HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Today is Saturday January 3, 2009
Wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We are now on our way north- left Isla Grande near Zihuatanejo on Jan 1 and arrived in Las Hadas on Jan 2. We have been enjoying our cruising season this year and have met so many wonderful people. We celebrated my birthday aboard friends Barrett and Renee's boat "Serendipity". We sailed about 5 miles south of Zihuatanejo to a great place for a day of snorkeling. We celebrated Christmas with Rena and many other cruisers for a turkey dinner at a restaurant on the beach in Zihuatanejo. The southern coast of Mexico has been beautiful and extremely warm and humid. Any coastal cities near the ocean in Mexico seem to be very crowded during the Christmas, New Year's and Easter weeks. It is amazing how quiet and relaxed the anchorages are, that is until the sea doo's, parasail boats and ski boats arrive! And, some of the biggest mega yachts I have seen. So many areas of Mexico seem so very poor and yet these Mega yachts are owned by Mexicans. An interesting culture! We are still working on our spanish, and enjoying the Mexican people.
We want to wish everyone a Happy 2009!!!
I have had a problem with internet connectivity from the boat-and am unable, at this time to send pictures. I will keep trying!
