November 2022

Any time we can get a chance to get out on the water, we go. This was a Shelby day.  The waters were calm and a perfect day to just hang out on the water a little while and see if we could get a fish to bit.  We usually always take a fishing rod along but we are no match to the mate on the Sum Beach, Flaco.  Flaco hauled in a huge mahi and shared his expertise at making fish balls on the grill.   All I can say is melt in your mouth good!
We continue to enjoy hanging out at the Hole with all our friends.  This day we caught the eels in the rocks and Dee brought along chicken hawk and caught these spectacular views of the Hole, the area, and our friends boat The Solution leaving the The Hole.  
Sometimes on a beautiful calm morning, we just take Journey out to float in the calm waters and drink our coffee.  This was one of those special mornings when we could just float and take in the scenery.
We celebrated Dee’s birthday in Mexico with a Carrot cake and a few friends.  Of course, singing a round of Happy Birthday.  Anyone who sang received Cake!  We also took off on Metallica to explore Tulum and has it changed since we last visited in 2017.  So grown up and full of so much traffic.  We explored the coastline and took some great pictures.  We also road up to a little community Macario Gómez and walked around the little community.  We headed back to Tulum to try and spend the night but this is when we learned that I booked the wrong day.  OPPS!  But they were gracious and didn’t charge us.
Next Birthday was Cathy’s birthday, and we celebrated with a day on the beach and an afternoon out on Journey.  The last birthday in November was Landon’s which of course we celebrated at Tradewinds with a Modelo Cake and lots of Modelo to drink.
All our friends joined us at Lattitudes and Landon supplied the fish to have a farewell dinner before we head home for the holidays.  We will miss all our friends.
