1) Acapulco, Mexico
Ahoy Panama Posse,
We just arrived dec 13th 10 am in Acapulco. We left
Zihuatanejo dec 12th and did not really like the anchorage
of Papanoa, so we sailed on. No problems in the night. Saw
whale and dolphins. Vicente immediately came out when we
entered the bay. I will give him a 2019 Posse small burgee.
He proudly showed me the one from last year. His smile went
even bigger when I mentioned you, Dietmar. No other Posses
here (yet). Saw Sprezzatura come into Zihua when we left.

3) Marina Puerto de La Navidad, Barra de
Navidad, MXPICTURE OF THE WEEK
Yet another generous offer from
the harbor master here in Barra de Navidad…
For those in the marina, on Friday December 21
the marina staff will be walking around to judge
Christmas lights and decorations. The
staff will take a vote then award first place.
The winner will receive dinner for two or a
free night in the resort (great for
visiting parents or children!). For those of
you still north of Barra, this would make for a
great target date to be in the marina here in
Barra. Let’s get those lights up and show off
the strong presence of the Panama Posse!
