Mazatlan, MX
With the help of Mary-Ann on s/v OLD MOON we found another Mexican wine.
For my last entry on Mazatlan, I’ll focus on our transportation options. Yes, I realize that the topic of transportation would not typically be notable. Here it is.
Getting around presents some interesting alternatives. There are a lot of options for taxis but all of them are a little short on the safety department.
You could take the bus but be warned, you aren’t getting anywhere quickly on the Mazatlan bus system.
You’ll be happy to know that we made it to the local English speaking church on time (they have English speaking churches here…it’s a tourist city). The other transportation option is to rent a car; however, be forewarned that mode of transportation comes with its own inherent additional risks in this town thanks to the unique layout of the curbside parking. Gotta wonder what someone was thinking when they planned this out:
How about horses? Horses are safe, reliable, even fun and in Mexico apparently they are bilingual…
Ultimately though, it is the call of the sea that eventually reaches all of us. Well, all of us that sail on boats at least. I found a ride with Jake on s/v MALOOSE on an overnight transit down to San Blas. For those of you who have been keeping up with this blog, you will know of my long standing battle with Tiffany over the existence of the “supposed” green flash. This battle came to head under a beautiful sunset leaving the port.
Naturally, Tiffany was in another country when this happened.
