We are in Puerto Angel about 20 miles north of Huatulco, Mexico. We crossed the Gulf of Tuanapec when the wind was not blowing, sailing 80 nm in a 260 mile voyage. If you look at a map the narrowest point on Central America is here so if there is a nasty weather system in the Gulf of Mexico on the Atlantic side it blows a houlie across the peninsula and you have a Tuanapecker, a gale with nasty seas. The forecast was very benign so we motored straight across the Gulf, which is a no no, and made it with no problems.
We are going to have a rest today and for the first time since we got here we felt like tourists. We went and had lunch, with a cerveasa and a margarita to accompany lunch we looked out at the boat and just relaxed.
This is Barry’a choice for lunch, sopa Moriscos, seafood soup!
I bought a new bathing suit, the first new one since 2011 as did Barry, after much nagging from me. A dress also caught my eye and for $12 it was a bargain. After a rest we went for an hour snorkel, we finally had a day like you all think we do.
I am going for a dive tomorrow and then we may hop north to Zihuatanejo the next day. It is over 300 nautical miles north.
