Reflections on the first 3 days of passage by Sierra

Our first day of passage was Easter Sunday! We made little bunnies out of marshmallows and decorated them with hard candies. We motored and sailed 165 miles the first day.

I found this “decorate your peep” kit at the La Comer supermarket in Puerto Vallarta.

The second day was April Fools day. We posted a joke on the internet that some people believed because dad did such a good job writing the description. We also sent a video prank to John and Eunice grandparents saying our water maker broke and had to return to Mexico which was a little mean and we apologized after.

On April 2 we had big waves coming from many directions and it was the most uncomfortable day we have had on the boat yet. We spent most of the day listening to Percy Jackson book 4. We went 188 miles on the 3rd day and we got our first goody bag that had candy and toys in it!

Our paper chart where we plot our position every 24 hours. We also put on it the eclipse path of totality for April 8. We probably won’t be in the path of totality but it’s fun to see how close we will get.

Since the start at La Cruz we have sailed over 500 miles which made me feel proud and happy that we will soon be away from the confused seas of the Sea of Cortez.

We are marking how many miles we do every day. The marquesas are about 3000 miles from Mexico.

We have had amazing food because my mom has provisioned just right. We were able buy a mini fridge in Mexico that is extra storage for fresh things for the first few days.
