Today we sail into Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In a few hours we will rattle down the gangway and find our way to a local market. Local markets are tons of fun, in these days the goal is to find genuine items that are not imported from China! This is the only Port on this Itinerary that we have been to before, so we are throwing all caution to the winds of the Pacific and forging out on our own with no regard for personal safety. There is a Walmart directly across from our berth in the harbor so if things get dicey, we will seek refuge in this Familiar Haven.
For today I have assembled a few photos for your Traveling Pleasure.
See below for details.
This was from our first full Day at Sea. Note how disappointed someone was with how the Pacific has lived up to its name, whose root-word also generates the word pacify.
This was our second full Day at Sea, and as you can see, the conditions have started to get worse. (Hah!)
It’s really bad when the wake generates larger waves than the wind (sigh)
This is my new early morning “Office” for this trip. I have met an older gentleman by the name of Phelam (82) who flew F-4 Phantoms off of the carrier Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam War. He is my newest friend 🙂
This was our position as of early afternoon yesterday, right off the coast from Cabo San Lucas.
This is our position as of around 4AM today, only a few more miles and we’ll be throwing the mooring lines to some sleepy dockworkers.We sailed approximately 340 miles in that time, for an average speed of 21 mph or a little over 18 knots. The Ship cruises between 17 to 22 knots per hour.
The spot that I have chosen to insert my “Office” is conveniently located near the 24-Hour International Cafe. This a sampling of its fare at this time of the morning.

Linda and Dan know that I have an affinity for Chocolate and introduced me to See’s Candies many years ago. They made sure that we did not leave Southern California unprepared. These delicacies are kept deliciously in our Safe.
Look closely and you can see Paula out on our Balcony
Look closer and you can see that she is just making sure that her Lifeboat is ship-shape and ready to go!
Well, it’s time to rouse the Crew from their sleep, so I’ll leave you here pondering the outcome of our Unescorted Foray into the jungles of Puerto Vallarta. With any amount of luck there will be a Post tomorrow morning detailing the same. If not, send out the Mounties and raise a search party!
