Yesterday, Sunday, was a better day
We headed into Mazatlan just after 11AM. The Navy was displaying the colors.
A few tuna boats were in port taking on fuel and off loading their catch. Can you see the red helicopter mid frame slightly left from the right? I saw it take off the other day right from the deck of the boat.
A Baja Ferry in for repairs and a colorful tug in front.
Some of the shrimp fleet.
We were in town to attend a Gordon Campbell Concert, in this case by the Romancero Latino Ventura. They are a group from Culiacan but are better known outside of Mexico. We spoke to one of the members that we know and he said that in that last few years they have performed in France, Denmark and Russia as well as other locations.
At one point the quartet became a quintet. The group was beyond fabulous. I could have listened to them all day. Coin knows the group from his many vistis to Culiacan at the guitar festival.
Colin, Vinicio, Anaid and myself. He was on the left in the above shots.
Colin did some wedding photos for them back on 2013, click here for the link to those photos.
This was a photo that was not in that post. Fun times.
We stopped at a new to us place on the Machado ( el Cielo ) and had some shrimp tacos for lunch. Even better they had a two for one on wine. I had already eaten one of my tacos, they were that good.
So wonderful to have one of the few pulmonias that actually has a view. Most windshields are so low that you can’t see much.
Waiting for the lancha back to the Isla.
Always something new to see. Love how the laundry is hanging out to dry.
We stood waiting for the lancha as several of the drivers rested.
Meanwhile some fisherman were unloading their catch.
..and we are off, passing the Mexican Navy once again.
Home sweet home.
We got back to an unexpected happy hour, an adios to some RVers. From one thing to the next. Thanks all for your comments of support and suggestions re the carpet smell and of my hair. Still not happy about that.
We had a great view of the eclipse last night.
Best we could do with a hand held camera.
Hopefully many of you got to see it as well. What a treat.

Great pictures of the eclipse, thanks for sharing!
You are more than welcome.
An outstanding group of pictures of the marine coming and goings. We watched the eclipse from the clear skies over south Tucson. Was half expecting to see the witch on her broom go flying by. Maybe the wine was taking effect. Alan
Hmm, depends on the amount of wine involved. As it was we were so busy that night that we only started dinner at 10:30PM once the once had turned red. The photos just seemed to take themselves that day.
Nice that you are getting out more and enjoyed the concert. Love the pictures of the fishing boats and your photos of the eclipse, too cloudy here.
Oh we are still getting out. Loved the concert but that will be the only one this season. Too bad it was cloudy for you all. It was a special eclipse
