20.8N 105.6W. La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit, Mexico.
It is Super Bowl Sunday and we are still in Bahia de Banderas. Hard to believe as we were getting ready to head south just over a week ago but…the water warmed up and a new swell arrived…so here we are. Steve surfed for four days straight. The Humpback whales have finally arrived with the warmer water – very late this season. We enjoyed a wonderful sighting two days while under sail to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle – where a cow and very little calf swam very slowly only forty feet off our starboard side. The calf appeared to be keeping full contact against the cow and when they surfaced for air…it almost looked as if the cow was very gently lifting the little guy up to show him how it was done. Probably not what was really happening…but that is how it looked us as we watched entranced by this elegant and quite touching duo.

Waves, wind, water, whales....the life.
We are here in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in order to tie up to the new marina here to get some work done on the boat. She really needs a good fresh water cleaning after all the wind born construction dust she has been subjected to both here and in Cabo San Lucas. We also need to do some troubleshooting on our battery bank and refrigeration systems (though it looks like Steve may have fixed the refrigeration this morning while at anchor here).
Anyway, we are looking forward to watching the Super Bowl at Ana Banana’s and getting to work first thing Monday when we arrive at the marina.
Go NY Giants!
