April 2012 Mazatlán We plan on being Mazatlán for another month or so. The majority of cruisers are further south, crossing the Pacific, going up the Sea of Cortez or packing up the boat either on the hard or berthed and flying north to family. The word is it gets hot and very humid here. It has been warmer in the last few days, is it just coincidence, or is it the seasonal change? Either way we're here because we're waiting on some boat bits to be made; gooseneck (it's that bit that connects the boom to the mast, we kinda bent the one Bryan made), boom gallows ( the thing that the boom sits on when we're not sailing, broke it trying to jury rig the gooseneck). We're getting them made out of stainless steel and since machining and welding SS holds no interest for either of us, the work is farmed out. So in the meantime we're exploring more of Mazatlán. Old Mazatlán is fabulous. It is a mix of old houses in sad need to restoration, and ones that have been restored into homes, restaurants, gyms, shops, galleries, studios, Bed and breakfasts, etc. This one is a parking lot.
