Mazatlan
Some light sailing and much motoring brought us to El Cid Marina. . A resort with its bars, pools and restaurants, we treated ourselves to Christmas and New Years Eve here. A favourite marina among Canadians, we now met the boats we have heard on the VHF from Cabo onwards. Periccles, a boat from Comox, spent much time showing us around Mazatlan as its their second visit here and my, this helped. As Tom pinched a nerve in his back giving him trouble with his leg, we arrived here earlier than planned and will continue to rest and relax here. Fortunately, his leg is improving. Mazatlan is a large, busy city with much to offer. The local buses and pulmonias (like golf carts) fly through the streets into Old Town which has the cobbled narrow streets and 18th century buildings. The central plaza is filled with families, artists, food and bars. A stunning, old theatre joins the plaza. We will attend a Mariachi band Christmas concert there! Its sold out as this band is famous here!? After New Years, we plan to head "south". We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy new Year!
