The crew of Yahtzee embarks on a 450-mile passage from Nicaragua to Mexico.
With hurricane season coming in the tropics and a summer in Alaska on the horizon, our crew decided to leave San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua and head back to a place we loved earlier in the year, Chiapas, Mexico. The weather shaped up for days of glorious downwind sailing under the Code Zero with dolphins playing on the bow, stars telling stories across the sky, and the crew settling into a groove. Enjoy!
