For those of you who don't know about this lagoon, it's a wind magnet. Every day around 1 pm until after dark, the sea breeze comes in from the west at around 25 to 40 mph. The 1st Mate and I and our dogs were here when it was clocked at 68 mph. Speeding, indeed. It sets up a nice breeze through the boat but keeps us below to write, play music and read, cook and eat cookies (which is what I'm doing today). Thoughts of going to town in this weather are suspect, but the water taxis handle it just fine. Try this in a dinghy and you'll be soaked to the bone in minutes.
I spotted this sign outside a hotel lobby in Barra today, and had to post it. It's uniquely honest in an industry that is anything butt.
This is my favorite sign in all of Mexico so far
And if the Surgeon General REALLY wanted people to quit smoking, he'd put THIS on all the tobacco products sold in the US. Maybe with a Healthcare Plan for Americans in the works, he will.

Great sign, don't remember it from last year. Skeletons are cool in Mexico, not a deterrent to smoking at all.
The water taxi in Barra is the only way to go. And so much fun, zooming around the anchorage. Why chug along getting soaked, using up gas when you can get a ride like that? Water taxis and the French Baker are what I miss most about Barra.
