Day 8 Rest day


Day 8
Rest day
Nada miles 1


So much for rest that morning, I could hear pelicans bombing the water right outside our hotel room. Every couple minutes they were taking a fish from the river next to Hotel Serinidad. The sunrise was worth the wake up. A quick jet boil and we strolled out to the inlet, passing the military outpost near the airstrip. Interesting. J threw the flyline out and wasn't able to connect with anything. We all headed down to downtown Mulege to grab some pesos from the ATM, some breakfast (chiliequiles) and some more oil for oil change.


We headed down to Santispac, the colors ....wow.


Made a hammock buddy



The water was beautiful and perfect for swimming. The bar/restaurant there had beer, we took advantage of it. And then we proceeded to get burned as hell laying around in the sun all day. Everyone except for the ginger, Bombearo, who apparently thinks sunscreen is important? We talked to 3 people from Utah that had dingied in from a moored sailboat. They had flown down to Matzalan and bought boat, were sailing back north where they would take the boat out and trailer back to Utah.



J didn't bring the flyrod all this way for nuthin!  Look at this monster......a finespotted jawfish




We ripped the black trail back to Hotel Serinidad and had a marg and swim. Bill the local drinker informed us of a good place to eat that was running a chile rellano night. In! One of my only painful get offs would occur on the night ride back to the hotel, a sandy corner, darkness, shorts/sandles and too many rellanos = one gash to the shin.
