Another day in Paradise

I know the weather must be cold or quite possibly rainy somewhere, but being here day after day in the sun, some days very hot, some perfectly cooled by the wind, I admit I am beginning to take this all for granted.
So, another day in Barra de Navidad. It will be hard to leave here as we nearly have it all; surf, pools, beautiful beach, great little town, great cheap food, very secure non-rolly anchorage. The only thing I am missing is water I could swim in off the boat.

Anyhow, we will be leaving soon to begin our slog back north.

Yesterday was food day. We had very tasty street tacos, Coconut cookies, mango on a stick, ice cream, an iced latte, and then I made 3 pizzas on the boat. Today I tried to hold back a little but still enjoyed a mango on a stick on the beach and bought a gi-normous piece of cake for only a $1.50! This lady has a little case down on the malecon (beach promenade) with about 6 huge cakes in it, what steal!, and they are delicious.

I saw the largest fish of my life today too on the way to the cake lady. (Cake tasting was a necessary requirement in planning Jonah's "end of diapers" party). Anyhow, picture this: a crowd of people , hooting, hollering, then seeing 7-8 men dragging a blue marlin up to be measured. It was the size of 4 grown men, must have been 800-900 lbs, maybe more, and like 12ft long. I 'll check on the stats tomorrow and see how close my guesstimate is.

All for now, Heidi
