Christmas and New Year’s in Mexico

By Richard | January 4, 2008 | Barra de Navidad, Mexico |

"Frosty and Patti of Angel Fish organized a Christmas potluck for about 75 of us cruisers at the Barra Country Club Golf Course, and then Bill Lloy and Moira Taft of Fancy Free put together a New Year’s Brunch," reports Charles Lane of the San Francisco-based Tayana 37 Shamari. "The Christmas event was in particular a huge success, as it raised some money for a local kid’s program."

We know there were lots of cruiser Christmas and New Year’s events in Mexico, and would love to get brief reports and photos of them. Whenever possible, try to get the full names, boat names, boat types and hailing ports of the organizers, as it makes for more informative and professional reports. When taking photos, make sure you get everyone in the group to put their heads together and smile. Trust us, it makes a world of difference.
