Life with the kids

And the most popular activity...








...SLEEP! Ah! Qu'il est doux de ne rien faire quand tout s'agite autour de vous!

What do we do at sea?

What happened to Puerto Escondido...




...the surfers'paradise? Well, Zephyr HAD to surf, of courses, and we wanted to visit our old friend Dan from the Sunshine Coast who has built a little paradise, a sweet hotel, on the mountain over the beautiful beach of Puerto Escondido. But the anchorage was so bad, too close to the beach for confort, big surf, rocks, numerous pongas, an underwater deep canyon right to the beach, salsa dancing all night, thunderstorm, fire works...that we left the next day though the weather predictions were rather bad and we got tossed around, washing machine effect, allnight long until we reached Huatulco. NN! (Not Nice). On the way, we passed many little birds hitchiking a ride on the backs of big sea turtles. Rather cute. Oh! The big fish is a marlin.

Monkeys and birds





This family of spider monkeys has 16 females and babies under the surveillance of Poncho, the male. They climb on us to reach the bananas offered by a farmer of the neighboroud. One night I dream of small birds landing on the boat and few days later, three swallows arrive one stormy night and sleep on my head for few hours. What a delight!
