Update and Day Four of Fishing

Our Monday walk to Barra.

I can not believe that it has been two weeks since we got here but it a has! Today our neighbors Jodi and Steve leave for home along with John and Loretta Sutherland. They fly out on the same plane and will leave us in the Pink House without guest for a while.

Monday the four Pink House occupants walked to Barra and looked around there.  The town was quiet. When we made our way to the malecon and the first thing we noticed was the reconstruction of the beach area that has taken place the last year.  When the hurricane took out most of the beach they brought in experts to try and stop the erosion of the malecon area.  We have photos posted of the area from last years past and the ones posted below can be compared to see what has been done. In my opinion, when the Ocean wants to break through the malecon it will and man can not stop it.

Yesterday Steve, John and I went fishing with Jerry again.  We had six fish strike at our lures over the course of the day, but only one sail fish hooked up for a fight.  Steve was in the batters box and got to fight it in to the boat.  It was a nice fish!

Here fishy fishy.

Fishing, Day Three

Went out with Jerry again today.  Last time we went out to the blue water after marlin. The boats closer to shore caught a few dorado and we didn't do as well.  Today we stayed close to shore and they hooked six marlin and landed one in the blue water. One of these days will be our turn and we will be in the right water.

We did catch five fish. Our trip provided a rather large and scary needle fish, a sierra, one dog eyed ???? and two bonito. The ocean provided us with a pod of three whales; mom, dad and junior. Several dolphins and a sea turtle.  Here are the pictures.
