C-Monkey goes to Tacos-on-the-street

04 March 2012 | La Cruz de Huanacaxtle
Capt. Crabby
Well, last night we finally made it to Tacos-on-the-street. We went with Frank and Stephanie from "Endless Summer". The tacos were great, although the price has gone up to 15 pesos (about $1.20 US). I had 4, and I was stuffed!
Last week, I caught a cold and wasn't feeling too well, but on Thursday, we motored over to Punta Mita and then sailed all the way back. It was a really nice sail, and the weather was just right. Next week, we plan to go over to Punta Mita and anchor for a couple of nights and then go to Las Tres Mariettas islands and check it out. Frank and Stephanie are going to take "Endless Summer" as well.
There is a lot of activity in La Cruz right now. Today is the beginning of La Copa de Mexico J-24 races, an international event that is connected with the Pan-American games and the Olympics. There are over 50 J-24's here, and the racing starts tomorrow. This is going to be followed by the MEXORC ocean races, which start in about a week. A lot of the boats from the SD-PV race will enter, I believe. We heard a report yesterday that some of the SD-PV boats were making 22knots!
The whole town of La Cruz has been a bustling construction zone for the last couple of weeks, re-paving the streets, putting up venues for the races, re-doing the town plaza etc. It's really looking nice, and they even installed a small swimming pool in the marina.
Last night, we visited a small gift shop in La Cruz and found that the owner, who also sells Real Estate here, is from Oceanside. We had old home week with him, a really nice young fellow married to a lovely local girl.
I'll try to get some good pix of the races after they begin
