Ship's Log:
Our stay in Acapuco was wonderful in every way. We had the luxury of docking at the private Club de Yate which is very quiet and safe. Everyone there was very helpful and they all enjoyed having the Grace visit. We were the only wooden vessel in the club and by far the largest. We made many friends during our stay. As well as using all the facilities at the club, many trips were made into town, to the famous cliff divers and to the local surfing beach.
Before leaving today we did a drive by of Sylvester Stalones private residence with the Grace and had a quick snorkel visit to the nine foot submerged statue of the īVirgin of Guadalupeī who resides at the entrance to the harbour in about 15ī of water.
Leaving Acapulco at 0700 we have shaped a course southward to the small harbour of Puerto Angel. Arrival should be tomorrow around 1300hrs. This is possibly our last stop in Mexico before jumping off to Costa Rica.
