Yes the boats are put away for Hurricane season but the dingy and umbrellas are handy............. Join us for the Umbrella Downwind run through Marina La Cruz. All you need is something that floats and an Umbrella!

The summer solstice has been celebrated for centuries, with all sorts of traditions growing up around the event. In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice is usually celebrated on the 21st of June, but this year in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, it will be celebrated on Saturday, June 20 with an Umbrella Downwinder and Paddle Rally through Marina Riviera Nayarit.
