CHANGES Banderas Bay Blast, including the Pirates for Pupils Spinnaker Run — December 2-4. Co-sponsored by the Punta Mita Yacht & Surf Club and the Vallarta YC, this event features three days of destination racing, with stops at Punta Mita, La Cruz and Paradise Marina. There is no entry fee, but it is a fundraiser. Vallarta YC Chili Cook-Off — December 5, the day after the Blast. This is the Vallarta YC's biggest fundraiser of the year. Held at Paradise Marina. Subasta, presented by the Club Cruceros de La Paz — December 6. Now in its 21st year, this is the club's biggest fundraiser, and coordinates with the respected Fundación Ayuda Niños La Paz, A.C. (FANLAP), which fights the good fight for the truly underprivileged kids of La Paz. The money raised is used to buy kids the basics such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo and soap, socks, underwear, and school supplies. Last year 400 simple Christmas presents were bought for kids who otherwise wouldn't have even gotten a piece of coal. Zihua SailFest — February 2-9. Page 164 • Latitude 38 • October, 2009 Conceived on a whim by the publisher of Latitude, thank goodness a series of more serious and responsible people took charge, and over the years have turned this into a stunningly successful cruiser fundraiser for local schools. Sea of Cortez Sailing Week — early April. 'Nothing serious' cruiser racing from La Paz to Caleta Partida to Isla San Francisco and back. It's free, but it's fundraiser, too. Loreto Fest, Puerto Escondido, Baja — early May. The big cruiser gathering in the Sea of Cortez includes four days of fun and fundraising. Lots of cruisers like to make contributions on a personal rather than group level. For instance, when Wayne Hendryx and Carol Baggerly of the Brisbanebased Hughes 45 Capricorn Cat were in Mexico last year, they met a woman named Pat at Casa Fresca in one of the small Banderas Bay communities. Pat teaches local women how to sew, and she's desperately in need of a sewing machine. Any kind of sewing machine. If you can help, contact richard@latitude38.com, and we'll see that it gets to her. Wayne and Carol are also collecting clothes that are in good condition for the kids aged 2 to 10 at the orphanage in Bucerias, as well as pens, pencils and paper for the school kids. The stuff you never use or that you think of as junk, can have tremendous value for children in Mexico, some of them who literally live in city dumps. Remember, too, that parts of Baja were hit badly by hurricane and later n tropical storm Jimena. If you've got room on your boat, try to bring something along for those folks, particularly the kids. Our only caution is to be very careful when giving cash to charitable organizations, for just as in the United States, the money often ends up in the wrong pockets. On August 31, 'Lectronic reported that 63-year-old Jim Cheshire of the Alberg 35 Godot was overdue on a singlehanded passage from Ecuador to the Marqueas. His family has since reported he's fine. We hope you're fine, too, and that this will be your year to go cruising. Come to Mexico and repair your boat at ➤ 88-ton (max) Travelift!
