Here's a view of one section of the old town of Mazatlan, a town square lined by chic restaurants.

There are huge iguanas all over the place here in Mazatlan. The swim and even climb the palm trees. Francois caught one. When captured they play dead until released.

We arrived at Mazatlan finally about 11:00 a.m. this morning. Our arrival was delayed because the winds died in the later part of the morning so we had to motor. But most of the night we had 20+ knot winds and were sailing at 7 to 8 knots. The Maximum knot speed logged on our knot meter was 13 knots. That would have been while we were surfing down one of the innumerable waves.
Pascale got up around 6:30 this morning and relieved me from my 1 a.m. watch.
The El Cid marina is nice, but rather small and nowhere near as luxurious as the marina at Costa Baja, La Paz. One nice thing is that the pool here is very warm and swimmable. Sea temperature here is 85 degrees and so probably is the pool. The pool at La Paz was starting to get relatively chilly (75 degrees perhaps).
The first thing we saw as we arrived was the boat WARREN PEACE and skipper John Warren waving to us. His wife Sharon greeted us in the harbor. John was the commodore right after me at the Corinthian Yacht Club so we have a lot of common experiences. We look forward to seeing John and Sharon here in Mazatlan.

the winds gradually increased as we cross the Sea of Cortez, it's midnight now and we have 20 knots gusting to 25. Wave height is 6 to 8 feet. We are sailing at 7.5 knots with a reefed main and jib. John is doing the evening watch til 1 a.m. when I'll take over to do the graveyard shift. Our ETA at Mazatlan is still around 9:30 to 10:00 a.m.
