Hi guys , nice to hear from you. wow you are moving fast also. Well we have been 3 days in Acapulco and we have had enough of marina life. it’s really hot at the dock as the wind.. when there is wind blows off the hot rocks on shore. We are at La Marina Acapulco getting our dodger re-stitched. DON’T STAY HERE. They advertise a full service marina, with pool, cruisers service center, and will handle all paperwork. They don’t do paperwork, they don’t have showers for cruisers, they cruisers lounge is locked and they refused us entry to the pool as it was for MEMBERS ONLY. I raised shit after getting caught sneaking into the pool a few times, they were gracious enough to allow us, just us to use the pool. Surprised how clean the harbour is, but I’m not comfortable swimming here even though the locals do.
That side, it does have nice docks and the workers are very eager and helpful. Not sure what the other marina is like but I would give it a try first. Anyway , its now 8 am and I’m heading to the port captains to clear in and out, ( I thought the marina did my paperwork) then we are off. Oh Jan wants to know if you remember what that stomach medicine was the masseuse in San Blas recommended?
no problems but just in case.
Take care and marry xmas. Andy & Jan
