Finally out of the slip
26 November 2010 | Stone Island
Mike & Julie
Just like it says "finally out of the slip" We left yesterday (Thursday) about 9:00 am for the long journey, well 11 miles to Stone Island. Stone is located just south of the breakwater that forms the old harbor of Mazatlan. The trip was shaping up to be a boring two hours when we sailed into a huge pod of dolphins. When I say huge I mean HUGE. Best guess, 500. No kidding. We got the anchor down about 11:30 and launched the dingy for a trip to the beach. After a long walk on the beach followed by a couple of beers at one of the palapa restaurants we headed back to the boat for a wonderful sunset and Thanksgiving steak, baked potatoes and salad. We really do have a lot to be thankful for. The plan is to head out tomorrow morning (Saturday) for Barra de Navidad which is just north of Manzanillo.
