Dorado Saturday

It’s a great afternoon in Cabo San Lucas, the sun still shinning high in the sky awarding us with a temperature of 75 degrees and wind coming from the south east at 12 mph.

Playing out in the water for the second day in a row were George and Ron Powell along with two of their buddies. The vessel of the day was our 32’ RedBeam led by Captain Marcial and Mate Mu~neca (translation: doll? I’m still not sure why they call him that, maybe next week). They matched yesterday with another gorgeous Dorado. Besides catching dinner they got to do a bit of whale watching out on the sea of Cortez as well as spotting plenty of marlin (guess they weren’t hungry), dolphins and manta rays.

On our other 32’ RumRunnin, Captain Javier and Mate Mickey headed out to the sea of Cortez as well, parking in front of Cabo’s stunning Chileno bay known for the best snorkeling in the area. Hailing from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Scott Jones and his wife were out to catch a meal this morning and that they did, bringing in two more Dorado’s. Along the way they were visited by a mother whale and her calf and teased by a few marlins as well.

Stumbling in an hour or so after sunrise, and after the two other groups, was our bachelor party of eight. Heck, who can blame them. Unfortunately it seems that they weren’t the only ones with hangovers as the fish seemed to duck away into their own private havens. After a courageous attempt, the group decided to head back to dry land where the ground doesn’t move so much. At least they were well prepped for their day with cold beer!

Until ma~nana!
