If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Will "No Fumar" Lead to "No Perros"?
Aha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Mexico is no longer allowing smoking in bars and restaurants!I love it! It's about time. But hopefully they will continue to allow dogs. Dogs add flavor.
That is such good news. A couple of bars in SC[all of them actually] would get unbearably smokey and a lot of smokers [90% gringits] would leave their ciggies burning in the ashtrays.
I actually found that very few Mexicons smoked ciggies. I think it's because they smoke the other stuff before coming to work and smoking ciggies after doing that is like drinking anti-freeze after a good glass of wine. But the gringits still smoked and now they won't be able to.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooo. This kind of policy is good for all involved because it encourages folks to stop, too. I am sure that fewer people smoke in the UK these days now that the price of a packet of fags is around the $12 mark.
We cruised Mexico's West Coast for 3 years on our prior boat, "Thistle" a Columbia 50. Went back to California in 2000 and bought the "new boat" in 2004. We then spent a year and a half cruising in Mexico. We just did the "Baja Bash" ~ sailed up the outside of Baja and returned to SoCal! We are We are now back to work for awhile...
A thought we say to ourselves everyday:
"You'll only regret the things you didn't do".
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
"Life is either a daring adventure or Nothing." ~ Helen Keller
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." ~ John A. Shedd
"Make it happen." ~ Alan Burg of the sailing vessel Toshal
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away." ~ Anonymous
“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.” ~ Rabbi Hyman Schachtel
"Make 'someday' today." ~ From inside a Dove candy wrapper
