The one man band 😎
 One of the reasons we sailed over here to Isla Grande is because there weather coming. There was a big cyclone out in the Pacific and the waves are headed our way. Zihuatanejo does not handle a SW swell that well and that is what the waves are. We tucked back in behind Isla Grande so we are well protected. Of course it helps that this place is peaceful and beautiful.
