It's sure good to be back on the water again, away from the crowds and traffic and noise and dirt and hurry-scurry. Out here, it's so quiet and peaceful, and the air smells so good. Not much wind, though. Had to use the engine even when the sails were up.
We're making terrific time. Tomorrow we reach the notorious Gulf of Tehuantepec. There are usually gales blowing there, so we might have to hole up in Hualtuco for a few days.
This is all new territory for us. We've never been south of Acapulco before.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
