but it is a much shorter journey on this go round. Only 3 days from Huatulco to Zihuatanejo so a hop, skip and jump. Today is Tuesday and we plan to depart on Thursday. We are soooo glad we got thru Nicaragua and the Tehuantepec when we did. We would still be waiting for a window. Today the Tehuantepec was blowing with hurricane force winds and seas to 27 feet. Yikes! Wonder how sailors dealt with places like the Tehuantepec before the wonders of weather faxes onboard. Don't think I would have been a candidate for this lifestyle in the "good old" days.
So Rich pulled us into the slip at Marina Chahu� in perfect form, first time in a marina in 11 months! I performed an extended water ceremony and played in the over spray. We are checked into Mexico and have the Mexican flag flying again. Doing tasks and getting around the area we time for morning and late afternoon because it is HOT here. Still getting used to warm weather again. Oh, Rich fixed the outboard and has been doing boat tasks like crazy. New engine oil, replaced fuel filters, adjusted rigging.... I did two provisioning runs today so we are almost set. So looking forward to seeing Peach and Dmitry in Zihuatanejo. They arrive Dec 23 so we'll be there a week to 10 days before - perfect timing!
Do have another batch of photos to go up and a blog to write about passages. I snapped some fantastic shots of sunsets and clouds that I'd like to share. The internet connections here in Huatulco are soooo slowww I'll wait for the zippy nets in Zihua. Take care all and write when you can.
Love to all from the yin side
