5 days of grey


just before sunset


looking aft before sunset - glassy smooth water = no wind


shades of grey

just after sunset - the camera enhanced the color, it's still grey in all directions

The passage from Zihautanejo to Puerto Marques (4.5 miles south of Acapulco) took 3 very long days. Almost all sailing at a snail’s pace. We stopped in Marquez to refuel then head back a couple hours later. The rest of the trip, to Hautulco, was 2 days of windless grey. 20 miles off shore with overcast skies that melted into the water with no visible separation. Hot, long and boring. Not much else to say. We were even too hot and bored to eat, and you know how we travel on our stomachs.
