Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Turtle Tracks

There was something interesting on the small beach at Costa Baja!
A turtle had wandered all over the beach in circles and loops then finally found a spot to lay her eggs.Someone had marked the nest with small clumps of seaweed and a traffic cone.The next day we noticed a fence around it.
We were all happy to see the protection that is given to the turtle nests.

We also found a dead eel on the beach.Interesting things come up on the beaches the day after a hurricane...

Deep fried eel strips are really good. You should try it sometime.

Thanks Alaskan Dave - think I just run right back out to that beach and get that eel!

Actually eel is my favorite item to order when I eat sushi - it's cooked with a sweet teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds on it - YUM!
