Today, I talked to the legend: Don Anderson! I tried to listen to him on Amgio net but it always sounded something like this.
...Hel-...Bod... ...Sea-...Cor-... Fine...Tehuantep-... ....Woo-hoo!...
Hopefully, you can see my confusion. It was the �Woo-Hoo!� that scared me the most. I garnered some courage and called Summer Passage on 12C at 10:30 yesterday. Don gave me some weather for the Tehuantepec and told me that buoyweather.com was pretty much correct.
It was comforting to get another data-point and I really appreciate Don�s willingness to help us weather-retarded cruisers.
We leave Hautulco at 6 pm tonight per our harbor master's, Enrique, instruction. We�ll miss the people at the dock in Hautulco. It was one of the nicest places we stayed in all of Mexico.
Stayed Tuned... This is going to be a windy and wild trip!
