Thanks for share the info.
Mexico has been on my no travel band for a number of years now.
Cheers.

No hint of trouble in Puerta Vallarta. Has always been safe. My self, family, and several partners in a property development were involved with go there regularly. No issues at all.
Wifey B: Is the Cleveland in your profile, the one in Ohio, the one referred to as "The Mistake on the Lake?" If so, that's harsh coming from there.
I've been to Cleveland. I was actually docked there on June 19, 2016, which was a very tragic day for me.Can't believe the Cavaliers beat my boys.
We stayed a couple of extra days but the place went wild and parades and celebrating and all that stuff. It was nice to see for the city though, a lot of very happy people and no riots or anything like some places have had. My fave things there. 1-Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 2-Great Lakes Science Museum. 3-Cleveland Museum of Art. 4-Some car and plane museum but I'm too lazy to look it's name up right now. 5-The Money Museum. I like money but they wouldn't give you any there. Fed Reserve. Sort of cool.
I wouldn't go into the interior of Mexico and wouldn't want to go by car. I'd still go to the coastal areas, just even more careful, but I understand you saying you wouldn't. Can't get much more dangerous and remain on my list to go though.
Sorry to hear about your boys being beat. The Cavs got lucky!![]()
What is the consensus on the Sea of Cortez?

I hope OK. We are heading there this winter.
Well, when you are boarded at midnight by eight guys wielding machetes, could you post a location on TF so we can avoid that area?

We currently sit in San Diego, waiting for the Mexico Gates to open in November.
So, here's my moral dilemma: my crew doesn't read TF, and most likely won't be aware of the warning. Do I a) make a Skipper's Decision to proceed, or b) open the topic up to the crew for debate ?![]()
I wonder how these areas of Mexico compare to oh say, Chicago? The point is common sense but then again there hasn't been much of that sighted in the last 20-40 years.
So the takeaway seems to be: If you are part of the illicit/criminal subset you already understand the higher level of risk you expose yourself and everyone around you to, if not you soon will. If you're a tourist act and behave like one and you'll far more than likely be just as relatively safe as you have always been. If you're a local, expat or dual citizen you where just as aware as the criminals which areas required more vigilance before the advisory was issued.
