Umm, dorado dinner enroute .

From Dec. 20 to Feb. 3 we anchored off Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico. This is a very pleasant town. There are about 40 other boats here for the holidays on average, with a few leaving or arriving each day. The "bright lights/ big city" resort of Ixtapa is about 20 minutes away by bus. Zihuatanejo has a tourist industry, too, but it's lower-key, and the buildings are lower-rise. We happily relaxed here, waiting for mail to catch up with us.
