Adios Mexico

The dinghy is on deck, the tanks are full, food is organized, and spirits are soaring as Namaste sets sail this morning for her passage across the Pacific Ocean to the Marquesas.
We've had an unbelievable time at Las Islas Revillagigedos and our hearts are sad to say goodbye, but we're leaving this paradise for another.
The mantas, whales and dolphins at Isla San Benedicto and Clarion were an amazement. The diving has been spectacular and we've been blessed with great weather and good times.
We're extremely excited to reach the South Pacific and I'm pumped for my first big passage. Chris is a seasoned and salty sailor and this is his sixth time crossing the Pacific.
Wish we had more wind, the conditions are pretty mellow, but we'll raise the spinnaker and head out. We're expecting the 2,400-mile trip to take between 16-19 days. We'll stay in good touch via email and would love to get messages from all of you to help pass the time.
Much love, and many hugs and kisses to all our friends and family!
