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.

The Southern Crossing

       Sailing into Banderas Bay with a fresh breeze          The southern crossing is a crossing from Baja to mainland Mexico in the Pacific Ocean.  It is almost 300 nautical miles ( nm).  It took us 2 nights and 3 days, but it felt longer.  We had really good wind the whole time; and it was fun not to see land.  At first you can see land; then you can't really see land. Finally, you can't see land at all, then land comes back into sight.  I totally recommend crossing.  The water was the bluest blue I have ever seen.  Because it is the open ocean.  First sight of land Beautiful sunrises       We almost had to turn back. Now I don't really now why so ask my mom or dad.  But I think we had a leaking engine fitting.  They put a tin cup on a string under it to see how much was leaking.  I woke to dad calling some friends to tell them we may have to turn back.  Lucky for us we didn't  have to turn back.     To keep you sane on the crossing here are s
