Leaving La Cruz/Banderas Bay was the start of our return trip. A little sad – but the adventure continues as we still have almost 6 weeks left on the trip. Next stop, a little 12 hour overnight sail to San Blas.
The Bugs of San Blas: Tom may have chosen to bypass San Blas. In every written piece and every conversation about this little Mexican town, the discussion of mosquitoes and no-see-ums “jejenes” is always present. Tom hates those bugs. Fortunately for us, the chance to track down “La Sirena” was a bigger draw than the bugs were a deterrent!
After spending the early morning hours dodging fishing boats, we arrived in Matachen Bay
While many avoid Norm, we were glad to accept his advice in navigating the narrow San Blas entrance/channel to the very nice marina. We also accepted his invitation to join him and his lovely wife Janet, along with 6 other cruisers from “Yancey” and “Hotel California", for a memorable and delicious dinner in a family run outdoor streetside restaurante. The Posole (seafood and hominy soup) was amazing. We would never have found this place without them.
Jan is one of the sweetest, nicest people we met in all our time in Mexico, and Norm was one of the most interesting. We enjoyed getting to know them. Glad you did too. We tell people not to listen to what others say but to meet the Goldings once and make up their own minds.
