Underway to Huatulco

27 April 2008 | Pacific Ocean, Mexican waters

Hey Everybody...We are still making our way to Huatulco which should be our final destination in Mexico. We all decided to do a 2 nighter, rather than leave at the butt crack of dawn and MAYBE arrive before dark after 1 overnighter with "no time to sail" . Or take our time and take advantage of the nice "land and sea breezes" where we can fly the spinnaker! The choice was actually pretty easy. Plus this will give alittle taste of multiple overnighters again. We've only done several "1 nighters" since the HaHa and our crossing the Gulf of Tehauntepec will be at least 2 if not 3 nights! Yesterday was once again a fabulous day sailing the spinnaker, this time for more than 7 hours, then with just our 2 sails up for another 2 hours. The sunset was again...spectacular, the night sky filled with a bizillion stars and

when the half-moon came up about 1am, it just lit up the waters. No marine life to spot until this morning. I guess the dolphins don't like to play at night, but at dawn and early morning they get pretty frisky with the boat. A few sea turtles round out the entertainment and we are off to another gorgeous day. We've been playing touch tag with Sans Cles for the past 24 hours and right now...they are ahead, but we are closing in fast. Well..the breeze has picked up enough to get the Blue & Yellow colors flying, so time to go to work....With Pepparkaka (Swedish coffeebread) in the oven and Swedish colors flying high...Ain't life grand!
