We have arrived at Mazatlan, our home port in Mexico. We went first from La Cruz to Mantachen, a distance of 63 miles and 10 hours. For the 6 hours we had huge seas of 12-14 feet about 10 knots of wind. We were bouncing all over. Remember we are now hand steering due to no auto pilot, great on building arm muscles. The second day we made a run to Mazatlan, 134 miles and 21 hours. The seas were calmer this day. We were fortunate to be following Serena Ray during the night. They were our north star to follow.
Wally has many projects to complete while in Mazatlan. All of our new parts, auto pilot, shower sump and water pump, have arrived from the States via Ed and Annette of WindSong. While Wally will be working I am flying home to the States to visit my family. I have the better deal.
I have continued to improve seasickness. First use the electrical impulse ReliefBand, swallow Sturgeon ( a medication not approved in the US), suck on Ginger Altoids and anti acid tablets. When all of that fails, pray that it will be over soon.
We had the pleasure to celebrate Ed and Annette's, Wind Song, wedding. We had a celebration, and affirmation of wedding cruising vows on Serena Ray. All of us were participants in the celebration. We had Ed and Annette as Bride and Groom, Wally as the Reverend, Linda - Wedding Planner, John - the Chef, Rosie -Assistant Chef, Teresa -Assistant Wedding Planner, Steve - photographer.
