Waterskiing happens on a semi regular basis, usually on Sunday mornings. It is an event that doesn't involve many people, so it's not a big money maker, but is fun to watch.

For those of us that paddle, swim and kayak, it can be a bit of an inconvenience. We, however, when paddling, look at it as another way for our friends and beach vendors to make a bit more money. Most of the boat drivers know/recognize us and choose their routes around us and we do our best to accommodate them too.

Helmut of the old Villa del Sol used to water ski regularly with his own boat, and later he had a motorized surf board he'd cruise around the bay on that was pretty cool. And back in the early 70's an Olympic skier from Switzerland named Hans would ski barefoot around the bay. He was a regular visitor and part-time resident here for a few decades. I wonder if anyone reading here remembers him.

Oh yes Hanz!
He had a brother named Franz, no?
And they loved to PUMP YOU UP, no!?!

Guerrero's health officials confirm 3 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 73 in Acapulco, and 174 in the entire state.

Residents and visitors suffered another one of our picture-postcard perfect days. Not one snowflake or even a chilly breeze. Just a radiant sun in a bright blue sky over a warm super-calm Zihuatanejo Bay. I don't know why water-skiing isn't a thing here anymore. It used to be. Today would've been a perfect day for it.

Now's also a perfect time to go whale watching. This is something everyone should enjoy from the water with a trained guide, and one of the best guides in the region, Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Charters, offers a selection of beautiful luxury yachts for private charters and personalized tours. This is where wonderful memories happen.

Sailboats and pangas sit at anchor while water taxis race back and forth across the bay bringing passengers back from Playa Las Gatas trying to beat each other to the pier platforms.
