End of January 2015 - Anchored in Acapulco , Mexico
This is the coolest thing! Going to the movies and getting waited on for food, really comfortable love-seat recliners and a big screen!
We have already gone to the movies twice :) (We saw "Elsa and Fred" the first time - not great - then "Night at the Museum 3" - this was very entertaining!!)

Acapulco - Bottom cleaning - 2015
Middle of January 2015 - Anchored in Acapulco , Mexico
We cleaned the bottom before we left Zihuatanejo with Debbie doing the water line and I dove the bottom. Here in Acapulco I cleaned the water line and below as far as I could reach. This gave me something to do as I swam around for exercise and the bottom can use it.

Sailing from Papanoa to Acapulco passage - 2015
Middle of January 2015 - Anchored in Acapulco, Mexico
We went from Zihua to Papanoa (aka Puerto Vicente Guerrero) and had a lovely two day rest. It was a quiet fishing village with a
breakwater protected anchorage. Not a
lot of room for too many boats but plenty for us (and another boat came and went
while we were there). Then we left at
2am - luckily still had the moon so the early morning hours were vivid with
stars and a calm sea.
When are boat rollers not boat rollers, beach pangas - 2015
January 12, 2015 - Anchored in Acapulco, Mexico
When we were having breakfast at 100% Natural Cafe, we noticed some fishermen on the beach - using wooden rollers to launch their panga into the surf. Further on, we saw those same type of rollers stuck in the sand as goal posts for the soccer game they were playing. It was quite amusing!!

Anchoring more over by the cement pier may save some rolling from the wave reflating into the bay.

Anchor watch app with Samsung Galaxy tablet - 2015
Beginning of January 2015 in Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Sitting here in anchored in Zihuatanejo we have been playing with the anchor watch app on our Samsung galaxy tablet. The one we have is free but comes with a price :) The price being some things do not work. Like the "Reset" button or if the alarm goes off the stop button does not stop the alarm which is bells sounding. So that makes you wonder if the rest is OK. Do we bet our boat on this app?
We have been looking for others and may even pony up some pesos for one if we decide we like it.

VacuFlush J- Series Vacuum Generator failed - 2015
Beginning of January 2015 Zihuatanejo, Mexico
What happened is the VacuFlush J-Series Vacuum Generator stopped making a vacuum. So no working toilet. Again we had to dig out the porta-potty! Next day we took apart the toilet and found nothing wrong. We cleaned the parts and then took off the hose to the J-Series Vacuum Generator. We did find some deposits of hard water we broke off and cleaned the hose and fitting to new condition.

End of December 2014 Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Our passage from Las Hadas/Manzanillo to Zihuatanejo

overnighters from now on. I do not do so good on the second night.
