Cruisers Roundtable - Casa De La Paz - Marilyn and Jim Moxin

Cruisers Roundtable

Please join us for a very special presentation by Marilyn and Jim Moxin who are establishing a badly needed care home for seniors in our area.  Ground has been broken on this compassionate project, and they will be here to explain how they started, why they started and what they hope to accomplish and provide for the community. Please come and listen to these two catalysts for transformation in Bucerias. You will be inspired by their story and by their great work.

See you at the Club!

POSTPONED: Cruisers Roundtable - The Ocean in Purgatory Project - Mike Danielson and Friends

Due to injury, we have to postpone this event.

Mike Danielson of PV Sailing started The Ocean in Purgatory Project 9 years ago, restoring a local catamaran with a mission to have students learn more about our ocean and marine life.   

Since 2014, the vessel has never moved and remained in Nuevo Vallarta. 

But... It looks like Mike has another chance to produce this mission! 

The project; The 51' Performance Catamaran "Purgatory" is the sailing platform for the Marine Science program "The Ocean in Purgatory Project"

The Ocean in Purgatory Project is a Marine Science research program. The classroom is Banderas Bay and the Ocean coast of Pacific Mexico. 

The Catamaran "Purgatory" is the lab. Students from all over North America are involved in a research study program to help identify our human impact on the Ocean and monitor its state of health. 

We need to change our destructive trend …. If we kill the ocean we kill ourselves. 

Students that sail on Purgatory will be studying on a totally “Green” platform as well as be part of the sailing team while onboard. 

The quest is to run a Plankton, Humpback Whale, and Manta Ray survey for the region, monitor the interaction between tourism and this unique marine population, sample water quality, and 3D map the bay.

Please join us to learn more!
