how cool is this?

The view from the anchorage at Las Hadas was pretty amazing today. A couple of whales put on quite a show and I was able to snap this photo so thought I would share.

another day in paradise

We are sitting at anchor right now outside of Las Hadas resort in Manzanillo. We left Barra de Navidad on the 9th of January and after spending a little time in Santiago Bay we headed further south to Las Hadas which is where we plan to stay for the next few weeks. The anchorage here is nice and it is great to be able to use the wonderful facilities and dinghy dock for a small charge.
Amanda left us on the 12th to fly back to San Diego and we miss her a bunch already but have already made plans for her to fly to La Paz during spring break in March so we can't be too sad.
As it stands now our plans are to spend the next 4 weeks or so cruising the many beautiful anchorages located in the 100 mile stretch of mainland Mexico referred to as the Mexican Gold Coast. We then plan to head back north by the beginning of March to be in position to cross the Sea of Cortez. After that we will spend the entire spring up until June exploring the Sea of Cortez which is something we are very excited about.
