Yacht Elisa Mia sinks off the coast

No real news yet on where or when except that someone reported a yacht had hit a rock somewhere off Bahia de Navidad. Our local busybody found a picture of it submerged but didn't bother to mention where she found it. I found a picture of the Elisa Mia moored in a Puerta Vallarta marina a little over a year ago. A very good idea not to relax when anywhere near shore around here. Some very big rocks/mountains just below the surface.

I assume it went all the way down

Update on the Elisa Mia -- Somehow they re-floated it and brought it into the harbor in Barra.  Any more than that I haven't heard

Melaque and Barra from the air

Someone on the local forum posted a picture of a flight coming into Manzanillo airport suggesting it might be full of vacationers from up north. The plane wasn't much more than a dot. That reminded me that I had these fotos from my flight down in 2004 when I was still a working stiff. I doubt much has changed except that Barra has a lot less sand now.

That was an interesting arrival as the airport was fogged in and this big loop over Melaque was our third and finally successful try at landing.

The festivities and displays by local schools starts today and will be featured on the town plaza through the 2nd of November.   Today is Halloween but not really connected to Dia de los Muetos.   Tomorrow is Dia del los Ninos and the 2nd is Dia de los Muertos.

Centro de Salud to open this Thursday

Construction of the new Melaque Centro de Salud has been going on for at least 2 years and looks to be finishing this week.   Rumor is that the inauguration will take place this Thursday with a visit from the Governor.
