Marina for small sailboat San Felipe?
Haven't been to San Felipe since abt 1982 and I know it ain't the same. Can anyone tell me if any type of itty bitty marina has been built there?
Size of boat is a trailerable Santana 24' water ballast. Thanks

Great! Can you tell me about it like how hard it is to put in a boat and stay on it for a few weeks there? Is the cost a San Diego price or for the
middle class kinda sailor that the marinas of the west coast have booted out because we are smaller that 32"? Have a website or a contact? Thanks

Oddly enough, it's not that kind of Marina. It is more of a commercial Marina for the Shrimpers and Pangas No traditional slips, or showers on shore
with a BoatU.S store.
But I have seen a few sailboats in the past over the years in there. I'm not a sailor but I take it a water ballast is does not have as much draft as
a fixed keel? Because launching looks tough at the ramp, unless it is a major high tide.
San Felipe is a quick drive from Southern California, sounds like you need a road trip to check things out and see the Capitan de Puerto.

It's about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday evening, and I can hear the wind picking up. We've had more than one wind/sand storm during this holy week, but we've
also had some great weather. I had an oportunity to go to the marina (harbor) Tuesday early evening, and I enjoyed a nice dinner with some friends and
took a few photos. They have really come a long way with the slips. They have water and electric just like a real "marina" and quite a few boats
moored there.
Directly accross from the the marina, they are constructing another mini "panga marina" which will house the fishing pangas. From what I understand,
the will have to dredge this part a bit, but that's expected. There was a lot of activity out there, as many boats were coming in and they have to
take their turns while someone goes for the trailer to pull the boat out. There is also a heavy army and navy presence out there, so that just adds to
the safety of the boats moored there and often times deters any would be mistchief makers. (I'm being kind tonight). The Tony Reyes and a couple of
other boats were up on shore for maintenance, but will soon find their way back into the harbor when they are finished, as there are trips planned.

A "rosy" picture is being painted here. We drove riight by the Marina on Wednesday coming home. I am being kind by saying they have a long way to go,
like picking up the trash and remove the junk cars...
