Zihuatanejo here we come!!

We decided to leave Bahia Tangolunda and head up to Zihuatanejo the next morning on 11/8 around 10am to head 343 miles that took about 72 hours.  We had another great motor north with the wind on our nose and some strong current against us.  We were running the motor between 1500 and 1600 rpms and were averaging only about 4.8 knots over the three days.  We did not catch any fish, and again not with lack of trying and besides talking to SV Mita Kuuluu on the VHS we did not see any other sailboats.  We did have the Mexico navy traveling with us for a while, and of course saw many shrimpers.  We had a full bright moon the whole trip, it was pretty amazing!

Had lots of dolphins traveling with us within the three days!
