8 kids, 50 kts winds and a lagoon

the adventure continues
    We have been blessed to see our family,  mom and Victoria and the clan of kids (totaling 8) with the new born Nicolas of 11 weeks. our youngest crew member to date. to the total of 12 on board this was very cosy to say the least. We also were blessed with the 50 knot winds that welcomed them on board the first night, luckly we were in the Lagoon in Barra de Navidad and were pelted with heavy rain for the first 2 days of family. we were so excited to be together we didn't seem to mind as we sat under the tarp  in the cockpit. Once the rain passed we lifted anchor and sailed the 3 hours to Tennicatita for a few nights this was amazing to share with family. It really feels fullfilling to share the lifestyle and for them to see and feel our life here on the ocean, I think they finally understand. nonetheless we are now in a Casa in Melaque for the week and we our family Nikita and Kiya and Noah have been in Awe of the space, the fee water and hot and we are showering twice daily. Noah a record 45 min shower and 3 shampoosand  spreading his toes and all else you can imagine. We have not slept in beds for 3 months and feel unbeiliveable stretching. for the firstday or so the house felt like it to was moving around. could thisbe land sickness? just kidding. well we are enjoying a holiday looking through fresh and amazed eyes and seeing Mexico again with renewed excitment.
