Well bally-hoo and bird fish are the favorite food for Mahi-mahi, Marlin and Sail fish and they are use as bait by the experience fisherman and they go and get them very often so they can have the freshest bait in the area. That is why in our fishing fleet they always have the best catch.

Crabs

They are crustaceans, more than 4,000 different spices are known around the world, most of them live in or close to the water but some of them get to the water only to reproduce. This type of crabs have 5 pares of feet and are able to walk fast but to the side and to swim. They use the pincer to grab food, fight for territory or to courtship. This type I have never see before only at Marina Costa Bonita and these are the most beautiful I have ever seen. They are cute!

Mexican Independence

The Mexican independence started with Miguel Hidalgo’s call on September 16 in 1810. It was a war against the Spanish oppression, The Spanish kingdom was the only authority in the New Spain (now Mexico), also French representatives arrived to Mexico and the Spanish were agree to give the territory to the French as part of an agreement between countries but that only brought more disagreement to the Indians, criollos and mestizos, that wanted the independence of their country, and be treated as humans as equals and to have a government by their own. At the beginning Hidalgo had as an army nothing more than a bunch of Indians with no fire guns only rocks and sticks but they had so much anger contained so they didn’t care.
The independence war did not finish until September 27, 1821, but Spain didn’t recognize their independence until 1836. The group that fought against Spain were known as Insurgentes or Trigarantes, the history recognizes as heroes several men for their valuable intervention some of them are: Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Ignacio Allende, José Ma. Morelos, Felix Calleja, Guadalupe Victoria, Vicente Guerrero, Francisco Xavier Mina, Agustín de Iturbide. Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez and Leona Vicario are the women that history recognizes and are grateful with for their brave and important roll in the Independence.
Mexican celebrate Independence day not the day war finished but the day it started wich is September 16 and this year Mexico is celebrating 200 years of independence. ¡ VIVA MEXICO !

Tips For Furnishing Your New Marina Condo in Mazatlan

Once you have gone thru the signing legal documents and last details in the finish of your condo, you start thinking about the furniture and decoration of your new home, so you want to have a nice place but been in a foreign country you don’t really know where to start looking and you are also concern about the language.
First you have to decide the style, Mexican Colonial, or minimalist, or Mexican modern, etc. That will help you to start. At each City there are a lot of locally own furniture stores, that have furniture in stock and that will save you time, also you can order by catalog and they include a free delivered, but if you are choosing for that option make sure the company you chose has a very good reputation and they are not new in town. Most of the well establish furniture stores have bilingual employees, if not ask your broker and she’ll be glad to translate for you. Mexican people are very honest but the translation will help you to avoid miss understandings.
There is always a better option to go all the way to Guadalajara and chose the furniture from the fabricants, that will save you a good 40 % of the cost than if you are buying in your town, a lot of people preferred to do this, you will have more options, you will enjoy making the trip to a beautiful City and you can also get all the decoration and accessories that match the style that you have chosen.

Pato Pichichín

This duck is from this area in Sinaloa, and is only found here, a few years ago it was in danger to be extinguish, but the government helped by making boxes on the trees to put their nests. This duck in particular, makes its nest on the trees, not on the floor and when the baby duck is ready to leave the nest it jump from the tree to the floor, from there they follow their parents by foot to the nearest lagoon were they raise them. They are usually found at bird island wich is located in front of the beach shores in Mazatlan, and come to El Camarón lagoon, we are lucky to see them every year in Marina Costa Bonita and use our fresh water lagoon in their way to the Island or El Camarón lagoon. Aren’t they just beautiful?
