In Spanish, Puerto Vallarta is often shortened to Vallarta, while English speakers call the city P.V. for short. In internet shorthand the city is often referred to as PVR, after the International Air Transport Association airport code for its Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport.

Good nav lights are literally a life saver, I have really good led ones that are visible form 3 nautical miles on mine since I night fish almost exclusivly. Have almost hit several people who didn't have lights on at night.
Notes. 1  Boats under power under 40' can substitute a single all-round light for separate stern and masthead lights. 2  Boats under 65'7 can substitute a single bi-color light for sidelights. 3  Sail boats under sail under 65'7 can substitute a tri-color light for separate sidelights and stern light.  See our Anchor Ball.
