Catch of the day

Today I had my first phone call en español; just a quick question of asking to speak to someone but I did have a backup question in place if they were not available.  At least the person who answered the phone understood what I wanted!  For some strange reason all of the scuba diving boats remained in the marina today which is most unusual – I checked on the internet to see if it was a national holiday of some kind but could not find anything to suggest why they were all grounded.  The fishing boats were out as normal and by lunch time we could see a few had come back with some good catches so thought it might be a good time for a photo.  This guy’s crew brought in a good-sized Mahi-mahi:



In addition to a human audience the catch also brings out the local wildlife, including pelicans and then this stingray appeared in the marina (looking for scraps?) which is first one we’ve seen here.   We ended up watching the dolphins once again, as they are always so much fun to see.


Notice the 3rd dolphin in the background who was jumping out of the water as these two were on their way back in

The bad news is that we are nearing crisis level once again, but this time with rum (it's not just me - Malcolm has been practising his Cuba Libres), vodka and Kahlua.  Looks like a trip to Sam’s Club is necessary in the very near term.
