Puerto Vallarta to Zihuatanejo on our honeymoon

After a fantastic vacation in Puerto Vallarta - can you take a vacation from a vacation? - we moved back onto the boat, gave her a thorough scrubbing, re-provisioned, and set sail for Zihuatenejo and the sailing festival at the end of January.

This section of the Mexican mainland is called the "Gold Coast", and is renown as the some of the best cruising grounds of the entire eastern Pacific.
