Acapulco anchorage
19 February 2012
Local knowledge pays off - a secret set of GPS coordinates from our friends on "Cirque," the Beneteau 42s7 that passed this way not long ago. Keep nudging toward the beach until you're in 20 feet, and down goes the hook. A luxury resort on one side, the city of one million on the other, a Navy base with all kinds of intriguing craft and training maneuvers to watch. A "dog beach." Pool temperature off the back of the boat - pretty much perfect. For Valentine's Day, we retire to the "sunset deck" on the rail, and watch the lights come on in Acapulco. So why are we in such a hurry to get down the road?
