Mazatlan in my rear view mirror

Yep, we finally got out. It wasn’t easy but we did it. Oh, it was easy enough backing out of the slip. The trouble began earlier when we were thinking about all of the good times and good friends (2 & 4 legged) we have  there. We have made Mazatlan our home for 5 seasons and you get comfortable when you stay somewhere that long and it’s hard to say goodbye.

Dia de los Muertos




After 1 week in the boat yard we got back in the water just in time to enjoy the Dia de los Muertos march here in old Mazatlan.  Every year we march with the crowd around the center of town, chase the donkey carts and the free Pacifico beer.  The crowds were bigger than ever this year and the costumes much more elaborate.   It is always a fun tradition.
