Not much has been happening here thanks to the weather. This was Monday night's sunset. |
Some clouds. |
On Tuesday Wayne and I did get out on the water for a few hours. Here we about to go through a ditch with shallow water on either side. This ditch is named... |
..."toilet seat" for obvious reasons. What isn't obvious is why someone decided to start marking the ditch with bathroom fixtures. It's been this way for years; I can remember coming through here with Capt. Chuck Nolan back in the early 90s...and the seats were already there at that time. |
We went over to Charlie's place as he had some bait fish collecting under his dock that we wanted to catch. The baitfish had attracted a number of birds including this odd pair. I think the pelican was hoping his smaller buddy would dive down and get a fish that the big bird could then "talk" him out of. |
I was in a lousy position to try to photograph Wayne using the castnet... ...but here you can see he'd made a decent cast... |
...resulting in a net full of baitfish... |
...called pilchards. Just about every fish that swims loves pilchards. |
We saw a flamingo... but couldn't get close enough for a good photo as it was on the other side of a sandbar. |
Saw a bunch of sharks. See those fins sticking up there? Click on the photo to enlarge. |
Wayne hooked something...shark or barracuda...we never got to see the fish as it took off... ...and broke his line. We got into some decent-sized ladyfish after this. |
Sunset on the 26th. |
Ibis. |
Iggy the Iguana showed up for the first time this year. |
Cloudy sky and rain on Wednesday. |
Rain most of the day on Thursday. |
These standup-paddle-boarders got caught out in the rain... ...and they must have been fairly well chilled by the time the got wherever they were going. |
