Another Beautiful November Sail

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Vince • 0 Comments

Kevin finished up his refersher course with me today and we caught some beautiful light southern winds with a taste of fog in them today and then when the wind died we took a quick snorkel session at Martini Cove. So here are some nice pictures of the Teta Kawi with a hint of fog in them, thanks Kevin for coming down and getting me away from the stinking computer for a few days!!!

Kevin from Tucson down for refresher

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Vince • 0 Comments

Kevin came back down to do a quick refresher course with me. We had a simply fantastic day sailing around the bay. Before we raised the sails here in San Carlos we stopped off at the Aquarium to clean the bottom of the boat and do some quick snorkeling. The water temperature is still around 78 degrees and it was the 7th of November. So much for Global Warming!!!! After sailing in the bay I gave Kevin a trainer kite so he could play on the beach!!! He is hooked on kite boarding now for sure!!!

: I gave Kevin a kite board lesson after sailing, he is hooked!

P1330361 the crew — Juan, Miguel and Nancy

Nancy the sign painter form Colorado, Juan the retired corporate lawyer form Mexico City and his son Miguel the marketing representative from Pfizer are having one of the best 8 day sailing courses I have every taught. We have just completed day 5 and it looks like we will have three more days of wind for a full monty 8 straight windy days. The fishing has been pretty good all week so far. We have caught and released several skip jack and have kept two nice Sierra Mackerels to eat and today in about 40 feet of water just a few hundred yards off the beach at la posada we caught and released a baby sailfish!!!!

We found our local population of dolphins on our third day out so we sailed with them for a while as reflects the pictures below. Tomorrow we set off on our Trimaran Windsplitter for our three day live aboard.

Fantastic week of sailing so far, in Spanish we would say Super Chingon, how I love October in the San Carlos!!!!!

Pechocho the Solitary Dolphin of Topolobampo

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Vince • 0 Comments

Here in Topolobampo there lives in a secluded estuary at the base of the light house just around the point from punta copas a solitary dolphin. He has been named Pechocho by the locals. Short for preciosos. He has lived here all his approximately 20 years. He is a amazing animal and I have never had an experience like it in my life. The video will be interesting to say the least. Here are a few pics of this amazing creature.

: he especially liked Chantik

: I love the Heron in the back ground

: Pechocho loved to examine my dive fins

: a big smile for the camera
