Home Cruise Port Article - Numero Uno

Look, when politicians smell pesos... and jobs... and new sources of tax revenue... it's the freakin' perfect storm. They couldn't even build a new marina on Sandy Beach. What, in God's name, makes them think they'll be able to build a huge pier or port or whatever for these cruise ships? If the marina was going to cause damage to the "ecologically sensitive" reefs off Sandy Beach, what in the hell will cruise ships do?

Sorry, I still think this is all smoke and mirrors. As soon as they finish the new "Monte Carlo style international casino" that was promised, float those cruise ships full of suckers on in. Penasco will be lucky to be a stop, not a homeport destination. I just don't see it happening, at least, during my lifetime.

It would be a good job for the panga owners to go fetch people 10 miles out.

Just think of the reef creation possibilities when they run aground out there... :rofl:

How is the Guaymas Cruise port comming along?
How many ships have arrived so far this year?

I just want to say I've never been on a cruise, and probably never will be (we always seem to drive the road less traveled). I was just reporting on what's happening with the Home Port in Penasco.

Charging $20 a head to get you to shore, then the cabs changing you another $20 to get to the malecon!!!

I like the way you say "please don't shoot the messenger".
