Farewell to Acapulco

Sunday, March 9th

With fond regrets, we bid farewell to Acapulco this morning around 0730 and have had light winds so we are motoring. We are expecting a current so we are trying to first guess where it is, then avoid it. We'll see how we do.

It's a beautiful day and we were seen off by a small pod of dolphins. Shifts have been assigned and now that everything has been secured for the moment all hands are off in their lost corners of the boat. Throughout the day we have chased variable winds and had the jib out for a while, but still motoring. We have the lures out and managed to hook up to a small dorado but that poor little guy would have barely been a snack for Amit so we tossed him back so he can grow a bit more. We went through the most amazing frenzy of churning water for quite a while and were surprised we did not hook up again.

Sundown now and the skies grow darker by the minute. There is only a sliver of a moon and the night is cooling off. It's going to be a neat night to sit in the cockpit under the stars.
