Rusty

In Mazatlan we saw another interesting boat, this one a working fishing boat. It's quite colorful but mainly because of the rust. I pray they are not at sea when the bailing starts!

Bright colored houses

Many houses in Mazatlan, as in much of Mexico, are brightly colored.

What a way to make a living!

Acapulco isn't the only Mexican city with divers. In Mazatlan, we waited and waited for this diver to actually do the deed. I don't whether he was waiting for the right waves to fill his landing spot, or he was working his courage up. From our vantage point it looked like a foolhardy act. BUT - he did it and didn't hit any rocks. Whew!

Man in a boat

Shortly after we arrived in Mazatlan around 6 AM, I noticed this boat coming across the bay, to cross in front of our moored ship. The man in the back was rapidly leaning down and up, as if he were rowing - but the boat had a motor that was obviously working. So what was he doing? As the boat came closer I could see that he was bailing water as fast as he could. In the photo you can see the water and the bucket. Too bad it's not a movie!
