Santiago Bay

We are here in lovely Santiago Bay just north of Manzanillo.  The weather has been perfect 80 to 85 and water just enough to be cooling.  The water is very clear here and there is so much sea life.  We had a mother humpback whale and her baby swim by the boat two days in a row, they are so close you can smell their breath (Yucky!!). Then they go out and she shows the little one how to fling itself out of the water, looks like they are having a blast!   We have not gotten any pictures cause they seen to be the shy kinda whales and we are the forgetful kinda humans... “Where is the camera?”  “You had it last! “ 

 We will try better tomorrow.

We had 2 days of heavy rain and wind then just like that the rain withdrew and we got a great rainbow over La Manzanilla.

  The next days were just picture perfect and gorgeous, Filled with bocce on the beach and beers in the palapa.


 We hired a panga to take 12 of us to La Manzanilla for a day of provisioning, looking at the crocs and lunch on the beach.  The crocs were bigger and there were more than we have ever seen.  In typical mexican fashion there is a very crummy chainlink fence separating you from the crocs.  Bob, Deanna and Patches(a rat terrier) were with us and one of the ladies said to take the dog away because she has seen the croc go under the fence to get a dog!  Needless to say we did not get any pictures with Patches and the crocs

 

 

 

 

 

 Mike got his Christmas present late this year; it is a conch shell that has been modified to blow a beautifiul bass note to signal sundown
