SUNNY SATURDAY AT ANCHOR

We are actually at the north end of the bay and at the upper end is La Manzanilla and around the corner is Barra de Navidad --a mere 6 miles away. We took a cab with 8 other folks yesterday and spent a good part of the day at the market.  Great fun!  Took a panga back by water. We are nearing our rendevouz with Roz...she departs Victoria on the 25th. Safe travel dear friend--sure hope Angie is coming along as well!!!!! Last night was our first Raft Up party and what a hoot that was.  Good friends, good food and good music. Gotta love it!  Picture the right.

Top of the morning to ya'all!    Got some cinnamon buns in the oven, fresh coffee on the brew and we are off to yet another Bahia around the corner.  Not sure how the internet will be so just giving you a heads up that we are nearing Barra de Navidad, which is just south of  Manzanillo.  Hope to meet our dear and good friend Roz and her friend Angie there around the 28th............keep checking for some interesting sights and sounds as I am sure we will tour around. Adios, until then.

TIME TO CHECK THE CAPTAINS PAGE

After spending the day anchored in beautiful and peaceful Bai Chamala we will have an early supper of Mexican shredded beef with a touch of onions and green native peppers over a bed of rice of course.........with a side of mixed salade.  Hmmm can hardly wait!   I found a Mexican beer sin(without) alcohol so I am off to have that with a twist of lime.  Do check out the Captains Page and the Flicks and Pages and Galley Tabs have new entries as well. Tomorrow see pictures of this incredible beach.  Good Nite.   Lue

THE CAPTAIN CAUGHT A BEAUTIFUL YELLOW TAIL TUNA !!!!

Weighed anchor yesterday morning, January 6th and that would be a Thursday --left  Chacala around 7 oclock and made our way towards Bahia Banderas (Bay of Flags) , the largest bay on the west coast of Mexico which has  about a  20 mile opening. Unfortunately, we had no wind so we motored all the way, which give us the opportunity to make water and top our tank up.  Again, it was a blessing at the end of the day to have a nice hot shower.  

SAILING INTO AN NEW YEAR!

Weighed anchor at 4:30 and are underway towards Isla Isabella, 85 miles South east from here. Our location at present is:     23 degrees 7 minutes degrees North          106 degrees 23 minutes West The weather is very calm.  Small swell and calm with little wind.  We look forward to the sunrise and glorious day ahead of us.  Hopefully the wind will pickup so we can sail.  Right now we are motoring  at 5 knots and making water.  All is well..............I am drinking Ginger tea and the Captain is on his second coffee. Check us out on the map and have a little navigation study -with your kids or spouse!! Prayers are always welcome and much appreciate.     Próspero Felize y un ~ o Nuevo Ano!!!!! The Captain and First Mate............back at Sea
