Ship's Log:
Left Huatulco today at 0630hrs and headed NE along the edge of the Gulf of T. Very beautiful coastline in this area of Mexico. Huge dunes, hundreds of feet high were tempting us all day to stop and explore. We found some wind finally near Salina Cruz. A 20knt beam wind that gave us a fantastic 11kts with main, fore, jumbo and jib. Unfortunately it just came to an end and as you can see we have only 5kts at present. Great day of sailing ,sighted many sea turtles and a lovely pod of baby dolphins spent some time alongside, jumping and showing off their newly learned tricks. We have our weather window and are making good use of it.
There is another blow expected in two days but we should be out of here by then. Love from all onboard to all of you back home.
