She didn\u2019t make it and instead, sank in approximately 1,000 feet of water. Nobody was injured. Apparently all passengers were taken off the boat down Mismaloya way and there were Bomberos on board with pumps, attempting to get the boat back to the port before the inevitable, the unthinkable happened, she sank.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a press release I found on The Tinta Libre Facebook Page\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><em>Marigalante \u2026..<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>*Press release*<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Marigalante: Puerto Vallarta&#8217;s pride and legacy<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, October 10, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The company that owns the Marigalante vessel informs the Puerto Vallarta community that, following a failure in its bilge system, the historic galleon sank this Friday off the city center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The incident occurred while the crew was attempting to return to port for technical repairs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>At the Buenaventura Hotel, the system failures became more severe, and the ship began to slowly sink in the waters that had been its home for more than three decades.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>From the very beginning, security protocols were activated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All passengers were safely evacuated and are safe, thanks to the immediate and responsible action of the crew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The company expresses its deep gratitude to the maritime, port, and Civil Protection authorities for their timely and supportive support during the incident.

Hey, if you know, you know.<\/p>\n<h3>Waves Generated by Hurricane Priscilla Pummel Puerto Vallarta&#8217;s Coast October 7, 2025<\/h3>\n<p>Now the second event actually occurred first several days ago beginning in the morning of October 7th, when \u00a0high waves generated by Hurricane Priscilla which passed about 450 kilometers west of the Bahia de Banderas on the 6th. Although there was not a drop of rain in the two days the hurricane passed by the bay on October 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 6th, and by the way in Vallarta, the winds were nonexistent, but it was the waves that pummeled the coastline and flooded and severely damaged several popular restaurants. \u00a0El Barracuda and Restaurant El Solar took big hits in Colonia Cinco de Diciembre with waves just clobbering them and destroying the insides of the two restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>All along the Malecon you could see the large swells coming in towards the shore causing huge waves breaking at the shoreline, the waves were slamming into the seawall, and the ocean spray would go 40 to 50 feet into the air sending rocks, sea water and sand raining all over the Malecon. It\u2019s truly a frightening sound to hear these big rocks slamming down on the cement surface of the Malecon. You\u2019d hear the crash of the wave followed by the thumping of these big rocks from the bay being tossed into the air by these giant waves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13066\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13066\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.23_1fef0a61-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.23_1fef0a61-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.23_1fef0a61-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.23_1fef0a61-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.23_1fef0a61.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waves Pummel Puerto Vallarta Hurricane Priscilla October 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I could actually see the giant splash of the waves from our balcony up in Colonia Alta Vista they were so huge.

Like downtown, Cinco de Diciembre, Zona Romantica, Versalles, you know, the tourist zones mostly. Well, the people have spoken. The residents from the areas to be affected, stormed City Hall with torches and pitchforks, figuratively of course and they scrapped that idea. I give them another 3 years to try again. \u00a0What do you think? Memories are short you know.<\/p>\n<p>At the same meeting the pitchfork guys told the mayor they wanted uninterrupted water service, complaining of course that many neighborhoods have daily water cut offs and unclean water. They said they didn\u2019t want a fancy Ferris Wheel the city was planning on building, they didn\u2019t want them to build Tukiland Parks, they wanted clean, reliable and affordable water service from Seapal, Vallarta\u2019s public water company, and they didn\u2019t want to be treated like second class citizens, taking a back seat to the resorts and big condos who seem to get cleaner, uninterrupted service and in some cases, better pricing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1331\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1331\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Busus-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Busus-1.jpg 665w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Busus-1-300x286.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Busus-1-315x300.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bus Stop For Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They needed a better mass transit system for the people in outlying colonias.

Then at the end of the day, the same. They were mad.<\/p>\n<p>And to back up their beef, they had a big demonstration, a manifestation, and shut down traffic all over town. It was a mess. This all happened at the end of August? \u00a0Wow, it\u2019s really been a long time since I\u2019ve posted an episode, hasn\u2019t it?

My dad\u2019s just been put on hospice, and we thought we\u2019d go back and see him before he checks out. Debbie and I have come to the conclusion that the only reason for us to go back to the US would be for weddings and funerals, and my 95-year-old dad is trying to put that to the test.\u00a0 Lucky for me and for my dad is that my twin brother Gary, lives close enough to my dad\u2019s assisted living home so he&#8217;s able to check in on him daily and I&#8217;m getting daily updates from him as are my older brother and sister. The circle of life and all that stuff.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Right. I promise more frequent episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Dia de Los Muertos is Coming and with it, the beginning of the High Season. I\u2019ll be talking about that in the coming weeks as the date approaches. That is November 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, coming right up.<\/p>\n<h3>Magic Mushrooms and Crumpets<\/h3>\n<p>Debbie and I have been doing a ton of walking since we got in Vallarta. We have no car you see. We like to duck into little shops along the streets of downtown Vallarta just to see what kinds of hidden treasures we can uncover, and we walked into a small caf\u00e9 and art gallery. And the lady there who greeted us at the door said that her tea shop specializes in, get this, magic mushrooms. I\u2019m not sure about the legality of this venture so don\u2019t want to rock her boat but if any of you are interested in micro dosing the hongos magicos, the magic mushrooms, send me an email and I\u2019ll hook you up. Or if you have actually tried this lady\u2019s products, tell me about your experience. We plan to stop by her shop soon to do our due diligence. Remember we don\u2019t do this for us, we do it for you. It\u2019s a sacrifice but someone has to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>A Unsuccessful Mugging in Puerto Vallarta<\/h3>\n<p>We had an unusual thing happen to us a couple of weeks ago. Debbie and I have always felt very safe walking the streets in Puerto Vallarta. We consider our neighborhood quiet and safe. We live up a big hill in Colonia Alta Vista, very close to the yellow house on the hill, Casa Isabel. And there are four ways to get down into the romantic zone from our apartment. One is down steep and windy Calle Pulpito to highway 200, down the street and across from the gasoline station. Another way is down a stairway alongside the big condos, the Soho, the third way is down another stairway at Aguacate, and the forth way down is to walk down calle Pulpito to calle Jacarandas, and then straight down that hill.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things we like to do is have a craft beer at Los Muertos Brewing. We take advantage of their happy hour specials.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13058\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13058\" src=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.16_2b370cea.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.16_2b370cea.jpg 800w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.16_2b370cea-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.16_2b370cea-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puertovallartatravelshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-11-at-23.42.16_2b370cea-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Los Muertos Brewery Special<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From 4-6pm every day you can have a pint of their hand made craft beer for 45 pesos.

So, we were getting ready to head down to Los Muertos for happy hour, and I said to Debbie, hey, let\u2019s take a different route down the hill since we had been favoring the Calle Pulpito route down. It takes about 12 minutes for us to walk from our front door down to Los Muertos. Don\u2019t ask me how I know this. Please. I wouldn\u2019t want anyone to think I have a drinking problem. So, I say to Debbie \u201cif we take the same route all the time, maybe someone will begin to see a pattern and take advantage of us. Like jump us or something. So, Debbie agrees, and we head down the stairway on Aguacate.

It\u2019s got yellow hip level walls or planter boxes with well-manicured plants. The stairway has terraces where you can stop and rest between the sets of stairs. It even has a waterfall feature built alongside the stairway for when it rains. We\u2019ve gone up and down that stairway many times over the last 9 months. \u00a0\u00a0So, we were on our way down the stairs when we came upon a young couple. We could hear them talking as we got closer to them as we walked down the stairs. So, when we turned a corner and saw them, we said hola and they both said hola back. They were messing around with something or somethings that they had on the planter wall where they were standing. It looked like smoking paraphernalia. To me, they looked like a couple of tweakers. Meth users. Smoking drugs. Maybe in their late 20\u2019s, all tattooed and pierced up. A little creepy. So, we exchange holas and Deb and I walk down past them when all of a sudden, the dude tweaker comes running down past us and ends up standing right in front of me and the girl runs past Debbie and now standing behind me. \u00a0So, the Tweaker dude starts yelling at his girlfriend, he was making stuff up to cause a scene. You could tell he was playacting. And he wasn\u2019t good at it. He yells at the girl to pick up her trash and she is yelling back. Then she looks back at Debbie and says \u201cayuda me\u201d which is help me in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Now it was getting very confusing to us so I looked at the dude\u2019s hands to see if he had a weapon or something and I see nada. Maybe he thought he\u2019d be able to overpower me or something and changed his mind when he got right up next to me? I\u2019m not sure. But I\u2019m thinking to myself, Barry, this has got to be the most poorly planned mugging in modern history. They don\u2019t know what to do next, it\u2019s time to move on.<\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019ve mentioned before that Debbie and I are both 6 feet tall and we\u2019re mobile and fit for our age. And this kid, the tweaker was about half my size. Half our size really. \u00a0So, I carefully pushed past the young tweaker dude and then turned to look up the stairs and signaled for Debbie to go ahead and walk down past them both, which she very carefully did. And then we quickly finished the flight of stairs and continued down Aguacate to Lazaro Cardenas and hung a left down the street to Los Muertos Brewing and ordered a pint, each.<\/p>\n<p>Believe me, we\u2019ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on there but I must admit for the first time in our 40 years of visiting paradise, we were more than a bit startled. And in the end our decision to change our route so we wouldn\u2019t get jumped kind of backfired now, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Los Muertos Brewing on Lazaro Cardenas. If you know that area. Looking across the street down towards the beach, there\u2019s Tre Piatti, and then Taqueria Don Chava, The Red Gate Gallery, The Quinta Encanto Hotel, Liquid Men, there\u2019s a barber shop and a doctors office. They are all part of a huge condo project, and all of those businesses have either already moved, or are getting ready to move.
