Ship's Log:
Hi everyone.As you can see we are still here in Mexico. We did leave but decided on one more weather stop at Huatulco before crossing the gulf. Winds were forecast at 45kts with seas building to 20ī. Yesterday was spent at a fascinating beach 2 miles outside of Huatulco. A very steep beach with sand cliffs and large indentations where turtles have deposited large quantities of eggs.
We spent the day here before moving to our present anchorage off of this sleepy tourist town, Huatulco. The Port Captain here has graciously allowed us to stay and visit even though I had officially cleared out of the country in Puerto Angel. After many faxes and weather chats we have decided to leave at first light tomorrow and travel very close to the beach and beat the seas that would be found further out. Winds are forecast to come down by tomorrow afternoon. All are well and many were busy working on their secret Santa gifts. We have picked names and the goal is to hand make your gift.
