Bahia Ballendra May 5


Morning in Bahia Ballendra. This was a wonderful little bay on the Isla Carmen.








I found a really cool skull of a trigger fish. Apparently fish don't have dental plans!











The boat looked like a oasis to us from this vantage.



The whole island is a park so you can only take pictures and Mr. Tucker was not allowed on shore.We tried to take a walk up the canyon but we started our hike way too late in the morning. The little flies and the temperature soon got the better of us and we scooted back to the boat pretty quick.



The water is getting clearer and clearer and is teaming with all kinds of sea life. I have posted a short video of Jacque Simmsau trying to cock the trigger on his spear gun that Allan gave him. He finally did get it cocked and jumped in the water, aimed at a fish and BAM! scared the bejesus out of both Doug and the fish. I think he needs a smaller spear-gun or perhaps a Hawaiian Sling.

We waited at this anchorage, with internet, for SV BlueDolphin, Peregrine and Ubuntu to join us.

At one point during a sunset there were about 100 Small Rays jumping and slapping the water.  It was really quite amazing.  I didn't get any good shots or video but Muggs off of SVPeregrine took a great video completely by accident.
