Punta de Mita to Ipala
Figured out the the top 2 battens on the mainsail hit the backstays when
it’s fully raised, So I guess we’ll sail all season with 1 reef in. Doh!

Ipala to Punta Perula, Bahia Chamela
Nice sailing nearly all the way down the coast. Just as we entered Chamela, hooked a fish and reeled in a HUGE Wahoo!! The Ugly strikes again 🙂

Chamela to Tenacatita
After a leisurely coffee & croissant, we weighed ⚓ and motored out of Chamela. Had a slight wind to sail for about 30 min, then the ocean flattened enough to motor @ nearly 7 kts. Saw a couple ORCAS just N of the Aquarium. I guess hunting baby humpbacks. No fish today. We still have about 10 filets of Wahoo in the freezer. About 18 boats here in T for Christmas. Bocce proceeds on the beach.

potatoes & Mimosas. Busy schedule!
Busy schedule!

Tenacatita to Marina Isla Navidad, Barra de Navidad
After a leisurely coffee & quick refreshing swim, we weighed ⚓ and motored out of
