Anchored at La Cruz - Red Tide causing decision making anxiety - 2013

2013 - La Cruz anchorage Banderas Bay Mexico
m\v Pegasus is leaving the La Cruz anchorage today for Punta DeMita in Banderas Bayy because of the Red Tide s\v Gitane is still in the La Cruz anchorage but is heading to Zihuatanejo soon where thy will spend the season.


 I think that is one thing I did not understand when we set sail at first, that you only cruise for six months. Then you have six months to re-group. weather you do it up in the sea by the US or on the mainland I the heart of Mexico is up to you. That is if you are cruising México and are in the hurricane belt. Like Ken and Nancy on s\v Gitane, a lot of people leave Mexico altogether and come back in six months, sun birds if you will.

 In their case they came back to both of their heads plumbing clogged with growth and chemical buildup. The hoses were put in the boat and the boat built around them so they cannot get at them. They have a 38' IP. Their refer was broke and they still have not gotten it fixed, a month after being back. One of them Nancy is going back to the US for some family stuff and will bring back refer parts. So another story.
 We may be heading to the Punta DeMita anchorage instead of the La Cruz anchorage because of the Red Tide, I need to see a doc first about some groin pain. We also need to get away from the doc by Friday as I am doing the Amigo net 6212 8:00 AM on the ICOM802 SSB radio this year on Fridays. It is hard to get out on the SSB radio in a marina. We bumped into Jake on s\v Jake and his wife at the La Cruz swap meet and he gave be a day. We had met him in Bahia de Navidad last winter. A little give back to the sailing community.
