Today is the third and final day of the Banderas Bay Blast, the ‘nothing serious’ cruiser regatta and social extravaganza now in its fifth year. As always, the last day is also the Pirates for Pupils Spinnaker Run for Charity, which will see the 20-boat fleet carry chutes — and lots of guests who donated money to the charity — for 12 miles in tropical sailing conditions from Punta Mita to Paradise Marina in Nuevo Vallarta. The skies are blue, the wind is expected to be 12 to 18 knots, and the air temperature in the mid-80s. Everybody here is hoping the sailing conditions are as delightful for friends back in their home ports. The following are a series of photos depicting the fun.
