Banderas Bay Blast

By Richard | December 2, 2011 | Banderas Bay, Mexico |
Yesterday’s second race of the Banderas Bay Blast was from La Cruz to Punta Mita. Although the wind briefly got into teens, it was mostly in the single digits. There were whales, dolphins and flat water.

Today is the third and final day of the Banderas Bay Blast, which features three days of sailing fun in a fundraiser for local charities. The sailing conditions for the first two days were on the light side but with flat water and plenty of sun. As for the social activities, we’ll let the following photos speak for themselves. The event wraps up today with the Pirates for Pupils 12-mile spinnaker run to Paradise Marina, where all entries get a free berth; then, this evening, at the Vallarta YC with a hot-tub stuffing contest; and tomorrow at the Vallarta YC’s huge Chili Cook-Off fundraiser. The fun is so intense that it’s another four months before the sailing action picks up again on Banderas Bay with the Banderas Bay Regatta. Wish you were here!

The Sailing Solution for Shoppers
There are few things in life that we enjoy more than sailing. And by contrast, there are few things we dislike more than battling crowds of over-amped shoppers during the holiday season, while struggling to find meaningful gifts for the people we love.
