What I love about Mexico

-
Marina Real

 I love tacos and Takis (spicy rolled up chips). People are always smiling and happy; they seem fearless and kind here in Mexico. Peoples attitudes are different. 
There are very beautiful sunsets. I like swimming in the ocean and the pool, I really love snorkeling. I can't wait to see dolphins and whale sharks. I loved Mexican Halloween because you get a hand full of candy from each person. I can't wait for Dia de los Muertos, it's today! 
Last but not lest, I love the Spanish Language!

No filter, just pure beauty!

    Hello Ellie! This is Helen, Mark and Tara! Wow! We love your blog! You write very well! Helen says she Loves you! She asks" What do you see when you snorkel? " And also commented "I like the beautiful pictures you take - especially the mountains and colors!" No snow here yet. Warm and blusery so far... Fair winds and following seas! Love to the whole family!

      Hi Helen and all. The other day we went snorkeling it was so much fun, we saw a lot of colorful fish. We are working on identifying them all so I will keep you posted as I learn more. I saw a lot of different rocks and vegetation, I can not tell you how many shells we see on our walks and swimming. The one bummer is my dads mask broke, lucky we have extras on board.
      We will be heading across the Sea of Cortez next week so I will take plenty of pictures to share with you!

What the heck is S/V Milou?

Me driving Milou Milou is french for the name of the dog "Snowy", in the comic books Tin Tin. But Milou in this case is a 1983 Beneteau First 38, a 40 foot sailboat. We spent three nights in Mexico looking at Milou and a nice day of sailing her. It was very fun when we sailed her and I really liked driving the boat. On the third night my parents came back from a drink with the owners of Milou, and told me they had bought the sailboat. I cried so hard and yelled "take it back, take it back, take it back". I felt a mixture of feelings, BUT not excitement. I was afraid of leaving home and of the unknown.

Catching Fish

The first day we were sailing we caught,... well I don't know. This is how the story goes. We were just sailing along with our fishing line out, when all of a sudden we got a bite. Then fast as a bullet Dad jumped and started reeling it in. He yelled at Mom," Put it on auto pilot, I need help". Then he yelled, " Grab my phone". Well, of course I grabbed the phone. "Go get the two fish books", he yelled. I did just that, though I got a little seasick going down below. This had been the most exciting part of my day so far, except seeing hundreds of dolphins. We pulled it into the boat, and he said," Don't step down it has needle sharp teeth". I looked in the first fish book and it had a colored picture of a Sierra, and that's what it was. I looked in the second book and got some facts and I had picked the exact lure they had suggested to use for catching Sierra. That night we went over to our friends boat in the anchorage; an
