"For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know. The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I will do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar in the breeze."--Richard Bode
Crossing the Tehuantepec was the most frightening passage since leaving San Diego. There can be gale force winds blowing across from the Gulf of Mexico because of the narrow land mass and mountains. We waited for a good weather report and made the two day passage with 8 other boats. Had calm seas and a combination of sailing and motoring. There is an abundance of life here. We even had a whale dive lengthwise under our boat giving us a view of his large tail off our bow (little too close for comfort).
