Our final Mexican destination

06 May 2008 | Huatulco

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

What a journey we have had! We arrived in Port Clyde, Maine in June 2009. A rainy, chilly summer on Hupper Island but thrilled to have completed our journey. We began building the addition onto our summer home which was finished in September 2010. Rennovation of the original house is in the [...]
