Bye Ketching Up!!! We´ll Miss You....

This morning we had to say good-bye and fair winds to our cruising buddies on Ketching Up! They left this morning for Acapulco and points south. We wish them a very uneventfull trip and will really miss them!!! As for us, we´re leaving Zihaut on Saturday morning and working our way back up to reach Manzanillo on Monday...

Joel - we checked, sorry no 17 year old flip flops at the basketball court!!

We LOVE this place...

Zihaut has turned out to be everything we had heard about and more! If anyone ever gets a chance to come down this way - do it!! We took a dinghy ride over to a nice beach the other day, called Los Gatos... Great water for the kids to swim and play in, and palapas for us to hang out in... The shopping here is also wonderful - I´m filling the bathtub up with all kinds of goodies to bring home!!! We plan to leave here sometime this weekend and take three days to get back to Manzanillo (stopping for the nights a few different places). We´ll re-provision there and then head up to Tenacatita for some more surfing for the boys....

Oasis is in Zihaut

We arrived in Zihaut this past Wednesday afternoon. We left Las Hadas, Manzanillo on Tuesday morning (anchor up at 7:15 am) and arrived here 31 hours later... not bad for a 184 mile passage. The trip was very uneventfull, except for the boobie bird that decided to tag along with us. He first landed on Ketching Up, then when he tired of them, he came to hang with us for a while. When we get better intenet connections, I´ll post a picture or two of him! We´ll be here for about a week prior to turning around and heading North.

Our current position is: 17 degrees, 37.44 N; 101 degrees 35.07W
