  1. Explored Punta Sur and the cliffs today some after a short offshore snorkel tour. Mid afternoon naps then we got smashed at the blue topaz after watching the sunset. Total American expat kinda joint but the pico de Gallo was redic and the owner/bartender made the best margaritas (skinny no sugar) we’ve had thus far. Love the island vibe and really like the interior streets and the dive bars and restaurants. Not such a fan of downtown but won’t turn down a rev there either. We’d come back for sure. Offshore trip tomorrow with a friend who stayed in playa and rented a boat - pick up here at 10am. We’ll see...ad765bd96c44a04818076b1182069392.jpg

  2. That hasn't come up yet; the majority of my visits so far have been about finding another job, getting through my current one, and adjusting my thinking. I'm certain it will at some point though. 

    Saw your post up above about not feeling guilty for being straight white male - totally agree - and find some happy cool queer folk to hang out with and have a kick ass time while you work it all out.

  3. Man I can only post a what I see. Actually I think most of these are rinse and repeat charters. They leave anchor just after sun goes down and they have like 30 people on them.

    We will probably charter a nice big boat soon. We’ve got the disposable income older gay men that like us hanging around which would make it easy.

  4. For many years my crowd was the Monday through Thursday 6 AM water skiing on glass crowd and the Sat and Sun dusk-skiing in the coves at Volente and Jonestown crowd.  Alas, real jobs and family ruined all that.
     


    Divorce and running your own gig can get you back there, not all smiley positives but if the water is your priority. :-)
  5. Yeah my crowd is the Monday through thurs late afternoon and evening crowd and the sat and sun morning crowd. Sometimes we see the same boats too. The party scene isn’t for us. We go for sunsets and smooth water. Not to be seen. I don’t get the see and be seen crowd when it comes to boating.

  6. I’m a lake person first and a water sport person now also. Not much into the mechanics of it all so much. I do enjoy seeing all of them though. Saw a sweet Chris craft at lakeway last week and wanted to try it out so bad.

  7. Pretty cool place. Hanging on the south side mostly but been to playa Norte twice in two days to see the sunset and let my kids swim. Oldest loves snorkeling - first time - I bet he scubas soon. Love the side streets south of downtown and the golf cart driving. Mescal and beer chasers are nice too. Powder sand, blue water and pesos down Mexico way (steve Earle reference) work every time. The sex is better too. We love Mexico.

  8. Same thing happened to one of the axis club boats.  I didn't catch the details of the problem, but was an easy fix and it was back out the same day. Other problem on that boat is that the quick disconnects for the ballast tank lines are pieces of shit.  


    Yeah I hate those effing things, gonna ask them to fix them.
  9. Stupid new boat overheated and we had to tow back in. The purpose of a warranty is to not need it. I miss my colbalt. Girlfriend seems unfazed, “don’t care, we surfed” she keeps repeating. :-/
