Kudos to Rick and Heike Carpenter of Rick’s Bar for being SailFest HQ, Zihua Port Captain for all his help, Las Gatas Beach Club for hosting several events and the 70 local businesses that pitched in to donate over $4,000 in raffle and auction prizes, and the 100 golden-hearted “cruisers” that worked to create and participate in this fabulous international event. At the Sail Parade from Zihua to Ixtapa, 61 boats flew their beautiful billowing sails and colors for all to enjoy. A generous cash gift by Bill Underwood boosted revenues, and the Underwood Foundation pledged support for SailFest 2004, already pegged for Jan 29 – Feb 1 (tune into www.zihua-ixtapa.com/sailfest for ongoing news and pics).
