14 09.835 N, 92 06.787 W
Winds 8-10 knts, Seas Swell 5-6 ft from 211 deg, no waves, Overcast skies
We are 'motor sailing' but really just motoring with the main up. The winds have been light and either from on the nose or just 30 degrees on starboard.
The seas have been relatively empty but for a shrimper and several panga fishermen, tending lines with the ubiquitous float, a stick and a black garbage bag as a flag. You have to watch carefully since they will disappear and reappear behind the swell.
Some dolphins jumped and joined us for a bit and we also saw some small rays jumping out of the water. Not sure why they jump. Maybe it is on a dare.
Our target destination is Bahia Santa Elena, about 460 nm from Marina Chiapis. We have left Mexico and are passing Guatemala.
No worries, so far.
