Bahias de Huatulco


The following message is from crewmember Shannon:

Hello, we are doing great, just outside of Huatulco, Mexico.   There are some nice private beaches, snorkeling, and tons of hermit crabs.

We had a bunch of birthdays and to celebrate we've been eating cake all week.

We also had a couple of huge jellyfish blooms with baby jellyfish so thick in the water that you couldn't see through it.  Also there are tons of baby puffer fish.  We caught one for Vitality's birthday for her to play with and she thought that was great!  Shortly after that the jellys bloomed and we took some time out of the water.  It’s getting warm here, but still enough of a breeze to cool off.  The water is inviting, refreshing, and welcome when it's not stinging.  The baby jellys just seem to give a sensation of a tingle, but with so many of them it's not great so we get out. 

We will probably check into the marina tomorrow for a day or two.  We are waiting out a Tauanepec storm (strong winds across our next bay crossing).  We’ll be leaving Mexico either from here or may stop on the other side of the bay at Chiapas for fuel, food and mosquito netting before leaving, probably for El Salvador.
