Second blog post of the day.

Today was a work/rest day. We checked the weather last night and decided to wait a day here in Bahia Santa Maria. With that in mind, the crew were mostly sleeping in. Kay likes some quiet time in the morning alone in the cockpit, so she was the only one up, sipping her coffee when a panga with a couple of fishermen showed up at Rover (we were the only boat in the bay). Kay had a few words in Spanish and called for the captain. We figured out they wanted batteries for a handheld gps. We had spares, so gave them 4 AAs. I asked them if we could buy some fish from them for dinner and they agreed to come back in the afternoon.

Linda and Kay were playing cribbage when they saw a panga round the point and head straight for Rover. Kay called out “Eric, your friends are here.” When they arrived they had several 4-5 foot sharks and a basket of smaller fish (photo). We had some discussion about which type among the smaller fish was best for grilling and they sold us a Sierra and a Bonita (we think).
