The answer to yesterday’s question is Barra de Navidad, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, halfway between Puerto Vallarta and Lázaro Cárdenas. From a post from just over a year ago, see a map here. Yes, Roger, the baker’s boat with an English language sign was a “red herring,” or a donut among croissants. It turns out the baker is originally from Montreal, so maybe a sign on the back says boulangerie francaise. His place in town is called El Horno Frances, and you can befriend it here.

Last time I used this title was more than a decade ago here. The newest lube tanker in the sixth boro is Lesney Byrd, working here already for almost two years.
Here’s a closer-up of the pump meters.
Today was spring-like in the harbor, as you can see from the haze surrounding the island.

Maybe the sixth boro needs a French bakery boat….

And congratulations to Roger for getting the right answer. And with a boat called Belen in a port called Barra de Navidad, it sounds like a Christmas-y place.

He reminds me of Aldo, who used to (and maybe still does?) cruise around Great Salt Pond at Block Island, selling baked goods, coffee and newspapers.
I haven’t been out there in quite a while, anyone know if he’s still at it?
