CYC burgee in Barra
17 April 2009 | Barra de Navidad
There's a funky little palapa bar on the beach here called Piper's Cruiser Lounge, it's open air with a thatched roof. The band plays all the great rock and roll songs from the late 60s and 70s, like Credence Clearwater, Jimi Hendrix...
What really caught our eye however was an ancient looking life ring in this bar. It looks like it's been around many years. The ring has a Corinthian YC of San Francisco [CYC] burgee painted on it along with the yacht name "Magnifico" and the port name "Portland". Does any club historian know the story behind this CYC flagged boat?
Perhaps a CYC club historian knows the story. It would be interesting to know the rest of the story of 'Magnifico'.

We rented a car and drove 6 days to see Guadalajara, visiting many small mountain villages along the way. The rugged mountain scenery was delightful.
