Boat Found!

Just a quick post to say that I've found a boat! The Spirit of Nyami Nyami is owned by an older Zimbabwean fellow called Don. He has a captain on board from the states called Ben. We'll be heading to Puerto Vallarta sometime in the next couple of days.
From there, should I still be in their good graces and they in mine, we will point into the South Pacific. Their ultimate destination is New Zealand.

If we aren't thrilled with each other, there will be many many more boats in PV that are taking off to cross the pond. I've learned that La Paz is more of a stopping point on the way to points south in Mexico, which are more common jumping off points.

I'm very excited, naturally, but also a little bit in disbelief at how quick and easy this has gone so far. I've gotten good recommendations about Don, Ben and the boat from other sailors. Plus, it feels really good to have a short sail ahead to check everything out.

More to come prior to launch.
