Far enough south to be warm again...

Masquerade is now anchored in Bahia Chamela, we arrived late last night after sailing almost 300 miles from Mazatlan(took us about 60 hours). We made all but the last 30 miles under sail, before the wind died and we needed to turn on the motor. Good sailing but the seas were a bit lumpy. We skipped Puerto Vallarta so and headed further south so that the air and water temps would be warmer. It was getting pretty chilly in Mazatalan! Here the water is back up to 75 and the air temperature around 80,
very pleasant. It looks a lot different here as we are now in the tropics, much more plant life ashore, lots of palm trees and much greener than what we were seeing further north. We can't wait to go ashore and explore a little. It is good to be out of the marina and back on the hook.
