December 31st, 2010 - New Years Eve Party

2010 first annual Cruisers New Years Party at El Cid Marina. In attendance were the crew of "Passat II", "Queen Mary", "Starsinger" and "N' Joy Boat III". All Canadians!



The cruisers were sponsored by Bob & Jody (Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine) and Armando (El Cid Marina Dock Master). For $20.00 US we had a super lobster diner, unlimited booze, live entertainment, party favors and fireworks.




Lots and lots of smiles. The beauty between us is "Katty" who works in the El Cid Marina office.





The live music by "Endless Summer"and Circus performers were fantastic.


We say good-by to the old year 2010.

December 30th, 2010 - Sad Goodby

We bid a sad farewell to James and Maria as they head home.

Even sadder, (for my wallet) I was caught speeding on the way to Cancun after dropping them off. To avoid having to pay a supposed $180 US fine I paid a 500 peso bribe. Not even 5 miles further on I was stopped by another cop for "speeding". This time I knew I was not. I stuck to my guns and got off with a "warning" and no fine or bribe. Needless to say we were sure to stay 10 km under the posted limit from then on.
