Puerto Escondido Yesteryear' and Today
 For many many years this picture of the "Skidbladner" hung on the walls of Frank Garbutt; his family often wondering where the picture was taken. Charles Hathaway, grandson of Frank Garbutt now in his 80’s shared the picture via B. J. and Steve Curran. When the HPYC club house is revamped the picture will hang there or in the HPYC history books. A family member was visiting the Sea of Cortez putting in at Danzante. Sitting relaxing taking in the peaceful surroundings and watching the dolphins at play the imposing Giganta Gorillas came into view. A light in the memory went off, taking a picture of the mountains. When arriving back home the mystery was solved when the two pictures were compared; the “Skidbladner” had been in Puerto Escondido. Frank A. Garbutt, an oil magnate and industrialist whose enthusiasm for sports was the founder of the today’s Los Angeles Athletic Club. He was involved in its daily affairs and finances, from 1890 to 1947 Perhaps the beautiful Puerto Escondido harbor, surrounding islands, and the majestic Giganta Mountain was Franks inspiration when he started the California Yacht Club in 1922.

Looking at the pictures from past years the harbor, ellipse, and waiting room have not changed since sometime after 1985. Today there are many changes happening at Puerto Escondido. Fonatur is developing the land surrounding the harbor and ellipse for housing. Most of the infrastructure is in, wide double lane boulevards lined with palm trees,  smooth concert sidewalks, electricity etc. The picture from September 2009 shows the new malecón along the ellipse wall. “It has been heard” lots will become available in the fall; and the golf course is to commence at this time. Under development, Fonatur is putting a marina in the ellipse. Water lines are run to the marina area for the individual slips planed. Completion date, “the rumor is” a year. |
