HUATULCO MEXICO
CHAHUE
Huatulco means: Place where the wood is adored. Legends says 2,000 years ago, the apostle St. Thomas floated ashore atop a gnarled tree shaped like a cross, set it into the main beach sand and taught the locals to worship it, and they did for 15 centuries.

We stayed here for a week at Chahue Marina. Bill and Martha from Shadow are here also. Carl worked on the auto pilot day and night, until he hated the sight of the thing. In these small towns in Mexico you can’t just go to a boat store and buy boat parts or even order those in on hopes that they would arrive.

Huatulco has about 15 miles of bays with tiny coves to explore. Cruise ships dock in the middle of Huatulco bay. Anchoring of any other vessels is prohibited. Town is clean and very touristy. Martha and I did a lot of shopping while the men drank Corona at the bar. NO Minimo, minimo here!

Being in Mexico all the stores, banks and Pemex gas station names are very familiar we get the feeling that we are getting closer to home. We feel a since of accomplishment arriving in Mexico, but they are mixed feelings. Do we hurry to get home or do we still stop and smell the roses? We are still filled with a sense of adventure, wanting the moment to go on forever; the sound of the sea rushing under the boat; the feel of the wind on our backs and the spray of the water all around us. We say let’s find some rosés.
