  • Mazatlán July 2012 During a big rain storm, trees got washed down the estuary where our marina is located. We think this little guy somehow escaped drowning or being washed out to sea by getting onto Copernicus. He stayed in our cockpit for a couple of weeks, but we needed to get the stowaway off before leaving Mazatlán. We transported him to a palm tree via Tupperware.

  • July 2012 Mazatlán Water filters. The 2 on the right is what they looked like after having warm water and exposure to a bit of light for several months. Replaced them with the ones on the left before we filled the tanks again and made covers to block out the uv and light.

  • July 2012 Mazatlán Lots of feral cats at the marina next door, they are all fixed and are being fed by cruisers at that marina. These look like 3 siblings that can be found together most of the time.

  • June 2012 el Quelite about 30 minutes NW from Maztalán pretty village that got itself on the tourist map by a local doctor that converted a large hacienda into a restaurant featuring local dishes. He then convinced the government to donate funds to the residents to pretty up the village with colourful casas. The local dish I tried was chicharrón; delicious, chewy, cholesterol on a platter. School is out. The boys got our attention with a wolf whistler, so I insisted on a photo.The middle guy, Mr Cool, is the leader of the gang. The boys all posed, the girls all got the shies and turned their backs the camera and giggled.

  • June 2012 Concordia Like most places in Mexico, the water though treated is not potable due to the pipe lines. So many folks get bottle water delivered. Many others install a filtration system that includes UV to kill the nasties. That's the option we choose, on Copernicus, the water goes through 4 paper, ceramic and charcoal filters, UV then 2 more paper and charcoal filters.
