San Carlos Marina - A very good place to be

In previous years, we hear that an open slip in the San Carlos Marina have been impossible to score, so we feel fortunate to be in B-12 in this beautiful harbor. But the even limited availability probably goes to confirm what we’ve heard about the reduction in cruisers in Mexico this year.

Why is this? Is there a shortage of adventuresome spirits? Is it the economy? I don’t know but I’m sure reports of the violence here in Mexico don’t help. It was a heads-up for us when we heard the Assistant Police Chief of the town of Empalme had been killed on Monday – especially given that we had just attended the big flea market in that town on Sunday and is only about 25 miles away from us - on the other side of Guaymas.

But our first hand experience has been so positive and we continue to meet great people here who have been friendly, helpful and enjoying life. We are certainly loving San Carlos!
