Thirty More Foreign Yachts “Liberated” in Mexico

Following the liberation of all 53 impounded boats at Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz last Thursday, we’ve been told that approximately 30 out of 50 boats impounded at Marina Coral in Ensenada were released a day or so later. It’s a four-day Flag Day holiday in Mexico, so the exact numbers of released boats was not available.

Among the released boats is one that fled Mexico for the States in the middle of the night a while back. "Liberating" a boat that already illegally fled your country . . . that pretty much sums up this fiasco.

While more than 100 of the original 338 boats are still impounded after more than two months, the situation remains outrageous, but at least things have been picking up speed in the right direction. But the quicker Mexico can resolve this dreadful public relations blunder and begin the long road of restoring the faith with foreign boat owners, the better.

If your boat is impounded, please keep us informed, as we don’t want you or your boat to be forgotten.
