dec 17, 2008...Puerto ALTATA,Sinaloa
Overnight SAIL from Topo... jumping Manta Rays... many shrimp trawlers...anchored out ,working or resting in port.
This is the undiscovered port of the decade... per Latitude 38.
15 mile unmarked channel from the ocean, less than 2000 people.
They fish from pangas with colorful SAILS and drag bottom nets.
All the masts and outriggers are bamboo...only here in this large windy bay.
We had a personal visit with port captain Mendoza!!
Off to Mazatlan soon...
