Hi there buddy! This is just a short email to let you know we have safely arrived in Hualtuco after another crazy adventure with the engine quitting after we pulled the anchor in Puerto Escondido. It's a good thing we did have a swim in that incredibly blue, crystal clear water, 'cause the next two days were spent without our engine, totally relying upon the wind to take us farther south. We had good wind for most of the time pushing us slowly toward our next destination, but when we did not reach Puerto Angel by the end of the day, we heaved to until the wind completely died. The waves were huge and coming from all directions and finally, to save our sails, we dropped them and bobbed. You can imagine that night!
Yesterday dawn placed us south of Puerto Angel and 20 miles offshore, so we decided to sail to Huatulco instead. We arrived late afternoon and sailed into Bahia Santa Cruz where Mandy and Jade happened to be. Pedro from Jade met us with his dinghy for moral support, and we were able to successfully drop anchor. There are so many more details even about that experience, but it is time to go back out to Sidewinder and do more fuel-bleeding on the engine, and I imagine she will fire right up! David will write the details tomorrow, and by then I can give you more energetic thoughts. Virginia invited us over for dinner last night and it was soooo wonderful to be with them again. What good friends they are! Love you! The adventure continues!!!!! Suzi (and David)
