Puerto Ballandra

Saturday, April 7th.  And we're anchored in Puerto Ballandra (Isla Carmen).  Yes, we have arrived.  Our goal was to circumnavigate this Island and we're doing it!  

Kathy spent hours in her kayak today and took lots of great photos.  These are two; testament to how clear the water is and how colourful the wildlife.  First, a starfish like we've never seen before and... yup a red and blue crab....  (missin' our Dungeness :-( 

I spent some time in the dinghy trolling various lures back and forth around the rocky point just outside.  After only a few nibbles, and watching the fish in the see-through water, I switched to a good old, white, buzz bomb.  Must have hit the critter on the head when I tossed it in.  He was so shocked he grabbed it and, voila!, it's trigger fish for dinner tonight. 

We head to Puerto Escondido tomorrow... time to clean up and do laundry.  Then we'll be back out and back at it.  Hope all is well with each of you. Best always.  CJ
