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!!
