Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

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...

Subasta!

The big event!
I am exhausted!
The big clothing, household goods and toys bazaar!
My back hurts!
The silent and live auctions!
My feet hurt!
The bake sale!
The bake sale that was all sold out and I didn't get to buy anything!
The raffle!
I didn't win a prize!
Wow ~ what a lot of work done by a lot of people!
I have a headache!
And all proceeds for a foundation here for under-privileged children.
IT WAS GREAT!

Here is Annie of "Calliope" helping set up and also picking out some items to buy.





The clothing booth I helped set up and work (from 7:30 until about 3:30).




Loads and loads of donated items!The auctioneers working hard! I can't wait to hear the amount of money raised!

I... fried pickles today. That's all. Damn, y'all are so productive!

Was this put on by just boaties for boaties or was it a local function for the locals to attend?

Suzie and Kirby Townsend said...

Wow, now that looks like fun! Everyone wins, right?

Jim and Heather on Meerkat said...

It's put on by Club Cruceros - www.clubcruceros.org - they take donations from boaters, raffle items from businesses, anyone can purchase (mainly locals buying stuff, but at great prices!) things and all proceeds go to the foundation. There was a lineup of locals outside the gate waiting for it to open! Lots and lots of locals buying clothes. And some you knew were very poor, but at the end all the items are 1 peso each (about 8 cents), so it's all good!
Yes, everyone wins. We get rid of stuff we really don't need, locals get new clothes and things, and the poor kids get food and clothing. Probably 100 boaters worked today. I was too busy to ever really look around. I did go pee twice though!
Uh - fried pickles?

I love this kind of thing. I miss that culture so much. The cruising community is just the best.

That's a great thing you have going there...seems like boaties are the best of people.
