MX-TX passage notes

Our passage from Isla Mujeres, Mexico to Freeport, TX was a blissfully uneventful 755 miles covered in 6 nights and 6 days.

We had GREAT weather, due in part to being patient and working with the amazing Chris Parker to plan our passage. We were able to sail for about half the time, and motor-sailed the rest of the way.

We were surprised by the lack of traffic (only saw about a dozen cargo ships); perhaps this was due to our route to Freeport, not Corpus or Houston.

We were also surprised by our lack of luck fishing! This was also the only passage were we have not caught a fish – such a bummer!

We were thrilled to have some longtime friends join us for the trip and that made it all the more easy – and fun!

Of course, what happens on passage, stays on passage 😉

But, here are a few photos fit for the ‘net:
