Well, another week has passed and we are a little more tanned and getting used to the laid back lifestyle of the unemployed. Went up to Bahia San Pedro last weekend. Had to motor up but sailed back with some swell from behind us-about 4feet or so. Was interesting a few times.
Did some fishing on Thursday and today. We caught 2 the first time - a sierra(mackeral) and a sea bass. Today we caught 7. 3 leopard cabrilla, 2 finescale triggerfish and 2 sea bass.
Bought some honeydew melons from a roadside vendor for 20 pesos. Weighed one and it is 10 pounds 6 ounces! For a $1.75. Incredible. Bought a 14 ounce new york steak for 42 pesos, a dozen large eggs is 19 pesos. Bought a whole roasted chicken in the supermarket one day for 55 pesos. Gasoline is 8.6 pesos a liter.
Here are some photos of our first fish and one of the beaches near San Carlos that we go to. The RVérs just pull up to the edge of the sea and set up camp. Guess it is commonplace in this part of Mexico, as well as Baja side as well, will find out when we get there.
Hey there.....this is so funny cause I finally got to read your blog last night again and I was trying to sign in to post a comment and could not get in to post!!! So I am not quite sure how this happened and my picture disappeared as well as my name....but it is me, Janice!!! I just have too many accounts with too many passwords....hahaha...can't keep them all straight!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so exciting to read your posts and I can just "feel" the thrill of your adventure. It is making me remember our "short" 6 weeks last year....:) I remember how time consuming it was to upload pictures for sure and sometimes impossible. I have been dreaming of white coral sandy beaches and the snorkelling.....OH MY, how much I know you are in HEAVEN. I am living vicariously through you right now. I know you are enjoying beyond my wildest dreams. Have enough FUN for all of us and maybe one day soon you will have inspired us all to do the same.....lol
I can't wait to read more posts from you and see as many pics as you are able to upload. How is the dog doing??? Take care and have a snorkel for me....oh and one of those big juicy mexican papayas.....I love those and could live off them. Sail away......
Sheena says "HI"
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up ( which some believe may be in jeapordy, ) I want to be an unemployed person sailing around warm Pacific waters and living off of local produce too...... But when I stop and think about that, I realize I would have to give up so many things. Yard work, and as we head into November the possibility of shoveling the sidewalk and making snow angels, getting into heated comfy running vehicle, (if you remembered to set the remote start) Northern lites, a traditional Christmas with snowflakes falling while I sit by the fire and I think I just CAN'T do it. Nope! OMG WHaaaaaaaa I wanna come toooooooooooo whaaaaaa What the heck was I thinking..... have fun :-( ;)
