Zihautanejo is still the 2 dollar a day hammock between the palms on the beach place of yesteryear.We are anchored in a little cove surrounded on 3 sides by towering rock formations with the crashing Pacific as our surround sound.Meanwhile Inta has taken the dinghy to town for the finals of the male strippers contest…

Puerto Vallarta

Posted by Harry via email:
After previous attempts where we turned back due to treacherous sea conditions we finally made the 355 mile trip across open ocean….And we caught a Marlin at dawn yesterday. Arrive last nite and tied up to a slip in a Marina where for the first time in 2 weeks we can walk off the boat onto land.Hanging out here for a few days of R&R and repairs and then start fishing our way 500 miles down the coast to Acapulco.

Editors note: The internet connection on the boat has been intermittent since they left Cabo, so posts, emails, etc. may be delayed. -Gabe.
