If you have not been to Pinata or Cinco de Mayo before and would feel more comfortable caravanning, we will be posting some "Caravanning" meet-up times. We will use the Why Not Travel Store as a meet-up place. Dates and times will be posted below as they are established. Please note that there is a non-trivial amount of traffic crossing the border on any given day going to Puerto Penasco, even if you can't find a time suitable you aren't "traveling into the unknown".

At, Fleet 85, we believe in changing lives—one step at a time. That’s why Pinata Regatta is honored to support Limbs For Humanity, a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring mobility and dignity through access to high-quality prosthetic care.
Their Mission:
Limbs For Humanity provides life-changing prosthetic limbs to individuals who have lost limbs due to trauma, illness, or congenital conditions—especially those who otherwise couldn't afford or access them. Each donation helps someone walk again, return to work, care for their families, and live life to the fullest.
Your Impact:
When you donate, you're not just giving a limb—you're giving hope, freedom, and a chance at a more independent future. 100% of your contribution goes directly toward patient care, materials, and outreach programs. Limbs For Humanity is also proud to support the community of Rocky Point, Mexico, by providing life-changing prosthetic care to its residents—empowering individuals to regain mobility, independence, and hope.
Join us in making mobility possible.
