This is the diary of our family sailing voyage aboard a 46 Foot Sailing Catamaran. We are Michael and Barb, with our children Danielle and Harrison who were 11 and 8 when we started in October 2009 from San Diego. We've been cruising through Mexico and the next leg of our travels takes us to the South Pacific. You can contact us by email at michael@mitgangs.com or barbg@mitgangs.com.

Surfing
Danielle, my dad and our guests took surfing lessons at Punta Mita over winter break on the biggest surf day of the year. I stood up on my first try. Because I'm shorter and my center of gravity is lower, it is easier for me than for bigger people. It is similar to wakeboarding because you stand up on a board. In wakeboarding, though, you get pulled by a rope and in surfing you get pushed by a wave. It was scary going up the wave and exciting going down. Danielle got a wave that took her all the way in to shore. I hope that my friends that don't know how to surf, learn.

Huss, I still remember how quickly you got up on skis at Irwin Inn, so I can understand how quickly you would have gotten up to surf - I can almost picture you riding the waves. (Zaidah and) I can't wait to be there with you and share in your experiences, although I hope you don't expect me to surf with you!!!
