What a short hop to the Marina Chahue in Huatulco where we will spend our last few days in Mexico. We haven't been in a marina since early March, so Triple Stars and our dinghy needed a good bath! We are slowly trying to adapt to the 90 degree heat with 75% humidity, but really look forward to doing some grocery shopping in the air conditioned store! A very nice marina, walking distance (except for in the heat of the day) to a cantina with 2 pools, internet and a great ocean view, a cute little town square where unlike most other Mexican villages, this one has only been built (church & all) since 1985! With 2 cruise ships a week (at least) and a good port of entry for small yachts coming from the south and a perfect little jumping off port for heading across the Gulf Tehuntepec, leaving Mexico, like we are doing! There are 6 boats all crossing together and it looks like our weather window will be GREAT...and are scheduled to leave Wednesday morning... We have all checked out of Mexico, a process that took only 90 minutes in the morning doing paper work, getting a cool "International Zarpe certificate" and a 10 minute visit from Immigration at the boat. We FINALLY have a stamp in our passports! We actually have spent all 180 days of our tourist visa and fondly say Adios to Mexico. We have had a great time, some beautiful scenery, delicious food (even tried lime/chili flavored grasshopper)and have met many wonderful people... But it is time to move on... On to El Salvator
