Zihuatanejo!!!

No, we did not try this...the bay looks a little to crowded if you fall

Jerry and Skeeter locking up the dinghy after a day at the beach

Breakfast with Janet and Dave from SV Cuervo

I did not try the email, you think it would have been faster than Telcel?

Jan, Dave, Jerry, Shilo (bar owner), bartender ( don't remember his name), and Marty and Debbie that we met in town who have been coming to Zihuatanejo for 4 years and know all the fun spots like here at Barracruda ( Hangover bar)!!

Zorro's Bar...Jerry, Dave and I had a few of these frigin cold beers one afternoon cause it was frigin hot here!!!  Fun times

The streets of Zihuatanejo are so clean and all the block have the same look to them, the town has been working hard for the past 4 or so years to improve the look and it has paid off.  There were many streets that cars were not allowed to go through, very pedestrian friendly.  We loved all the shops, restaurants and bars!
Our second to last night we had a new neighbor

There were guys out everyday all day fishing right next to us

Sergio from one of the best little palapa restaurants on the beach....he also make little fishing fly luers, we will see if we catch anything when we leave
There were tons of dogs all the time on the beach, most were friendly, but some were not so much...this one was so stinking cute...she loved skeeter.
We have really loved Zihuatanejo the last 4 days, but our time to keep heading southeast has come.  We are pulling up anchor around 1pm today (Thursday) and heading on our first long trip in a while 350 miles and about 70 hours to Huatulco this is averaging 5 knots, now that we have our bottom cleaned we should be able to go about 5.5 knots, but it will still be a long trip.  We got all our provisions, the dinghy up, fuel, and plenty of cold beer and are ready to go.  Unfortunately we will not be buddy boating with anyone, but it should be a good trip, as long as the weather stays this way.  Hopefully we will catch some fish.  We had dinner with Kirk from SV Freedom Kirkland who caught a pretty good size dorado on his way down here form Manzanillo, so now it is our turn. 

Happy Sun, Sails and Coconuts
