Heading home: Zihuatanejo to La Paz
The Zihua sailfest was a wonderful experience, but real life is calling (read: we're suffering a severe peso deficit) and the festival is our turn-around point.
We are spending February clawing our way back north, and in just one month we will travel all the way back up to La Paz while hosting three different people on Wanderlust! Will's parents and Sara's friend Mari will be joining us.
- Zihuatanejo to Bahia Tenacatita with stops at Manzanillo and Barra de Navidad, overnight trip with Ann and John, exploring the jungle, and enjoying another mayor's raftup
- Bahia Tenacatita to Puerto Vallarta with stops at Bahia Careyes and Bahia Chamela, John's kidney infection, another much harder overnight trip; John and Ann depart, Mari arrives
- Punta Vallarta to San Blas to Isla Isabela, perfect sailing weather with hundreds of turtles and dolphins, another birthday celebration, exploring San Blas and beautiful Isabela with Mari
- Isla Isabela to Mazatlan, one final birthday party for Will, quality time in Mazatlan, Mari departs
- Double-overnight passage crossing the Sea of Cortez from Mazatlan to La Paz, caught in a storm, monster wind and waves, wanderlust hits 9 knots with a reefed main and jib; recovering in La Paz
