Gonna have to say adios to La Cruz

By Aaron

Hard to believe we’ve been here over a month.  And what a month it’s been!  Happy hour at Huanacaxtle Cafe.  Relaxing on the boat.  Relaxing on the beach with a book.  Day trips to Bucerias, Sayulita, Punta de Mita…  Lazy hot afternoons, sleeping in… I’ve said before that cruising isn’t like being on vacation but it sure has felt like vacation during our stay here.  We’ve been hanging out with some really fun people and sometimes we wish this time here with them could just go on forever. 

There were plenty of toasts to be had – Chope draft is only 10 pesos, about 77 cents US.

Alas, the sea calls to us.  And maybe we’re getting a little too comfortable in this awesome little town.  It’s going to be hard, but in a few days we’ll dust off the sails and get underway again for points further south.  But our time here is going to be one that we’ll cherish forever.  La Cruz and our friends there have set the cruising bar pretty damn high.

We moved Bella Star out to the anchorage a few days ago and are getting ready to hit the road.  The goodbyes are getting harder these days.
