The Mather Family has been Around . . .
The Mather Family — Jim, Emma, and children Phoebe,12, and Drake, 11 — report they’ve been around . . . the world, in fact, aboard their Redondo Beach-based DownEast 45 Blue Sky.

They re-crossed their outbound track at Zihuatanejo a few days ago, in time for Zihua SailFest. It was from SailFest ’06 that they began their five-year circumnavigation as part of the Pacific Puddle Jump group.

"We plan on spending the cruising season in Mexico, reacquainting ourselves with old friends in Barra, Tenacatita, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and La Paz. In June, we plan to work out way back up the Pacific Coast of Baja, making stops along the way. We have a homecoming tentatively slated for July 23, with family, friends, followers and suppliers all invited."
Well done, Mather family. If anyone else is completing a circumnavigation, we’d love to hear from you.
