Spotted this beauty on the other side of the marina today. Only a few things look slightly different than our boat, yet still not sure that it is a Spindrift. Definitely Ron Amy designed, but can’t tell if it is an actual Spindrift or not. Probably just an early version.
Saw the boat while on our way to the Sunday market where we were surprised to find a perfect reenactment of the Portland Saturday market. Seriously, a bunch of gringo hippies appear out of nowhere to sell specialty food and handmade tchotchkes. Pineapple smoked mahi-mahi, chicken liver pâté, jams, French breads, picture frames made out of “repurposed” wood, lots of art with palm trees, more necklaces than even Ouest could get over her head, and a bunch of knit stuff—basically any old weekly market anywhere in the States.
That’s not fair, I’m just giving the market a hard time—it was actually pretty nice. It’s just one of those places that make you sit back, scratch your head, and wonder, “Where am I?” But then you finally stumble across that Mexican who is selling his fresh tamales or tacos, and it all comes back to you.
Oh, and Lowe got this badass hat. Rockin’ it Vallarta style.

Loved today’s pictures of the market and people. Someday you might publish a “coffe table” picture book! I know, coffe tables are no longer in style but the books still seem to be around! We are enjoying life and off to Maui next week.
I think that boat might be a Sino American Landfall 39, same designer as the Spindrift.
As always the photos are so colorful and tell such great stories. Yes, a book of photos would be very popular.
I’m just going to share your post about the market instead of writing one of my own. You did a far superior job than what I was going to do!
Hi Guys, We are on our way back north, just arrived back in Mexico a couple days ago. Should be in PV in a 2 or 3 weeks. Where was that farmers market your talking about? Is that in PV or La Cruz?
In La Cruz, right at the marina near the fisherman’s dock.
Wow, what an amazing life you have! I’m jealous. I don’t know that I could live on a boat since I was raised in S.D. where there is almost no water. But to be able to travel and live all over the world, that’s so wonderful! Love your photos!
The “Black Beauty” you noticed looks very familiar,A friend in Tacoma Wa. sold one that looked just like it with apitong deck and rub rails. Beautiful boat with tan canvas, had to crawl thru a low companionway to the forward section of the boat but it was worth it.
