There had been much plotting leading up to April Fool's Day. Our boat neighbours have two lovely daughters, Giada, 9 and Alba, 6. As you can remember, April Fool's Day is a BIG deal! Especially when there are 4 adults to prank.... The girls had many questions daily on what may or may not be suitable for the upcoming morning. Thank goodness that I was involved! Some gentle redirecting of energy and voila! We pranked the
grown-ups!

Where DID all these wee little girlie flip flops & shoes come from?



Has anyone seen my shoes?



Doesn't... quite... fit...



You could've heard the laughter all the way out at Isla Espiritu Santo! We had so much fun... But wait there's more!

We buddy boated for a final trip this season. Off we went with s/v Giada Marina & s/v Arctic Tern & s/v Scot Free Eh. We had wanted to do this for the last 4 seasons - the time was right!

Dinner aboard Scot Free Eh night one anchored in Ensenada Grande!





Alba found a predecessor of Nimo....



Graham got the girls ready for a snorkel.



Alessandro had made a spear gun and took it out for a trial. He came back very successful!



We were in awe of this beautiful fish. In the crystal clear blue waters, Alex thought it was a green fish.



... and where's your fish? ...



Who doesn't love having their hair styled on the beach? Alessandro is also an accomplished hair stylist... he brought out the scissors & cape and the lovely Dariella as his assistant.



It was quite breezy which added an element of difficulty but it didn't stop Alex!



I love it!



There was opportunity for the girls to do some drawing. Alba drew this for us...



and this from Giada - for "Ant" Debbie....



Giada's detail is so well done. You can easily see who is who!
