February summary

Here are a few pictures depicting our last couple of weeks.   

Valentines’ day was a delicious dinner out.   We were entertained by the ‘Fire Juggler’ and by a volunteer crew (fellow beach campers) helping out at Bertha’s, our local Restaurant & Bar.

John and Nick sailing on a calm afternoon....no racing that day!

More Dolphin activity - so amazing to watch.

The 3 hour/8 mile kayak trip south – we were lucky to have such a calm day!

My new best friend!  wonder why??

Our private beach on the other side of the bay!  Another calm day to motor all the way across and back again.

The back road adventure!

The road that is really not a road!!!  this is Steve and Nan blazing trail in front of us!  they did not make it quite wide enough for us.....

Catching up on news – the wind finally stopped, here are a couple of photos of the wind events!  A Prindle catamaran flipped over on the beach – it was an easy rescue, John is very experienced at righting catamarans!!  Day 2 of the wind building the waves – we got the firepit cleaned out! Ha ha ha   Luckily we had moved all the boats up to higher ground and nothing washed away to sea.

The Pot luck on the rain night was a success – everyone here is busy chatting and waiting for the fire to be ready to cook on.

The ice-cream truck came by a few days earlier – music and all – felt just like when I was a kid, running to get an ice-cream!  Of course ice-cream makes a day perfect for John!

Here is the next fiesta night – the great big yellowtail caught by a couple of our beach fishermen!  Good job!!!…..yum yum.

This was a big kayaking expedition, not at all planned, we all were leaving the beach at the same time, so we joined up and did a tour of the island.  Quite a sight to see 8 kayaks paddling around together.

Everyone was wondering – where have all the fish gone??? Not many colorful fish to be seen!

Our beach life chores are getting easier!  We have a pumper truck (aka ‘honey wagon’) coming by every two weeks – YAY!  And the propane truck stopped on his way home, saves us a trip to Santa Rosilita or Loretto or two trips to town, delivering the tank and picking it up manana!

Oh and did I tell you about the day I was kayaking with the Dolphins.......!!!!!
