These pictures were taken during new years week and all of Mexico is on vacation at that time so it, the beach, is way crowded! This area is at the NW end of Santiago beach.

From Barra de Navidad to Santiago, Mexico and long lines - 2015

End of December 2015 - Anchored in Barra-Bahia de Navidad lagoon, Mexico


 We recently made the passage from Barra de Navidad to Santiago, Mexico. There were some fish nets that one panga fisherman showed us where to round the net. The next net a panga lowered the net so we could pass through. Both very nice. The next trap (very hard to see - clear coke bottles for buoys, an occasional green sprite one but mostly see through) was a long line (a fishing line with hooks that is long). In this case we were 2.5 nm off shore and were almost 10 nm off shore before we got around them.

Sailing fromTenacatita to Barra-Bahia de Navidad to Santiago - Manzanillo -2016

Beginning of January 2016 anchored at Las Hadas, Mexico

 Our sail from Tenacatita to Barra-Bahia de Navidad  was a wild one. We left in the afternoon so we would have some wind, about 20 knots. But when we rounded the corner out of Tenacatita the seas picked up and it was a wild ride. The sail boat behind us turned back.
