After being in Zihua for 3 days we are feeling very perky. Zihua is a lovely place with lots of stores, restaurants and great walking. Since we were last here (perhaps 10 yr ago) the town has done wonders to improve the ambience. It is much cleaner while still maintaining its charm.
Twice a day we take the dog into shore and then we explore or shop or eat.
They have a great service here for people who dinghy in. Two men share the job. They are on shore to help you come into shore. The surf has not been bad at all but it is so nice to have someone grab the dinghy and help you out of the boat. I am getting much betting at getting in and out of the dingy ..in fact Bob commented today on how agile I had become...a week ago I was still cautious/lumbering and that leads to dinghy disasters.
Today I was able to renew our Mexican medical. What wonderful people they have in the office here..unlike some of my dealings in Patzcuaro. That is a huge load off my mind.
Apparently the tourism in Zihua this year is very bad...the worst it has been ever according to a woman who lives here. That is so sad as this is a lovely place.
Can you believe that now I am fine on the boat but when I go to shore I am dizzy?? I have to really watch how much coffee I drink as that makes me feel even worse. So now I have to drink weak coffee and also be very careful how much alcohol I drink..a glass or 2 of wine and that is it. What sacrifices I make for my husband!!
We are still hoping to visit Caleta but our friend who lives there says that the surf will be very wild on the weekend. Our plan is to wait until Sunday and see if the sea calms any and if not we will sail from here to Manzanillo. That is a 36 hr sail which neither of us likes (because of the dog) but it may be our only choice.
Bob is sitting on deck enjoying the beautiful view and I am going out to join him.
