2024 La Paz Cruiser's Guide!

The La Paz Cruiser's Guide is hot off the presses with new entries, changes and corrections to the previous edition. The Club relies on you, the users of the guide, to keep it up to date with recommendations of new entries and any changes. Email the Club at crucerosdelapaz@gmail.com with any suggestions.

Please support the many local businesses that have advertised in the guide. Without them, we could not have brought the La Paz Cruiser's Guide to you for free.

The guide is available in the Clubhouse and in many businesses around town, or you can always download it or view it online HERE.

Celestial Navigation Classes are Back!

Mondays & Thursdays, 10 am - Noon in the Vista Room

This is an ancient method of determining a position using the positions of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, stars, and planets. It was a skill that was the primary way sailors navigated the oceans before modern electronic navigation systems. Taught by Isabella, this is an on-going class; drop-ins are welcome. No experience or sextant necessary. Bring a pencil and paper. 

FREE! Yoga in the Vista Room Monday thru Friday!

Attention All Boat Owners in the Bay of La Paz

To ensure the responsible, orderly, and safe use of our bay, all boat owners are requested to comply with the following provisions:

If you do not have the means to remove your vessel or know the owner of a vessel or remains located in the bay, please visit the offices of the Port Captain of La Paz. The offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, where you will receive the necessary guidance.

The deadline to comply with these provisions is Monday, August 26, 2024. After this date, vessels that have not been removed will be transferred to a storage area. To retrieve them, you will need to provide proof of ownership and cover the costs of transfer and storage. Additionally, administrative procedures will be initiated in applicable cases.

Consequences of Non-Compliance:

Change to the DVD Loaner Program!

DVDs aren’t completely obsolete, but with the availability of WiFi and Starlink and not a great number of DVD players anymore, we have seen a sharp decline in the checking out of our collection.

A wonderful member, Homer, has spent the last few weeks going through the hundreds of cases and matching them with the DVDs in the coffee room. The DVDs with cases will be categorized alphabetically by title, and checking them out will no longer be required. You can simply take a DVD and bring it back when you are done, or pass it on. Feel free to donate DVDs with cases and in good condition, just like our books!

Club Cruceros Partners with Mar Libre

Club Cruceros is proudly supporting the efforts of the local conservation group, Mar Libre, in the removal of derelict boats and debris from the La Paz beaches and educating students through their in-school Pollution Prevention Classes. We have donated $20,000 pesos from the Charity Committee to pay a teacher honorarium, and another $20,000 from our disaster fund recently paid for the removal of the powerboat Chief and a huge piece of floating dock that was breaking apart. Mar Libre also organizes monthly beach cleanups and welcomes volunteers. If you would like to personally donate to these maritime efforts or volunteer, go to the Mar Libre Facebook page for details and to contact the founder, Pablo Ahuja. See the photos here...

Dues Increase... For Some

When you pay your Club dues online at the Club Cruceros website you will see the cost has been raised to $12 US. Due to the weakness of the US dollar, the board voted to increase the annual dues beginning June 1, but only for those paying via PayPal. For those paying at the Clubhouse, dues remain $200 pesos per person. Thanks for keeping Club Cruceros afloat over the years through your membership  support.

Bayfest 2024

And that’s a wrap. 5 days of Bayfest. It was a huge success due to the hard work of an incredible crew of volunteers. Seminars, sailboat race, workshops, chili cook off, luau, happy hours, cards, wine tasting, dinghy poker, hot dogs & beer, horseshoes, bocce ball, raffle prizes and many, many new and old friends. It was a blast, and this year was enjoyed by over 100 cruisers and local ex-pats. Check out some photos here... and we hope to see you April 3–6 next year!
