Hello from beautiful Zihuatanejo. We are here on anchor for a week or so. It is hot, 98 degrees today but a nice breeze keeps things bearable. We have made some great stops on this last leg of the journey, exploring some cool towns and remote villages. We sail as much as the wind allows, one day 68 miles averaging over 6 knots. We continue to see lots of wildlife, dolphins swimming along with boat, a few whales, lots of different birds, and several sea turtles leisurely floating on the sea surface.
Please enjoy the pictures. There are a lot of them so we may have to do several posts to get them all loaded.
The boat is working fine and we are great.We are almost out of Mexico. Our next major port is Acapulco.
While in Z-town we participated in Sailfest which
raises money for children in the nearby hills.

help of funds raised by Sailfest

Hi Paula and Ken,
Thanks for the update and all the fantastic photos. What an amazing trip you are having. I love seeing all the images, especially the ones that show a bit of the culture you are visiting. The school house shots are really something.
Keep the blogs coming whenever you can. I am always looking for where you have gone and where you are headed.
Love,
Tricia (et al.)
Paula & Ken,
How ironic that we've been following your trip for over a year and we live right down the road from Tolmie. We currently have a Hunter 30 and are considering retiring and purchasing a more seaworthy boat. We love seeing your photos and reading your updates. We are circumnavigating vicariously through you and we hope to do the same someday.
Best of luck to you both and keep those updates coming!
Sincerely,
Dick and Marlisa
