Our last evening in Acapulco was spent enjoying a
beautiful sunset and dinner with the gang.
With an early morning departure we returned to the boat early, I was surprised to find roses in the shape of a heart on my bed, cute teddy bear and chocolates...

Leaving Acapulco we pulled the anchor and started
our thirty hour cruise to Hualtaco Mexico to wait out the winds in the Tehuantepecs.
Three hours into our trip we caught a Durado. This beauty was 53” long,
weighing over 30 pounds. Our freezer is busting with fillets.
Continuing on our way, we noticed whales spouting
in the distance. Bill altered our course a bit to bring us into a pod of
humpbacks. We cruised alongside the group for over an hour, watching them glide
through the water, waving their tails as they dove down only to resurface again
a few yards away. They put on a magnificent show.
Hard to believe, but our day got even
better. Susan and I saw a multitude of spouting, twirling dolphins in
our path. A huge group of spinner dolphins... They played at our bow forever.
We decided to stop the boat and go in with them!!!! Yes, I did!!!! My go pro
was magic. They didn't seem to be bothered by us at all. I lasted about 10
minutes. As I looked down bubbles burst onto my mask and I could hear a
squeaking sing song, with three dolphins coming up from the depths below. Swimming
straight up towards me. I squeaked too, rather loudly and swallowed a mouth full of
saltwater... The trio came within 3 feet, looked me over and decided I wasn't dangerous.
When they turned and look me in the eye, it got my attention.
