After 3 days at sea, we were glad to pass our 1st waypoint into Banderas Bay. There were 4 good places to stay in this big beautiful bay, and we decided that La Cruz de Huanacaxtle was the best suited for us. A new modern marina, a quaint Mexican town with cobblestone streets, taco stands and easy bus access to Puerto Vallarta was great. But the real clincher is the music scene. Philo’s and Anna Banana’s are just two of the places to enjoy live music and a beverage and something yummy to eat.
Our first afternoon in La Cruz we walked to Philo’s for a burger and met Philo himself who is legendary for really helping cruisers and the community. He invited Tom and his fiddle to sit in with the band on Thursday night.
Turns out that our friends Andy Turpin (“Banjo Andy” as he’s known) and his wife, Julie, along with their “kids” and grandchild were in town. Andy, as Editor of Latitude 38, was covering the “Puddle Jumpers” who often choose this area to prepare for their passage to the South Pacific. After an impromptu happy hour on Begone, Tom and Andy both sat in with Philo’s band on Thursday night.
And after a great night if pickin', Huevos Rancheros @ Anna Banana's is tough to beat.
