it usually means the pic isn't where it is supposed to be or that your computer is screwy?.... in my experience anyway
the pics are on photobucket and i haven't changed anything. try right clicking on the x and selecting 'show image' other n that, i have no idea. |

re the boats...
I do think it is a nice sight, you see it all over Mexico...at the same time Kirby also make a good point. Playa is really not known as a great fishing destination, but a beach one...it would be nice if they could make a marina or if there were a natural inlet they could use- but there isn't. The coolest set-up we ever saw in Mexico for boats was the semi-natural inlet at Barra de Navidad...very cool. The breakwater/pier at the far south end of the main beach in the foreground (there is a great surf break created too by the pier).   The channel passing through from the protected open ocean and large back lagoon....(that is actually an island, Isla Navidad, and you can take water taxis over there to the hotel/golf course)...    and the back lagoon...   ....they were building up a wall...   many boats had slips and dry docking areas...  and there was an upscale neighborhood farther over that actually has slips for each home....works great! Although there was already and island and a natural lagoon, of course the slips and stuff were mad-made- lots of dredging went on. Of course, Playa does not have this, because it is open ocean....this type of thing is fairly common on the Pacific coast. But they could still dredge a marina. I bet they don't simply because of the cost/benefit ratio- fishing is simply not that popular, and Puerto Adventurous has a marina. |

A sand question
Over in Cancun before Wilma had her way there, I was able to run on the Beach barefoot from the Royal Sands all way to the point past the Westin and back. Nice soft sand. It was great.
After Wilma, when they attempted to reclaim the beach with sand, it of course was far from what it was. But the tough part for me and my wife was that the sand was really rough. If you are just hanging out at the beach, it was no big deal. But running 6-8 miles on it, well lets just say my feet got a little raw in spots. ouch We are coming back down to Playa in March and I was wondering how the sand is now? It was ok in December, but curious what the additional sand is like. |
