As many of you already know from past blogs (like the Three Legged Bar Crawl for Bomberos), the Riviera Maya Bomberos (firemen) are one of my favorite organizations. A strong, trained, and well-equipped fire team is vitally important to not only Playenses, but also tourists. Sooner or later, we all have a fireman to whom we owe a great big “thank you.”
Since August 22 is Mexico’s Dia Nacional del Bombero (National Fireman’s Day), a Sunset Cruise aboard the Catamaya has been organized for Sunday, August 24, with all proceeds from ticket sales to benefit the Riviera Maya Bomberos.
The cruise aboard the amazing Catamaya costs 80 usd per person and will sail from 3.30 pm to 7.30 pm. This price includes transportation to and from Playa del Carmen, sailing, snorkeling, open bar, and hamburgers/side dishes. I’ve been lucky enough to sail with Catamaya’s crew several times and can say nothing but wonderful things about them. They are hard-working, pleasant, friendly, and a barrel of fun.

Don’t miss your chance to mingle with Bomberos Chief Brian Borjesson and some of his firemen…hey, ladies, maybe you’ll get to see this guy:

This thing is going to be on the water, right? Sorry, no boats for me….no matter who the crew is! Besides, I won’t be here. Otherwise I might come down just for the beef, er, hamburger!
