We left San Diego around Thanksgiving and sailed south. Arrived at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in Banderas Bay near Puerta Vallarta. We are pausing here and taking time to reconnect. Nice trip the last leg was 450 nm from Bahia Santa Maria on Baja and it went great. Thank you Steve for all the tips on Mexico. Annie is making great leaps in spanish and people have treated us very kindly. A highlight was the connection with other Wa and BC boats and the "umbrella dumpers net" we used on twice daily checkins on SSB.
