Zihuatanejo happened to be our favourite anchorage in all of Mexico! We spent alittle over two weeks puttering around the town, exploring, eating good food and enjoying everything that Zihua had to offer. The town was clean and safe, the beaches were beautiful white sand and the nightlife was always bumping with bars and karaoke. We didn't film much here but what we did film we wanted to share,...

Thank you to the owners of Elan for the opportunity to participate in this years race for sailfest, it was ...

We sailed our sailboat, Sitka, to a bay we consider the epitome of cruising. Ensenada Carrizal ticked all our boxes when it comes to enjoying a desolate spot. With good night rests and early morning snorkels, this bay was beyond enjoyable. Other cruisers told us Carrizal was a "must stop" and now we understand why! Next stop on our adventure: Zihuatanejo!

A shocking sight to see!!! In this video, we lift our hook and sail away from Barra de Navidad only to discover a 732 ft shipwreck when rounding the southern tip of this cute fishing village. An absolute crazy view to sail by and even more interesting one we researched to story behind it. 25 nm from that point, we sailed to Manzanillo to discover one of the prettiest cities on the pacific coast...

You heard that right. Our very first time dragging at anchor (and hopefully the last) In this video on sailing sitka, one of our worst nightmares while being at anchor came true when a wild wind gust lasting hours knocked sitka off her original position and dragged her back towards other boats and even a sandbar. This was our experience while dragging, what was yours?

We hope you enjoyed this ...
