In the Far North

Well it is  a while since our last entry.....

We are in San Felipe, close to the mouth of the Colorado and convenient fro San Diego, as Charlie is off to Suisse for a few days for the launch of the Sochi winter Games project.

The recent highlight was definitely swimming with this guy and his two buddies. They were really babies at 12-14ft (Whale sharks can reach 60ft) but still pretty impressive as they come out of the gloom. They circled the boat for about two hours until a nice man on a jetski scared them off.

It is hot, about 100°F/38°C most days and our comfort depends on the presence of a breeze. It sure encourages swimming which we do a lot of, snorkelling and spearfishing.

And heres ours- but bigger than it looks and plenty of delicious eating for the four of us. We don't have any refrigeration so can't keep fish for more than a few hours.
