Mexico Tourism Seminar Tomorrow

Although Hurricane Carlos is causing havoc south of the border — and other storms may follow — by the time the hurricane season ends in the fall, hundreds of sailors will be heading south, as always, to enjoy Mexico’s sunny latitudes during the winter months. If you intend to be one of them, and you’re in the San Diego area, you’d be wise to attend tomorrow’s informational lunchtime seminar put on by Mexico Tourism especially for boaters.

But come early, as seating will definitely be limited. The free event will take place in conjunction with the San Diego International Boat Show at noon Thursday in the Catalina Room of the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina; 1590 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101 (adjacent to Cabrillo Isle Marina).

This will be an ideal opportunity to clarify the sometimes-confusing elements of Mexican immigration regulations, boat importation procedures and additional rules. We applaud Mexican Tourism for taking this proactive step.
