The netting and deep, blue Caribbean Sea. |

Stefanie gets comfortable and settles into the netting off the bow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ingrid is comfortable too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

We have tacked and headed south past Jade Bay, South Akumal, Aventuras Akumal, and Bahia Principe where Gonzalo Arcila greets us in a Hobbie Cat. |

"What's that commotion back there?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ryan gets up to see the excitement and test his sea legs. |
|
|
|
