We had the pleasure of having one of my best and oldest (not in age) friends on board Kasasa for 2 weeks in January. Maureen and I have been best friends since the age of 15 and together have spent many great times. Well Mo finally made it out to Mexico and had a great visit with us. She is very attuned to nature and loves being on the water. Having had previous experience on sailboats, she made for a great crewmate and we really enjoyed her company.
We started off in Tenacatita and La Manzanilla for about 4 days for her to relax and get into the cruising mode and what better place than Tenacatita to make you feel like your cruising. I'm not going to go into great detail here where we went and what we did because I am hoping that Maureen will find some time to blog about her experience and I will post it. I just really wanted to acknowledge that she came and that it was a very special time for us to spend together. Thank you Mo.
After we said our goodbyes in Santiago, Ian and I set off for Zihautanejo as our next set of guests Lynne and Harvey will be arriving here in less than a week. We had an uneventful trip down the coast to here and are now enjoying Sailfest which is an annual event involving the gringo community, the cruising community and the local community to raise funds for the local schools. It just started yesterday and so far has been fun. I will write more about it once its over but for now that is where we are and what we are up to. We will be here until the beginning of March.
