Today, I (Muggs) went to the Club Cruceros meeting place and met with other cruisers who like to sketch and paint. I have never really done this before, but I have an interest and brought some paints with me. I had fun and learned a lot, and here is my first effort:
But the real fun started when I returned to the marina. Larry had already returned a couple of hours before. During this time, a dolphin wandered into the marina and swam around in the slip next to our boat for a while!
How high tech is this, for just a couple of old f*&ts – Larry used his cell phone to take this picture, then he emailed it to our email account from which I downloaded it to the computer! I know, I know – not really very high tech, but consider who’s doing this and where!
When I arrived, I took several pictures as we waited for a boat to arrive that was going to escort (we thought) the dolphin back to open water:
See the paddle – I wasn’t sure what they had in mind, but it turned out not to be herding:
In the last picture, you can barely see the dolphin’s snout under a wet rag – on the floor, bottom right. The worker is washing him down with a hose:
That’s all for now. Tonight, we are going to a place called Bandido’s for hamburgers grilled in the engine compartment of an old Chevy!
That water looks amazing, and so inviting. Dolphins swimming by your front porch – what a concept!
How were the radiator burgers?
Anybody care about what happened to the dolphin???
The dolphin was taken out to open water and released.
And the burgers were great!
Do whale sharks bite?
Sharks do here in Australia except nirse sharks probably
No, whale sharks eat like balleen whales. They have no teeth. It is very safe to swim with them, and it is a very popular activity here for tourists.
Glad that you & Larry are enjoying the LONG SAIL (or a day or two on the dirt).
Since this is the end of April; OF COURSE – I went out to southern CA for the Newport/Ensenada race. We were in PHRF E and crossed the line 2nd but corrected to 4th – got a mug (that would not be you).
Have fun and take care.
I thought of calling you several times that week, but, of course, I was just so busy (ha, ha, ha!!) that it didn’t happen. Congratulations on your high placement.
