The View From Above

Tomorrow morning we will head out of the marina and go down to Stone Island and anchor for a night.
Then do an overnighter to San Blas / Mantenchen Bay area.
The weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate for Isla Isabella for us this time...
This is to show you where we were, are and will be...
Here is an overview of Mazatlan, with the Old Harbor at the bottom where we enjoyed the lovely anchor drills at midnight and the marinas in the estuary up towards the top of the photo ~ the area with the round island.Next, the view of the narrow, skinny and sometimes intimidating entrance (ask us about the time we surfed "Thistle" into this entrance...) to Marina El Cid, Singular and Marina Mazatlan.
We are docked by the X at Marina Mazatlan.This is a close up of the Old Harbor and Stone Island.
We were anchored at the X for two nights before we went in to the marina.
The asterisk shows where we will anchor tomorrow night.Off we go to the wild blue yonder, where internet may be slightly sporadic!
