Another concern for people is police. I haven't many issues with police the entire time I've lived or visited Mexico. ⁠ ⁠ My biggest tips:⁠ 🗣️ It does help to know Spanish. If you plan on visiting Mexico, take some time to learn. It's not only helpful in sticky situations but also unlocks more experiences of the culture and people, which is the whole point of travel.⁠ 👮‍♀️ Follow the laws. Don't speed or drive like an turd. ⁠ 🚨 If you do get pulled over, do whatever you can to not bribe the police. Foreigners opting to pay cash directly to police is why people continue to have problems with them. If you get pulled over, ask for an official multa (ticket) and to go to the station to pay it directly. This takes more time, but sometimes insisting on not giving the police officer petty cash will make them drop the issue all together.⁠ ⁠ Finally, don't let the news scare you. Are there certain parts of Mexico that are dangerous? Yes, of course, just like any other country, but Baja is pretty well protected as a tourism hot spot.⁠

I giorni passano veloci, ma mai veloci quanti Julia su questo oceano così maestoso. Ormai le miglia diminuiscono in un modo più tangibile, vedere 300, poi 200 miglia all’arrivo è molto diverso che leggere 1500 e poi 1400. Sentiamo il profumo di terra. Oggi abbiamo letto tutte le informazioni su Horta e sull’isola di Fajas, prima tappa che faremo alle Azzorre. C’è fermento nell’aria. Tanta voglia di visitare, esplorare, scoprire quel verde così unico al mondo che solo alle Azzorre si presenta così rigoglioso, ma altrettanto piacere nel navigare così. La barca sembra ormai essersi tolta di dosso la fatica, aver spezzato il fiato come si dice in gergo podistico. Corre senza farcelo sentire, come un cavallo libero nella prateria che non sente il peso del suo cavaliere. Raggiungiamo i 9 nodi, la prua fende l’acqua come una lama nel burro e, ogni tanto, infila il naso nel mare per rinfrescarsi un po’. Dettaglio non trascurabile: siamo passati da 31,2 gradi di temperatura dell’acqua del mare a 21.5. E si sentono tutti! L’aria è frizzante, gli spruzzi del mare taglienti. Meno male che ci aspetta l’estate e non l’inverno. Passare dal calore caraibico ai ghiacci alpini sarebbe stato troppo drastico. Udite udite: domani si pronostica l’arrivo. In serata. Speriamo non in notturna per non avvistare luci anziché terra. Staremo a vedere! Ci leggiamo domani con una prevista emozione addosso a livello mille! A domani, Andrea

Few British pre-war cruiser-racers have had so much love and care lavished on them, but this striking 50 ft classic yawl - Fred Shepherd’s last design - thoroughly deserves it. AMOKURA's story is remarkable and her ability legendary. Almost as if she demanded it, her few owners over more than 80 years have always let her off the leash as a long-distance cruiser and passage racer; in present ownership she has completed the past two Fastnet Races and cruised extensively. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/775/AMOKURA Through the lessons learned during voyages that offer time to think, AMOKURA has been refined and improved to the extent that she is most probably a more able yacht than when launched by Moody's in 1939. Yet she is doing exactly what her designer and commissioning owner envisaged. Down below that is achieved with rather more comfort than the 1930s sailor accepted, but with no loss of charm and period feel. AMOKURA is very special, and, of course, she doesn't need to be sailed far away to be enjoyed and to give back.
