Feb. 17 - 20th, 2007: Mazatlan really knows how to hold a party! On the Saturday before carnaval, Mazatlan does a seaborne reenactment of a famous French/Mexican battle. The weaponry is fireworks and it is awesome! We moved Wirewalker from the marina to Stone Island where we anchored for the night. Our SF friends, Barbara and Michael, flew down to join us for this event.
The fireworks from the anchorage were awesome but, sure enough, by early morning the next Norther had moved in. We hauled up the anchor and scooted back to the marina. All good.
That evening (Sunday) was when Mazatlan has their really big parade. They describe it as the third largest in the world, behind Rio and New Orleans. Because pictures speak a thousand words, we'll show some of the magic from that night!
