We got up around 7:30, and pulled the anchor up and went into Mazatlan. Near high tide. Some things about the entrance to this harbor, this is not the main harbor, this is the small boat marina. The entrance faces southwest, and is about 50 yards wide (seriously! Very narrow, the canal in back of our house in Florida is wider). The channel is being dredged, so there is a dredging barge tied to one side (as it is Saturday). The reports in Navionics says to be careful entering when there is a swell from the south, as a 60 foot boat wound up smashed on the rocks in October 2019. As we came in I could see how that could happen as we had a slight swell from the west and it pushed us around a bit. Anyway we made it through this channel and into the marina area, which is very large, somewhere over 400 slips. We found our dock and got parked and shore power on and engine shut down by about 9 am. We checked in at the office, and checked about the refrigeration tech. Then back to the boat to hang out and wait. They showed up about 1:30 or so. They recharged the refrigerator looked for a leak, and said they thought it was under the refrigerator. Then they left. We will try a different tech who actually looks like he wants to find the leak (these two were not even going to look until I asked the third time). In the meantime, The water heater is still not leaking. We went for a walk, and discovered that this is not a good place to walk away from. Oh well, we did anyway and found a bier garden and had a beer. Then an Uber ride back to the boat. We had dinner and were settled in for the night, when we had a post on Facebook from a friend in Iowa who said we should go dancing at a place called Valentinos. We checked and it looked like it was right around the corner. So we changed and took a hike. Well google missed, so we got an Uber and went to the right place (which was closed) so we walked down the Malecón and found another great place for a beer and then finally took an Uber back to the boat. Showers and bed.
