| 14º 41.898' N | 92º 23.478' W | Nirvana | Greetings from Nirvana! We docked this morning in Marina Chiapas, in Puerto Chiapas, the southernmost harbor on Mexico's west coast, after crossing the Golfo de Tehuantepec, potentially one of the stormiest areas in Mexico's Pacific waters. We had a great, smooth and easy crossing after leaving Huatulco about 5pm on the 1st of April. We'll be here several days to check out of Mexico (after the Easter weekend holiday) to sail on south to Bahia del Sol in El Salvador. Hasta luego from Bob & Sherry S/V Nirvana | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 17º 9.69' N | 100º 52.11' W | Nirvana | Greetings from NIrvana, underway from Huatulco to Puerto Madera (Chiapas), Mexico. We have crossed about 1/2 way across the Golfo de Tehuantepec since yesterday afternoon. Sunny clear day, little wind, no seas, easy night last night with nearly full moon. Should arrive Chiapas about noon on Friday 4/3. Our 1430Z (0830am local time) position was 15 degrees 52.9 minutes North by 94 degrees 29.1 minutes west.

| 15º 45.81' N | 96º 7.302' W | Nirvana | Hi All, Tied up at Marina Chahue in Huatulco this morning at 8:30 local time. Great passage from Acapulco to Huatulco. Big swells, occasionally good sailing winds, motoring mostly. Lots of frolicking dolphins, hundreds of giant sea turtles, and one hitchhiker frigate bird that sat atop our mast for seven hours, decorating the boat with its droppings...one day after we washed Nirvana and was she was sparkling! Oh well. Here for a few days before sailing on to El Salvador, either or not with an enroute stop in Chiapas, the last stop in Mexico. Hasta luego, Bob & Sherry | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 17º 9.69' N | 100º 52.11' W | Nirvana | Buenos dias, A great night, albeit with little to no wind, and relatively smooth seas. We're at 16 degrees 6 minutes north, by 98 degrees 27 minutes west. We should make Huatulco early tomorrow morning unless the wind picks up and we are able to sail, probably more slowly than if motoring. For Marnee, a meatloaf dinner evening after really tasty fish and shrimp tostados in a little palapa on the beach in Bahia de Marques yesterday afternoon before weighing anchor. All is good aboard Nirvana. Hasta luego, Bob & Sherry (in loose accompaniment with Alcyone, Permanently Temporary and Heavy Metal) | about 9 years ago | Show |

Great sail down today. Caught a bunch of fish at sunup, but regrettably they were all bonita, so back to the pond they all went! Acapulco is HUGE, best we can tell. Vincente, our newest best amigo is coming at 5pm to pick in his ski boat with banana floatey to do a harbor tour for the crews of Nirvana, Moontide and Alcyone. Hasta luego from your sailing troubadors, Bob & Sherry abordo Nirvana | about 9 years ago | Show |

| 17º 37.98' N | 101º 33.6' W | Nirvana | After spending 2-1/2 glorious days anchored in beautiful Isla Grande, we made a grueling passage - actually not...we could have towed a water skier behind Nirvana on silky seas - we are now anchored in Bahia de Zihuatenejo. It is about 89 degree F here this afternoon in 80 degree F water, clear skies and just enough of a breeze to take alleviate the intensity of the sun. We'll be here for about a week after which we'll return to Isla Grande to enjoy the beaches, the snorkeling and a spectacular anchorage before departing southbound for Acapulco. Hasta luego from Bob & Sherry aboard S/V Nirvana | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 17º 40.8' N | 101º 39.0' W | Nirvana | We're anchored tonight in Isla Grande, about 8 miles from Zihuatenejo. We left Bahia Santiago yesterday morning at 8am, and during our 175 mile passage had winds up to 25 knots, lumpy seas, a gorgeous full moon night with stunning formations, passed through a cold front, dolphins doing Sea World tricks along side the cockpit in the middle of the night, and several great meals from the galley! Its a beautiful sunny afternoon here in Ixtapa/Zihuatenejo. We're tidying up Nirvana which is encrusted everywhere with salt crystals from sea spray and hitting the sack to catch up on lost sleep. All is GREAT! Hasta luego, Bob & Sherry | about 9 years ago | Show |
| 19º 6.0' N | 104º 22.8' W | Nirvana | We're anchored in Bahia Santiago, just a couple miles from Manzanillo, the major western shipping port in Mexico.

Cheers, Bob & Sherry | about 9 years ago | Show |
