Well SEASILK is officially as far south as we ever plan to take her. We are anchored in beautiful Z-what bay. As we left the boat in our Dinghy to go into town and sign up for Sailfest/Check in with the Capitana de Puerto, we watched two fishermen catch a pelican. It was a U-tube moment as pelican grabbed the bait fish while the fisherman was swinging the line over his head in preparation to cast. Once the pelican had the bait fish we wasn't going to let go even though he was now flying in a circle over the fishermen's heads. The scene ended with a second pelican getting involved which caused the first pelican to drop the fish, but not before he became tangled in the fishing line and made another circle around the fishermen with the bait fish dangling between the two pelicans and the fishermen before the pelican crashed into the water. We continued on into the beach as the fishermen tried to separate their line and bait from some scared and angry pelicans.

Z-fest begins tomorrow evening with a captain's meeting, followed on Wednesday by a race. All proceeds go to support a local children's organization. SEASILK is signed up to take 12 people out for the race/parade...a privilege that the people will donate 300 pesos (about $27US) to do.
