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...

P.S. Cruising Gang From Years Past

There is a tienda at the outer anchorage in Tenacatita now!
With FOOD!
BEER!
BREAD!
VEGETABLES!

And about 17 different brands of hot sauce.
No more hitch hiking to Rebalcito or dinghying across the bay to La Manzanilla needed.

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle

We had a great hora feliz that went on until 9 pm with Evan and Flossie of "Jambo" at Punta de Mita,
then headed in the next day to our old stomping grounds of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.

La Cruz has changed.

Huge changes.
Instead of the small panga breakwall, there is a giant marina with gigantic slips.
Most of them empty.

There is a huge Mega store in Bucerias ~ what used to be known as Commercial.
Incredible products and produce!
We had a blast in there yesterday...

Hotels, condos, houses and tall buildings are everywhere.
Golf courses and green beautiful landscaping with fountains and walls.
Totally different than the bay I remember...

Jim and I enjoyed a nice dinner out with Dave and Kellie of "Sweet Lorraine".


I had my fill of pozole, quesadilla and some other thing...



There seems to be more wildlife now.


And the sunsets are still beautiful!







Still lots of dogs.








And now to shock Ray, Lucy, Kirby and Suzie ~ the marina and anchorage at La Cruz!



"Meerkat" is marked with the "v".





Today we are planning on a daysail across the bay and back out to Punta de Mita to anchor.
Then early, early we will head South around Cabo Corrientes towards Chamela, Tenacatita, Melaque and Barra de Navidad!
