Isla Isabella to Mazatlan Marina

April 4, 2016
Left Isla Isabella at 0030 so we would get to Mazatlan in daylight and of course wind 12 kts apparent was on the nose again.  Kept three hr watches needing a few more layers as the night got chilly.  

Pink sky in the morning and warming up fast.    We should have been fishing.


Getting into Mazatlan's Marinas El Cid harbor was a scary thing.   Another uneven  entrance with a dog leg jetty breaking  at one end and a strong current which spun Chez Nous's bow to port a few feet from the breakwall at the Starboard turn before it let go.  Like being in a ships prop wash.  Should have waited for high tide.  Arrived at 1230 and tied up safely at Marina Mazatlan Dock 5.

Easy check in with great little bar named  "Dock 7".  
Showers and ready to explore  the town.   Had a great dinner in the historical section.
