We love Mazatlan, and El Cid Marina here in particular. It's been our home port since we were first broken down here in 2008 for 3 months. It's hard to say good-bye and know that we won't be bopping back next winter like we have for the last three years. The closer we get to leaving this, the harder it gets.
Looking across the entrance channel, north up the beach towards Cerritos. This is also part of El Cid and is where all the weddings take place. To get to that side, you just take the complimentary water taxi.
The El Cid Marina. There are only three main docks with room for about 100 boats. Many of the slips are taken by permanent residents or fishing boats, so there is limited room for cruisers who come and go.
The "Tarzan Pool" as we call it. This is our main hang out.With a slip in the marina, you get access to all the amenities - hot tub, two pools, the beach club, towels, and even room service to the boat.
Patrick was the big winner one day at Bingo and won two of three games. For each game won, he got a T-shirt.

So sad! :( Are you guys planning to sail back over to Baja area or leave the boat in Mazatlan as you head off to the next adventure? We're really bummed our time frame is not working out to cross paths and swap stories in Baja with your crew. :( (Wylie is especially sad not to sniff bums with Rudy!)

"Gringo Bingo" as it's known. The relaxation training is now complete.
ReplyDeleteHello Katie and Mark,
ReplyDeleteWe are untying the dock lines as soon as the fog lifts a little here in Mazatlan and are headed over to La Paz for the "big offload" We have a car there and storage options while we clean out our junk and get her ready for sale.
It's too bad we won't get to meet up.

Hey Rich,
ReplyDeleteIt was a banner day for Patrick with Gringo Bingo. However, there was lots of competition from vacationing Mexicans, so it's not just for Gringos!
