The Adventure Continues in Huatulco
Pretty exhausted from the bus ride we decided to spend the day on Frannie B and picked out a nice anchorage in which to swim and snorkel. Cacaluta was close by and quite nice. The water was somewhat clear and still a toasty 82 degrees F. We washed FBs bttom, fixed the freshwater pump and didn’t get too sunburned. The next few days involved surfing, scuba diving, and finally the raft trip down the Copalita River. We experienced lots of thrills and spills on this day long adventure with plenty of class three and four rapids. I was the only long swimmer, but fortunately Keri and Will pulled me back into the boat. Stephan, our guide, made sure we had plenty of excitement. For New Year’s Eve, we needed a day of reprovisioning , rest and Homeland (TV series). Had a great dinner at Café Juanita, too much food again and made it to midnight for some lovely fireworks (fuegos artificiales). The weather window across the famed and sometimes treacherous Tehuantepec looked to be short so we opted to check out and be on the road on New Year’s Day. Keri, Will and Spencer flew home with good memories and probably in need of a vacation.
