Greetings 6,809 El Sayulero Subscribers, 

 

Although summer will not officially arrive until the 21st of June, Sayulita residents and visitors have been feeling the increase in temperatures over the last couple of weeks and have been relaxing with the town as it settles into a summer pace. Sayulita received the first rainfall of the year on Tuesday night, affecting the humidity levels in the air and leaving the town damp and the hillsides well-watered for a green summer ahead.

There are still numerous activities in the summer in Sayulita and many upcoming events in town; read below for more information about tonight's Mexi-Punk N'Roll band playing at Don Chow's and an upcoming poker run, to benefit Costa Verde International School. The waves this week may not be at an all-time high, but the swell is perfect for beginner or intermediate surfers and best of all, during this time of year, Sayulita Surf Townno wetsuit needed! I hope everyone in Sayulita is enjoying the summertime vibe.

Here is a quick link to check out Sayulita as one of the most popular surf spots in Mexico. Click here for photos from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Read on and thank you for subscribing to El Sayulero

=========================================
Saludos a los 6,809 lectores de El Sayulero,  
 

Aunque el verano no inicia oficialmente hasta el 21 de junio, los residentes y visitantes de Sayulita han sentido el aumento en las temperaturas durante las �ltimas dos semanas y est�n relaj�ndose mientras todos se acostumbran a la tranquilidad que trae verano a Sayulita. La primera lluvia de la temporada llego este martes en la noche, afectando la humedad en el aire y dejando el pueblo y las colinas bien regadas para un verano verde por adelante.

 

Aun hay muchas actividades que hacer durante el verano en Sayulita y muchos eventos que se llevaran a cabo pronto en el pueblo; leer abajo para mas informaci�n sobre la �nica banda de Mexi-Punk N'Roll tocando esta noche en Don Chow's y un juego de p�ker que va a haber este mes para apoyar Costa Verde International School. Las olas esta semana no son tan grandes pero son buenas para los principiantes o los surfos intermediados, y lo mejor de todo es que durante esta �poca del a�o no se necesita wetsuit. Espero que todos en Sayulita salgan a disfrutan la vibra de verano.

 

Aqu� hay un link para ver Sayulita como uno de los destinos de surf m�s populares en M�xico. Hagan Clic aqui para ver fotos en el San Francisco Chronicle.

Sayulita River Bed Cleanup 

By Lindsay Walter

 

River bed cleanup

On Thursday, June 2nd the community came together to help cleanup the Sayulita river bed, starting from the beach all the way up to San Ignacio. Organizer of the cleanup event, Tracie Willis of Chocobanana decided it was time to clean the garbage, plastic and debris before heavy rains come to Sayulita washing the pollution into the ocean and possibly contaminating the beaches.  More >

Sports Field and Bridge Update For June     

By Leah Jewall

 

Sports Field

The now-completed sports field has seen a lot of activity in the last couple months, with layer upon layer of sand being deposited to every inch of its surface. The numerous dump trucks of sand taken from the elevated river bed served two purposes: to rid the riverbed of the excess silt and sand washed down by last season's floods, and to build up the land base of the sports field, to prevent future flooding and to prepare it for use as a parking lot. More >

 

Ya ha concluido el trabajo del campo del deporte que ha visto mucha actividad en los �ltimos dos meses. Los camiones llevaron capa sobre capa de arena que se depositaron a cada cent�metro de su superficie. Los numerosos cargos de arena extra�dos del lecho del r�o sirven a dos prop�sitos: para liberar el cauce del exceso limo y arena arrastrados por las inundaciones de la temporada pasada, y a crear la base de tierra del campo de deportes para prevenir futuras inundaciones, y prepararlo para su uso como estacionamiento.  Mas > 

 

Update on Miramar Paving      

By Leah Jewall

 

Miramar paving

The paving project on Miramar experienced a couple of setbacks during its first week in operation. Two days into levelling and grading the street, two water pipes were broken, one in front of the vacant lot next to the recently opened Lolita hostel, and the other directly in front of the bookstore, causing a small pond to form in front of the beleaguered flower bed caving under its load of sand. One of the graders also broke down and the crew had to wait a couple days for repairs, while Miramar residents patiently awaited the repair of the water pipes for water access to their homes.  More >

 

La pavimentaci�n de Miramar experiment� un par de contratiempos durante su primera semana en marcha. Durante la nivelaci�n de la calle, dos pipas de agua se rompieron, una frente al terreno bald�o adyacente al recientemente inaugurado Hostal Lolita, la otra a fuera de la librer�a, causando un peque�o estanque de formar frente al jard�n asediado, que ha desaparecido bajo su carga de arena. Luego una de las maquinas se descompuso y la tripulaci�n tuvo que esperar un par de d�as para las reparaciones, mientras que los residentes de Miramar esperaban con paciencia la reparaci�n de las tuber�as para el regreso al agua a sus hogares.  Mas > 

 

SayulitAnimals Spay and Neuter Clinic a Success   

 

Spay and Neuter ClinicSayulitanimals has done it again! Thanks to an amazing team of volunteers, the spay and neuter campaign successfully performed 58 surgeries in three days. Along with these spays and neuters, Cleto, a cat in the emergency medical aid program, received another back operation attempting to graft skin over a large open wound. This amazing event could not have occurred without the dedicated skills of Dr. Charlotte Burns, Bliss Fisher, and Denise Moroni.  More >  

 

�SayulitaAnimals lo logr� de nuevo! Gracias a un grupo fant�stico de voluntarios, la campa�a de esterilizaci�n se realiz� exitosamente con 58 surg�as en tres d�as. Aparte de las esterilizaciones, Cleto, el gato en el programa de asistencia m�dica de emergencias recibi� otra operaci�n de injerto de piel en una herida en la espalda. Este incre�ble evento no se pudo realizar si no fuera por las habilidades y la dedicaci�n de la Doctora Charlotte Burns, Bliss Fisher, y Denise Moroni.  Mas > 

 

Turtle Season Is Back  

By Octavia & Daniel

 

Turtle SeasonAs summer approaches and the arrival of the sea turtles begins, turtle camps around the Bahia de Banderas are getting organized for the long work ahead. Two weekends ago, a symposium was held in Rincon de Guayabitos that brought together those who work in various camps around the area, from Mayto to Nuevo Vallarta to Litibu to Playa Naranjo, as well as representatives from organizations such as Grupos Ecologistas de Nayarit and others from Sinaloa and Baja California to share basic information about physiology, nesting behaviors, federal protection of turtles, methods for measuring and monitoring, and turtle health. More >

 

Ya que se acerca el verano se inicia la llegada de las tortugas marinas, los campamentos tortugueros por la Bah�a de Banderas se est�n organizando para el trabajo por delante. Hace dos fines de semana, se celebr� un simposio en Rinc�n de Guayabitos, que reuni� a los que trabajan en diversos campos alrededor de la zona, desde Mayto a Nuevo Vallarta a Litibu a Playa Naranjo, as� como representantes de organizaciones como Grupos Ecologistas de Nayarit y los de Sinaloa y Baja California para compartir informaci�n b�sica de la fisiolog�a, el comportamiento de anidaci�n, los m�todos de medici�n y seguimiento, y la protecci�n federal y la salud de las tortugas.  Mas >

Hockey Fever in Sayulita  

By Leah Jewall

 

Hockey fever in Sayulita They've never won the Stanley Cup, and have finally made it to the playoffs. After a 17-year hiatus, the Vancouver Canucks have made it to the final round of the Stanley Cup, and Canadians, especially Western Canadians and Vancouverites in particular, are really pumped about the prospect of watching some very exciting hockey over the next week or so, even while vacationing in Sayulita.  More >

GPS: A View From The Air 
By Grupo Pro SayulitaA View From The Air
 
Often we tend to get our minds into all sorts of details without seeing the bigger picture. I thought about this as first my mother (who is holding the record at 97.75 years), and then I, couldn't resist going up in an ultra-light. You know what I'm talking about if you were in Sayulita last month, most days around 6 PM. It's that slow moving two-person "glider" with a loudish motor flying slowly above the town. Actually, we took off from Lo de Marcos and flew along the coast, over San Pancho and then finally over and slightly past Sayulita before taking a U-turn up the coast. Along the way, the ultra-light went down to just a hundred feet above the waving surfers and beach folks, and then up to almost a thousand feet high. More >

A menudo tendemos a conseguir nuestras mentes en todo tipo de detalles sin ver la imagen m�s grande. Pens� acerca de esto como primero mi madre (que tiene el registro en 97.75 a�os), y entonces yo, no podr�a resistir subir en una ultra-luz. Sabe lo que hablo de si estuvo en el mes pasado de Sayulita, la mayor�a de los d�as alrededor de 6 P.M. Es que moviendo despacio "planeador" de dos-persona con un motor de loudish que vuela lentamente encima del pueblo. Realmente, tomamos lejos de Lo de Marcos y volamos por la costa, sobre San Pancho y entonces por �ltimo sobre y Sayulita ligeramente pasado antes de tomar un giro completo arriba la costa. Por el camino, la ultra-luz baj� a s�lo cien pies encima de los surfistas ondeantes y hace embarrancar las gente, y entonces arriba a casi mil pies alto. Mas >
  Surf: Baby, It's Cold Outside         
Baby, It's Cold Outside

By Justin Henderson


Here on Wednesday, June 1, I'm on my way home at last, and can report that all the reports about the impossibly bad weather in the Northwest are true - this has been the crappiest spring following the worst winter in the collective memory of almost everybody I know in Seattle, including my diehard, Northwest-born friends, who claim to like it cold, wet and windy. But they only like it that way 300 days a year.  More >

He aqu� el mi�rcoles, el primero de junio, y estoy al camino a mi casa por fin, y puedo informarles que todos las noticias sobre el tiempo incre�blemente malo en el Noroeste son verdaderas-ha sido la peor primavera siguiente el peor invierno en la memoria colectiva de casi todos que conozco en Seattle, incluyendo a mis ac�rrimos amigos de origen del Noroeste que me dicen les gustan el fr�o, la humedad y el viento. Pero s�lo les gusta que sea as� 300 d�as al a�o.  Mas >
 Sweat Every Day!   

By Josh and Shelly 

 

Sweat Every DayAs we're wiping the sweat off of our bodies after a 2 block walk from the beach yesterday, we were reminded of a Lululemon (yoga clothes) storefront sign we saw in Chicago this past winter (winter,..ha ha): "Sweat Every Day".  More >

Pet of the Week:  "Soleil"    
Soleil
A starving dog in Sayulita? Really? Yes, they are still around! Soleil was one of them. She spent days under a truck and was seen on our main street, Av. Revolucion!  Finally a kind community member spotted her and gave her food and water which she desperately gulped down. They informed Sayulitanimals, and Soleil was promptly put in foster care!  She is a small dog, black with white paws, and a very cheerful and grateful personality. She is easy to be around but will need time to be confident around people. She is spayed and healthy.  It is important that we find her a secure and permanent home quickly.

SoleilUn perro moriendose de hambre en Sayulita? De veras? Si, aun existen. Soleil era una de ellos. Pasaba los dias debajo de una camioneta y se veia por la calle principal, Avenida Revolucion. Por fin un miembro de la comunidad la vio y le dio de comer y agua que tomo con gusto. Informo a Sayulitanimals sobre Soleil y de inmediato fue llevado para estar en su cuidado. Es una perrita pequena, negra con patas blancas y tiene una personalidad amable y agradacida. Le gusta estar cerca de la gente pero ocupa tiempo para acostumbrarse a la gente. Es saludable y esterilizada. Es importante que pronto la encontremos un hogar seguro.

Sayulita Summer

Sayulita summer. Yes it's hot, humid, sticky. But it's also beautiful, quiet...the beaches are empty, the water is warm. We had our first rain on Tuesday night and soon all the hillsides will be amazingly green. I think this is my favorite time of year. See what you're missing?
