Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Nacho Average Dolphin

Yes, cruising gang from years past, Nacho the dolphin lives!
Jim saw him at the outer anchorage in Tenacatita!
For you that are not members of the cruising gang from years past, Nacho the dolphin is a big boy with a big notch out of his dorsal fin.
He use to torment Ray and Lucy's dog by swimming leisurely past "Pepina Rae" and staring up at the dog.
For. Hours.
Nine, ten and eleven years ago, we would see him with his little dolphin gang in Tenacatita, Melaque and Santiago Bay.

The new people call him Chip.
I corrected the new people.

So we are back in Tenacatita!Anchored in the inner bay.
If Google Earth was taking a picture right now, we would be one of the lower left boats at anchor.We are back to swimming, making water and doing laundry.
And then kayaking, swimming some more, visiting and watching boats come and and go out.

We had a little generator problem which Jim the amazing fix-it man fixed.
He also fixed the watermaker on "Grey Max".
He is quite popular with "Grey Max" and me now.
Not that he wasn't already popular...

We have been watching dolphins, including the fabulous Nacho, swim through the anchorage.
We have been watching loads of small rays jumping out of the water.
We have been watching fish jumping.
All from the cockpit or kayak!

One more Google shot of the jungle cruise ~ which we will probably do again.Because we can...
See the little river?

Ok, back to the cockpit to watch for Nacho, his pals and the rays!
