Zihuatanejo is a good place to be.

Willow and Tara have made it safely to Zihuatanejo, although it was a slow trip. The winds in this part of Mexico are very light this time of the year. Sometimes they are fair for us, some times not, but we did make the best of every breath of it. Tara was boarded by the Mexican Navy, we were checked out by them 3 different times by boat and once by a helicopter. The helicopter got so close to us we thought down draft from its rotors would knock us on our side. But it did not, they stayed just far enough away. For whatever reason they had, we did not get boarded. Ben and Nikki said it was no big deal really. All of them seemed to be teen agers, including the captain, who was in braces and pimples.

Oh well, we made it through all that and continued at our stately pace of about 3 knots, southbound. Eventually we made it to our present location of 17*38' N, 101*33" W. Check it out on google earth. Luckily we are picking up a wireless signal out here which allows me to do this in the comfort of our home, Willow.
