Our mooring ball in Acapulco - 2015
late January 2015 - Currently on a mooring ball in Acapulco, Mexico
After getting kicked out of our anchoring area in Acapulco we went over by the marinas and got a mooring ball. The lines on the mooring ball we huge. We figured we would not drag because the lines meant a bigger boat would use it :) The next morning at about 4:00 am when it was dead calm we heard a BAM,BAM etc on our hull. It sounded as though the mooring ball was coming right through! We decided to put out a stern anchor to hold us off the ball. The stern anchor ended up dragging because it got caught up in old fish net and other debris. BAM Bam again. So then we put our own smaller lines on the ball. This helped and helped keep the critters off the boat.

We have been trying a different app now for
our Samsung galaxy tab 3 tablet. It is called DragQueen. We downloaded it from Google Play.So far I am happy
with it.
You
can set\edit the GPS coordinates in in if you like and I like that feature.
It turns on or off and that seems to work :)
We emailed ActiveCaptain who wrote it and
Jeffery Siegel responded within a day so great support.
It is also FREE.

Sailing Acapulco to Zihuatanejo passage, oops no autopilot! - 2015
Acapulco to Zihuatanejo passage - end of January 2015
Because
going to the neat anchorage from Acapulco would be a problem for us timing wise
(arriving at night), we chose to go straight through to Zihuatanejo.
We
were about two hours out of Acapulco when we started having problems with our
Garmin autopilot - we were moto sailing because there was little wind.
