Navolato is one of the most violent cities in the cartel drug war going on in Sinaloa. Fortunately, the mobsters usually kill eachother, but sometimes innocents get caught in the crossfire. I'm glad you, your family and your boat made it out of there unharmed. LARRY Sometimes it pays not to know the full picture.

I was sailing alongside Restless for a 3 or 4 months when they did their trip to Mexico on my boat Danzarin. We met up with them in Mexico, sailed out to Hawaii and then went our separate ways as we headed back to North America. I was always impressed with Marcus's mechanical knowledge and a lot of the work he had done to Resless. Oh and he introduced me to Nigel Calder! I think you are very fortunate to have purchased a boat upgraded and maintained by Marcus! It was very funny to run across this blog!

FEMA should have hired Mexico to aid the recovery in New Orleans after Katrina. These folks don't sit around and gab. They take the proverbial bull by the horns and get things done." For more on the Mexican government's response post-Jimena, check out the end of this post from our friend Adam (who got us the photo of Sugata): http://www.sailblogs.com/member/estrella/?xjMsgID=102044 And no, the big girl panties aren't getting a laundering... they've been declared a loss. We're gonna have to buy a new pair. Hi Marcus,

Sounds like there were only a few boats damaged in Marina Seca, and most of those were smaller boats on trailers. We're hoping to get a confirmation photo from Adam of S/V Estrella, who has been to the yard and has provided some comforting words. Good news- so far!
