I just uploaded new photos to our photo gallery.
We're planning to leave the boat here in Barra for the summer hurricane season. We'll fly home in July and return in mid October, to continue our voyage south come November 1 when the hurricane season officially ends.
Meanwhile life aboard Calou here in Barra is very enjoyable, so we don't mind staying here for a while.

Along with some friends, we took a water taxi from the marina into Barra de Navidad, to hear some music at Piper's Cruiser Lounge, an open-air palapa bar on the beach in Barra. I don't know the name of the band, but the guitar player sounded like Jimi Hendrix, and looked like the Geico Cave Man.

We enjoyed delicious margaritas made with fresh blackberries at the "Paradise" restaurant in Las Hadas. The owner there raises his own blackberries. They also make a coconut shrimp that is out of this world.

We finally decided to spend the rest of the summer season in Mexico. We'll head to Panama after the hurricane season ends in November.
Not wanting to just sit around in the marina, we decided to sail south to Manzanillo. We had a beautiful sail with about 6 knots of breeze on a beam reach, we were able to do about 5 knots of boat speed.
In this photo Pascale and Antoine are enjoying being at sea again.
