High Tide !
We went for a walk on the La Penita beach this morning but couldn't go too far because it was high tide and very dangerous. We saw the fisherman fixing their nets and saw one who ventured out into the surf with his net and he threw it out and caught fish. He had a whole pail full in about an hour!

We also talked to a couple who have a home down here. The gentleman is Bill , and he actually hales from Whitewood, SK! His wife Evelyn is also from Sk and , small world, she's the sister of one of the owners of the house we are staying in ! They have 3 suites in their casa that they rent. Beautiful place, close to the ocean, something to consider maybe down the road.

For lunch we had fish tacos at a small restaurant. I tried the same thing for our supper tonite but didn't deep fry the fish . We enjoyed both meals .

Tomorrow we're off the Chakala with Mimi and Yves for a quiet day on the beach in an historic fishing town up the coast. we're both starting to look browner, but we're very careful with the sun. It isn't as harsh as it is in the summer back home, but it is very humid here.

The tide is very rough ! These boats stayed in for a few hours.

Fixing the nets before going back out into the ocean.

I think he can see the fish in the waves. These waves were really violent and he just cast his net over and over. If the fish were too small he let them go. We saw him catch a couple of 6-8 inch ones of different species. the pelicans around him were busy too. They dove in from quite high to catch fish.
