We got wind we were waiting for to sail down the coast. Our heading was South 193 degrees and the winds were 15kts from the East 92 degrees. Going against a 2kt current Tradewinds spread her wings, healed to starboard and with smiles on our faces we SAILED to Puerto Moreles. With the engine just above idle we took our time, this leg took 6 hours. Once inside the barrier reef we dropped the big-ass anchor, the setteled in.
We dingyed into town which is about 200 yards accross the bay, found a great little cafe' where we dined on tamales and Sol beer for $9.
