Photos from Acapulco

Sowell Family's Travels on Gijima

Skipper: Tim Sowell Admiral Tracy Crew Sean & Alex

Wed 31 Mar 2010 01:27

These photos cover the sail from Z "Wot" to Acapulco, which we had a good
broad reach, and you can see us passing "Endurance" in the afternoon. We
visited the old town of Acapulco, and you see the VW Beetle as the main
taxi. We then visited the "Cliff Divers getting a great evening and sunset
combined with the cliff jumper session, photos did not quiet catch this, but
you can see how turbulent the water is and how narrow.
