Around The World In 80 Waves

Again I put the hammer down on the extremely expensive toll road, because I am playing catch up on where I was hoping to be again. A long day of driving will get me back in the water so I am willing to just drive all from dawn to dusk and then enjoy the spoils of my labour.

On the way south I try not to even stop at the lights in Culiacan which is known as ‘Narco City’ because of its heavy involvement in the drug trade. Perhaps next time I will call in…

I was told it would take five hours to get to Mazatlan but burned there in just three and a half, really pleased to be back on track and passing into the Tropical region of the world on my way south.

Immediately I arrived there I got chatting with a lovely family from the Great Lakes area of Canada who buy me an ice cold beer which I practically inhale because it is so hot.

I have just missed the big Mardi Gras festival which is one of the world’s largest but there must be some sort of film festival on now because there are these giant statues all along the sea front. Sadly there are no waves to greet me, because the sea is virtually flat. Never mind I will push further on because I always have miles to cover in Mexico
