La Cruz - Glenn Burch and the s/v La Sirena - Tom’s quest to find them

Tom had heard his old friend, Glenn
Burch, from the Master Mariners, may be in La Cruz.  Tom had raced “Polaris” against Glenn’s boat “La Sirena” in the SF Bay for many years.  When Glenn retired from the Park Service, he and La Sirena headed South.  We also knew Glenn had given the boat to a new owner, Lee,  but were unsure if it survived the “old wooden boat in Mexico” disease.

In La Cruz, we found a picture of La Sirena on a banner advertisement for the marina, but now how to track down Glenn? 


The Glenn Burch Backward Salute
What a surprise when Tom walked into Philo’s and there was Glenn at the bar.  We enjoyed a great time catching up with him.  And hope he’ll be there next time we visit La Cruz. 



But what happened to La Sirena?  We heard we may find her in San Blas.  The quest will continue...
