Maybe I’m the outlier, but I get bored quickly without more adventurous things to do such as traveling to see the sights, etc. Even the Sea of Cortez after a week anchoring out and I got stir crazy. The heat can do that to me too. I definitely couldn’t spend a winter there, great tacos and margaritas not withstanding!
==============================
Spent a hot, humid, unbearable summer in Nuevo Vallarta waiting out the hurricane season.
The time in the marina was unbearable, bought a second hand window a/c and made the difference, during the day on the beach!!!
Will program trips to the inland higher altitudes, there is no end to how much you can travel and explore, all in a budget using their modern bus systems, staying in budget but very pleasant hotels, and endless Mexican cooking.
Plus the welcome cool temperatures.
Bought an oversized backpack and there we went.
The interior will give you a total different view of Mexico compared to coastal that over time has become more of a tourist destination for gringos with money!
My 2 cents observation and wort every one.
I had dental work as well visited emergency care and hospitals, felt standards of care high and prices low.(I am a physician and can evaluate)
And as a bonus, personal attention superb.
Don't recall getting sick to my stomach ever and have sampled the "street vendors" offerings, delicious food and so inexpensive.
Restaurants, no problems, just use judgment and check out the premises as I do in the States.
In a couple of occasions, before committing had a visual check of the cooking area, and decided against, most cruising nets will offer recommendations.
Water, in marinas check what type of purification they use, no problems, if doubts, have delivered to my slip big purified water containers, no problems.
If at anchor, of course my water maker.
Traveling to foreign countries and cultures is a bonus to us, boaters,
