enter by dinghy. Bldgs & Travelift are in, road paved, docks built but ashore, basin not being dredged.
Pg. 50: Pangueros from both Anabel’s fuel barge or Enrique’s fuel pier compete for your promise to buy fuel
from their source, are paid only a tiny commission. To avoid meter over-reading on big pier, get it in writing first.
If you can prove you’ve been ripped off, ask them to make it right. If that doesn’t work, ask the local Naval Marine
Commander to adjudicate the case. Or complain to Tourist Police in Mexico City (55) 5250-0123.

Pg. 58 - 62: Hurricane ‘09 damage repaired at Boca de Soledad, new entrance buoys set but may not be well
maintained, so try to hire a local panguero guide to get you inside and 5 miles down to Puerto Adolfo Lopez Mateos
(formerly called La Soledad). Contact [email protected] for guides. No problem anchoring at Bahia Santa Maria &
Man of War Cove, but Puerto San Carlos piers still removing debris as of June 2010; use caution with channel buoys.

Pg. 213-214: Marina Puerto Isla Navidad new phone is (314) 337-9008 x 102. Town anchorage WNW of Pig
Island silts up; access Cabo Blanco channel from east of isla. Markers and depths to the marina’s fuel dock in back
lagoon are fine, but due to silting in early 2010 , use caution getting to free anchorage. Cruisers share FREE list of
local services. Morning VHF net is active in winter cruising season. French Baker delivers to boats then.

Pg. 232-235: Puerto Vicente Guerrero (a.k.a. Papanoa) homes now ring south-facing Carbales cove, where
a newly erroded rocky bottom was reported (June 2010) in the W half of the bay. New artificial reef was created
near Isla Roqueta Light Rock, use caution enterning Acapulco harbor. La Marina still rents moorings & a few

Pg. 236: Acapulco Yacht Club has expanded its north dock. New 2nd phone for Sr. Jose Maria Marquez at

Pg. 246: New 45’ long fuel dock is along the starboard seawall as you enter Huatulco’s tiny municipal

in port and shore boats zoom in and out of the darsena. New phone for Marina Chahue (958) 587-6252, new
dockmaster, new email: [email protected]. This is still good spot for awaiting T’peck.
Pg. 251: Left column: Correction: GPS positions were reversed for Boca de San Francisco (16°09.63’N,
94°44.96’W) and Boca de Tonalá (15°58.23’N, 93°57.28’W). Boca de San Francisco blocked as of June 2010
Pg. 252: Puerto Chiapas (formerly Puerto Madero): South entrance jetty has a new 500-yard dog-leg
extension bending WSW; red jetty light is located on the new seaward end. New GPS approach waypoint a half
mile west of the entrance is 14°41.84’N, 92°25.37’W. Expect to be boarded and inspected by Navy each time you
go in and out of Puerto Chiapas; this is normal & required. New marina in construction is slated to open fall 2010.
This will provide another good place to await weather window for crossing Gulf of Tehuantepec. Check new 3rd
edition of “Mexico Boating Guide.” See full details on Guatemala’s coastal waters and more in “Cruising Ports:
