Taco Stands

One of the great culinary and social aspects of cruising Mexico are the taco stands and carts, found from the smallest villages to street corners in the biggest cities. Not only are they often the place to get delicious and inexpensive treats — sometimes as late as 3 a.m. on a warm Mexican night — they are a great place to make friends, with either the vendors, who are usually gregarious, or other diners sitting or standing with you.

The accompanying photo is of Hilda’s taco stand just up from the beer depository in Turtle Bay. The company was wonderful and the food was good, although not great. Is there a good taco stand where you’re cruising? If so, we’d love for you to email a photo and tell us a little about it. Gracias.

Javier de Muns, our man in Brittany with his finger on the pulse of solo around the world racers, filed this report: "Last Monday’s weather window, with 40 to 50 knots wind, big seas, and an air temperature of 30 degrees seemed to have done the trick for Thomas Coville  and his 105-ft trimaran Sodebo, as they are already in the warmer latitudes of the Canary Islands, having averaged 20 knots since the start.

The day after Christmas (December 26) means the shopping is a faint memory, the presents are opened, the house is a mess and you’re ready for a little sailing ‘content’ in your life.
Ho Ho Ho & Happy Holidays
In an effort to allow our staff to finish (and, in some cases, start) their Christmas shopping, and then to recover from the Big Day itself, ‘Lectronic Latitude will be on vacation until December 28.
