Catching Up!


The days are going by so quickly now.  The wind has slowed down, and the temperature is rising, and the time is running out..........

The last weeks are always busy getting to the activities planned but not happened yet.  Lots of pictures to tell the stories.............
Another day of beachcombimg - photo by Nan


Craft Day - working on a gourd
The finished project!


John leading the way into an estuary in Santa Barbara Bay

a little further up the river...

After the river trip we head over to Isla Tecomate or Hat Island as we call it.
This island is another to add to my "List"

A beautiful evening on the beach.

A flat calm morning and a visitor to the bay!  Look closely and you may see a black fin.
 the fin appears again just behind me....

 Yay! finally getting close to the whale shark....it was a very short visit this time.  This whale shark was about 20 - 25 feet long, and a bit shy.


A reunion at the beach!
 Friends from Gabriola Island stop to visit on route to La Paz. We are calling this a no boat rendezvous - we all are Fisher Owners and belong to the FOG group at home.  Chris and Marilyn (Fisher 30) Steve and Nan (Fisher 37) and us John and Deb  (Fisher 25)  
Good Times!

The  Birds and the Bees!
Hey, that's my food!

A special treat - pedicure with Denise


A trip to the Garlic farms at San Jose de Magdalena - time for a tailgate party.



Another road trip - this one is a back road adventure to rock/cave paintings on the other side of Bahia Conception.  We have taken this trip before, it is a beautiful place to be.
driving up the river

crossing a wash

On the way home we stop at one of our favorite watering holes!


See this little bay? wouldn't you love to kayak around here?

This trip was a bit of a challenge - 8 explorers having to portage a portion of the bay.

Nan having a good chuckle at John.....yup he's stuck has to get out and drag the kayak across the sandbar just like the rest of us.
 I must point out that this is technically an Island (at high tide) - Isla El Requeson - another for my list!

what is everyone looking at??

this Black-crowned Night-heron

John drifts by the egrets and herons....

 The end of a long day usually means hungry and thirsty - we always find an answer to that problem!

Good Times! with Good Friends!
