Swell


Well, we really got excited when we checked the surf forecast and saw that the storm in the north Pacific will be sending significant swell in our direction. According to Ryan, who monitors surf forecasting with zeal, this is a 60-year swell that is lining up to break beautifully off of Punta Mita, which just happens to be where we are headed. If you are someone who understands swell forecasting, or if you like to look at colorful maps, take a look at the forecast here: http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display.cgi?a=npac_height
I will try to figure out how to officially add the link, too.
What this all means for us is that we are now super-motivated to get to mainland Mexico, as quickly as possible, so we can surf this swell. As I type, the engine is running and the boys are preparing to push the boat off, away from the marina's docks. So, I better go help. We hope you are all well and enjoying whatever it is that you enjoy, at this time of year.
Know that we love you.
Jess & Ryan, with Harry & Tyler :)

  1. I heard about the terrific waves in Hawaii and I wondered whether you all were jealous. I guess I didn't understand that the waves ultimately reach you. Have fun. Stay healthy. By the way, we had our first significant snow fall here in Connecticut last night. It looks like an old fashioned Christmas scene right now.
