We're headed straight for the belly of the beast: the name that strikes fear into the heart of even the most experienced mariners, and the most dangerous part of our journey so far - The Tehuantepec Gulf.
This area off the coast of southern Mexico is capable of devastating wind speeds and unpredictable ocean currents. Most sailors prefer to avoid the area entirely by re-routing 500 miles off-course via Hawaii, however we have neither the time nor the resources to make such a massive diversion. Instead we have waited till this morning for a favourable weather forecast before setting sail with full engine power and all of our fingers crossed for the best.
If you're reading this now it means that we have made it through to the other side!

Hello my brave little sailor!!! I am glad I was not aware of what you were all going through in the 'storm'.
If indeed you were 'pathetic', this is the only time in your life you have ever been like that, so I think this one little lapse wont matter at all!!!!
We are all missing you as well Lisa, so will be very good to have you with us watching tv with bacon sandwiches! :)
Lots of love to you all !
Mom and Dad
