Tour of the Pacifico brewery in Mazatlan, including all the beer you can drink.
Impressive view of Mazatlan from the 8th floor of the brewery building.

Tomorrow we're leaving for San Blas, it should take us about a day and a half to get there.





Sailing on S/Y Windsong is hard work...

We're still in Mazatlan, decided to stay in Marina el Cid until Saturday. Haven't had quite enough of the pools and jacuzzi yet.
Tuesday we celebrated Maja's birthday, Kim and John prepared a gourmet dinner and our friends from El Mundo, Omar and Jeff, came to celebrate with us.

Yesterday we spend the morning on a dinghy trip around the marinas of Mazatlan, and in one of them we found our friends from La Paz, Omar and Geoff on El Mundo.
In the afternoon we explored Mazatlan old town, it is a very nice town with the longest Malecon (beachwalk) in Mexico.
To get to town we took a "pulmonia", an old Volkswagen with the roof and sides cut off. Interesting experience!
Today we'll do some shopping and get ready for our departure tomorrow. Our next stop will probably be Santa Cruz near Puerto Vallarta, if the weather is ok that should take us a day and a half.

Marina el Cid, Mazatlan.
Beautiful marina with several restaurants, pools, jacuzzi and beach club. Nice to enjoy some luxury after a couple of days at sea.

We left La Paz on Thursday morning, sailed all day and arrived in Bahia de los Muertos just after dark. We anchored there for the night, had a good night sleep and woke up early next morning. After having breakfast in the restaurant we left the bay and started for Mazatlan.
We arrrived a day and a half later, Saturday afternooon, and are now docked in Marina el Cid.
We'll probably stay here until Monday.
