Of course it was going to pass- the federal government is funding this, and committed to seeing it complete.

It's like doubling down on 16 at a blackjack table. Take the remaining funds and complete the improvements Stuart described. As many of us have been saying for years, no cruise ships will ever come to this thing. Stop the madness while it can still be salvaged! They could even save face by saying something like.... "It can be extended to be a port if and when market conditions improve"
 
Or the Mexican government puts in $100 million for dredging? Little chance. I'm loving fishing idea

Sorry guys.....it's still being built.
And I hope it will be completed to perfection, with all the bells and whistles. Number one rule is when you start something finish it better than anyone could have hoped for. If the ships come, then so be it. If they don't, then make it into Stuart's Santa Monica Pier, but make it bigger and better. Bring on the Hobie sailboat races, attract the yacht club, make it a really cool place. But whatever happens, don't leave it an unfinished eyesore.

For all that reported federal deputy, this 2016 will be of major works in Sonora where significant investments in the conservation of road infrastructure, the construction of the desalination plant to Guaymas-Empalme, continue the work of the Home Port de Penasco include, investing 300 million pesos (expected to be completed by the end of 2017).

Checkout the cast blocks.The Norwegians I met met that were experts on Moolis as they call them say this type takes incredible effort and will not last compared to the French method.
I bet it will be a great to fish from and probably snorkel or scuba.....

All kidding aside, the one thing I can say with what is already there, its a bummer not being able to see the boats going into port and the view of the town from the Cholla side of sandy beach. I don't want to imagine how it will look with anything larger than a shrimp boat parked there.
 
It's behind schedule for sure but eventually cruise ships will be coming and going from the Home Port that the Mexican Federal Gov. & State of Sonora have invested heavily in. To the Naysayers, it's going to happen!!!!! It's just going to take more time.

I'm guessing it will be a similar situation as with the international airport. They will finish it to the point of being usable with hopes of ships and passengers showing up. Eventually there should be activity at both places as they will compliment each other but only time will tell.

Guaymas just signed a deal for direct flights to Tucson so maybe we will get that too..that would be great
 
Went out exploring Sunday. Went out past the Myaan to a fish camp. On the way back we decided to check out the airport.
Pulled up and guard came out. Private flights and entry only but hoping for some Mexican airline to start bringing people in. Maybe that is what he spoke of.
He was keeping his fingers crossed, said he was going crazy with nothing to do and worrying about his job. Seamed real happy to see us and have someone to talk to Lol.
