I'm really enjoying these posts. It reminds me of the trip we did a year ago. I wish I had kept a written log to share. He is getting close to the point where we joined in Acapulco. I look forward to his trip across the Tehuantepec Gulf in order to compare my recollections. Actually we had it easy. The crossing did not live up to the notorious "Tehuantepecker" reputation. The excitement of reaching a waypoint after 26 hours at 115 degrees and changing course by only 8 degrees. How true. The night watches were intriguing. Blips on the radar that never came to fruition. Things that passed by that never showed up on radar. Muffled flashes of light from a silent ponga a half mile towards shore. Crossing the Mexico and Guatemala border in the middle of the night. Both countries with beacons so strong that they lit up the cabin 5 miles off shore. -- Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JimAgue For images of Acapulco to Golfito Passage made in March 1999, refer to: http://members.iex.net/~ague/images/NordhavnCruise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
