Friday, 11 April 2014 – On Thursday when we arrived in San Blas from Punta De Mita, we met a Swiss guy who was sailing a 27-foot Catalina Capri to South America. He had already sailed all the way from San Diego and was having a great time. The boat next to us in the Marina was empty as apparently the solo sailor, who owned the boat had died suddenly a month or so before and his sister was arranging for the boat to be moved to Puerto Vallarta for sale.  At the end of the dock was the large Schooner ‘Patricia Bell’ who we had not seen her since the 2011 in the Baja Ha-Ha where she was a participant. She had anchored behind us in Bahia Magdalena. She is all wood and built by her owners in the late 1990’s.

The boat next to us was owned by an older American with a girl friend in San Blas. Unfortunately, just after getting back to San Blas, he had a heart attack and died. His boat was waiting for a crew to sail it to Puerto Vallarta where it would be put up for sail.

We spent the morning cleaning the boat and then went into town stopping at the Social club for a drink. Afterward, we went to McDonald’s restaurant for Lunch. After we got back to the Marina, we noticed the Swiss guy had left on his Catalina Capri for Zihuatanejo.
