Also, I always try to by-pass Cabo and P.V. and continue to Barra de Navidad. Very nice place and old Mexico village. Cheapest fuel I have found is at the Pemex fuel dock past the Mexican Navy base in Manzanillo. Stay out of Salina Cruz (a real hassle) and if you are inshore, follow Dave's advice about Tehuan-a-pecker. I have run this coast a dozen times with one foot on the beach, in a 50 knot sand blast with no problems. Puerto Madera, though a commerical port does allow you get to visit Tapachula, one of my most favorite cities in Mexico. Go to the zocalo in the evening for great food, coffee, handmade ice cream and live marimba music.
