Arrived at Loreto at 0700hrs on Nov.3.We spent and enjoyable
day exploring the oldest settled community on the Baja Pen.During
the evening from 1600 to 2200hrs trainees and crew were treated to
a spectacular dinner made possible by Doug and Catherine Makaroff
from Victoria.Doug is involved in a development project based in
Loreto Bay.We spent the evening at the Camino Real,a beautiful
hotel on the beach just outside Loreto.Two rooms were made
available to us for showering,there was a choice of four pools to
swim in and a lovely beach to relax on.At 6pm dinner was served to
us at tables set up on the beach itself.All kinds of Mexican
dishes were available buffet style.There was
seafood,chicken,steak,pasta,fresh salsa,even a birthday cake for
our over the hill Skipper.During our meal we were serenaded by a
Mexican trio that wandered from table to table and sang romantic
Spanish tunes to all.The evening was rounded out with dancing and
hanging out with each other.Cathy is a former offshore crew member
and her husband Doug has been on the SALTS Board.This whole event
was organized by them from Victoria.Doug and Cathy our night spent
