Staying in hotels is for suckers. For the price of one hotel room we’ve got ourselves a three-bedroom condo with private elevator, pool, and about anything else you can think of. Best of all though is the location just a few blocks down the malecon from the park and Old … Read More
Smokey in a Sombrero
About two months ago we booked a trip for my mom to come down for Christmas. Doing the math we decided we’d be in Mazatlan. Our math was wrong. So instead of sailing up, we rented a car and piled our crap in for the 300 mile roadtrip. And oh … Read More
Hungry in Mazatlan
One nice thing about Mazatlan is their bus service. It’s super easy to get anywhere we need to go, and today we needed to go back to the playground. Both of the kids needed the exercise, especially Lowe, who we are having the hardest time finding non-concrete places to crawl … Read More

Marina, Oh Marina
Well the anchorage at Isla Isabela is pretty terrible, and with a day of light headwinds promised we decided to just up anchor in the middle of the night and head out. The alarm went off at midnight, we fired up the engine and waited to see if the kids … Read More
