Failte Mexico

Beginnings

15 May 2011 | Mazatlan
After two months of hard work attending to a few small problems and battling with the slow systems of delivery in Mexico we finally sailed away into The Sea, as it is called in these parts. It is a two day sail atleast to the Baja even fair winds. We had our share of all conditions ending in the seeking of refuge in the Bay of the Dead, Ensenada de Los Muertos. This is an exposed anchorage but safe in NW winds. A great place and unexpected when looking at the chart.
We found our Norseman a great sailer and a real pleasure to handle. Performance close hauled is phenomenal being close to 30 degrees to the wind. More later
