Mazatlan Harbor

Well we started off on Thursday morning for an approx. 8 hour trip to Isla Isabella where we would spend the night and then leave early the next morning for Mazatlan. We had a very nice sail out to Isla Isabella. When we got there, there were already 3 powerboats there and the fishermen where setting nets everywhere. We dropped the anchor and it wouldn't hook - it just kept skimming over the rocks/coral. We pulled it back up and decided to just head to Mazatlan. If we had hooked, it would have
been really hard to get out the next morning in the dark with all the nets around. The trip to Mazatlan was a little bumpy. We had 15-18 knots pretty much on the nose the entire night. The boys slept back in our room (as they do anytime we do an overnight), and they slept great. The wind started to die down just as we approached the Mazatlan harbor. When we pulled in we were happily surprised to see our friends Dick & Jan on Zephrus from SWYC already anchored there. After resting for a little
bit, we took the bus up to a great pizza place for lunch then another bus to the grocery store - we are ALWAYS running out of food!!! We've been invited up to the pool at El Cid today by "A Cappella" - so we are definitely going to do that... Kyle can't wait (he remembers the pool from when we were there in December). It doesn't look like we have access to the internet from here, so pictures and regular email will have to wait until we make it to the Baja side late next week.
