On our way to Zijuatanejo

We had a wonderful time in Tenacatita and Barra de Navidad over the last few weeks. My mom and her friend Irene came to visit for a week, but it seemed to go by in only a few days. It was a difficult last few days because we had a bunch of goodbyes hanging over us. My mom and Irene were first off, then more heart wrenching goodbyes to our dear friends on Loon and Icarian. They're both spending another year exploring the Sea of Cortez, and it will probably be a few years before we see them again once we're all back home. Many tears were shed and thoughtful gifts exchanged in the last few days together, but yesterday we finally had to haul anchor and get moving. Thankfully it's been a peaceful sail over the last 24 hours and we're making good time in the right direction! If the wind cooperates, we may be able to stop briefly at a small bay near Coleta de Campos, about 50 miles north of Ixtapa. We'll only have enough time for a quick run on the beach, dinner and a few hours sleep before we have to continue on to make it to Ixtapa Tuesday AM. We're looking forward to Kellie's folks arriving on Thursday!
