On to Zihuatanejo

We were sad to say goodbye to Richard and Elizabeth when they left on 1/12. But, we remember her delicious meals, several cocktail hours, and great talks. We think of them each morning when we use the espresso maker Elizabeth gave us. She could not believe we were drinking instant coffee and we're glad we aren't anymore! We hope to catch up with them or vice versa one of these days. I did manage to console myself with a day-trip to Guadalajara which was fantastic. We welcomed back Ken, our previous shipmate, on 1/17.

Ralph's birthday on the 18th was celebrated with street tacos and a provisioning trip as we prepared for our departure to Zihuatanejo. We departed a day late due to fueling issues in Las Hadas, but Adirondack helped us out with that and was also our buddy boat down the Michoacan coast. We have been in Zihua since 1/23 and are looking forward to the arrival of Ken's wife, Rita, for a visit on 2/1, and the start of Sailfest. Sailfest is an annual gathering of cruisers, where funds are raised at various activities to donate to local schools.

Sunsets are always wonderful on the ocean.
