike & Julie: hi from Love & Luck. Jay & Penni from days gone by. We are over in Florida, waiting for hurricane season. We purchased a boat in Rock Port, Texas, and have been doing the ICW for the last year. We plan on doing the Keys then over to The Bahamas.
