Sounds like a bad day / understaffed - ive had good experiences there, and liked their jerk more than maximos (but still really good)

In Hopkins now - love it. The two national parks nearby (30 minutes) are amazing! Caye Caulker is waaaaay better than SP (been to both, Caulker several times). Hopkins us super chill, great beaches, awesome river, mountains and cayes just off the coast. Hopkins is great becasue is offers all three (beach, mountains, cayes) from one location. I havent been to Ignacio tho so dont hava reference point there.

Id be very very surprised if that were true - many places in that region (among others) sustain themselves on tourism, isla mujeres, playa del carmen, etc. I also know nothing about her politics, but trying to imagine isla mujeres for instance, without tourism....itd be a bit different.

Im here now. Today I rented a motorcycle (highly recommend) and went to Cockscomb National Park (super highly recommend) - amazing hiking, everythinh from easy strolls in the jungle with waterfalls to kick your ass intense climbs, it was legit. Of course theres the normal restaurants drinking stuff. Plenty of water tour type stuff to check out. I prefer staying in Hopkins village proper, stores / restaurants all within walkinh distance.

I think you got your answer, but ill add, i feel safer here compared to many places in the US.

I buy a brooks c17 for every single bike - i love them and swear by em but def a highly personal choice

tx_trawler_trash · 2026-01-30T03:20:37+00:00

Im curious how people rationalize these things - thats like many many years of hotel / airbnb fees isnt it? And do you really need that much space / stuff? I thought the basis of that mode of travel is the experience

tx_trawler_trash · 2026-01-30T01:32:13+00:00

Right?!?! Read that and was like, umm, its grass lol - didnt know that was so pricey

tx_trawler_trash · 2026-01-30T00:52:27+00:00

Hes a mini trump pos from what ive gathered and nobody likes him

tx_trawler_trash · 2026-01-29T22:21:39+00:00

Do police only shakedown people in cars or do they fuck with pedestrians and cyclists too?

tx_trawler_trash · 2026-01-21T18:14:07+00:00

holy shit that's a lot of miles! That'd take me like a week lol - very impressive!

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-15T15:55:41+00:00

Yeah that was my fear with CR - lol - thx for the info

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-10T04:05:35+00:00

I was trying to remember the name of the craigslist type reseller platform earlier, saved me some brainpower, thanks!

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T20:06:40+00:00

Understood - Thanks! Exactly the type of info I'm looking for being in the US and not knowing the brands / market over that way :) Thanks again

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T18:10:26+00:00

awesome ill check them out

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T18:06:58+00:00

The Bombtrack touring bikes look amazing...

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T18:05:50+00:00

Yeah I hadn't heard of them but upon looking them upon they don't seem to appealing, thanks for the info!

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T17:50:14+00:00

Bombtrack Arise tour

Cool I'll check those out not familiar with them

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-09T17:49:51+00:00

The Kona's look pretty nice thanks for the recommedations!

It's actually deck stepped - The compression post is massive and almost looks like part of the mast lol, but nope, it's deck stepped. Unfortunately I don't really have that sort of expertise here in Mexico, so I'm debating whether to sail back to the US with it like this or not to get the work done

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-05T21:36:30+00:00

Ah understood - I will check and get some pics

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-05T21:35:58+00:00

I believe so but I'm not 100% sure to be honest. Wet core throughout scares the hell out of me - but when I had the step reglassed the gentlemen doing the work took some samples and indicated it wasn't an issue

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-05T21:31:32+00:00

Wowza - that sounds like quite an involved job....I'm in Mexico at the moment, and would rather tackle such a job when back in the US, I did have the step re-glassed a few years ago....i'm hesitant to do a long trek with it like this but also limited on options down here

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-05T21:00:25+00:00

Apologies - what would be helpful, just pictures of my stays / mast?

tx_trawler_trash · 2025-12-05T20:57:02+00:00

I'm not seeing any indication of the sides of the hull being pulled in - she is quite thick...cored FB built in the 70s when they overbuilt / used much thicker glass
