Sunday, June 13, 2010 – Acapulco, Mexico





Just before sunrise we spotted dozens of porpoises around the boat as well as a number of sea turtles. The sea was flat and a light morning haze somewhat obscured the view of the mountains of Mexico to our starboard side. At 4 pm after five days and five hours at sea, and a total of 1121 nautical miles, from Golfito, Costa Rica, we arrived in Acapulco and tied up to the fuel dock for the night at the Acapulco Yacht Club.

As we waited for the Customs, Immigration and Department of Agriculture officials to clear us into the country, we enjoyed a cocktail or two at the yacht club restaurant. Soon we had the three officials plus our “agent” on the boat to complete the necessary paperwork. Afterwards, we shared a nice evening meal at the yacht club restaurant.
