Leaving Pedregal, the port of David at the pacific coast, we
4
traveled for about an hour through the mangroves towards the Pacific.
5
You can cleary see that it was low tide.
6
Many muddy rivers.

This picture gives a good impression of the landscape, still miles away from the ocean.
8
There is hardly anybody with the exception of some local fishermen.
9
The captain (Cappy) had to keep a sharp eye on the depth.
10
At the back, in the center, you see Volcan Baru.
We live halfway on the left slope.

Fernando and me.

Myself, with the help of the captain, grilled the Madoera marinated porc chops,

36

and served them in a floating tupperware to Fernando and the ladies in the ocean.
64
They liked it !
37
Fernando promised us dolphins.
38
And there they were.
38
Just in front of the bow they swam with the utmost ease.
39
Every 2 minutes, they come up and breath hard throught that hole on their back.
40
You can see the water was cristal clear.
43
These two stayed with us till.........
49
we got close to the main land.
45
And, all of the sudden one went left and
46
one went right and both disappeared into the vast ocean.
47
After the dolphin emotion Sandra fed everybody with her Waldorf salad.
48
Without grapes, because I forgot to buy them the day before.
50
Then, after a beautiful day a very quite tropical evening set in and we all prepaired for a quite ride through the mangroves back to Pedregal.
51
But we had to rescue a liitle fishermen's boat that set in the middle of the water with polluted fuel.
52
We towed it till their rescuer came with fresh fuel.
53
Everybody settled in to enjoy a beautiful and spectacular sunset.
5455
56
Just enjoy the show of nature.
57
Every color of the rainbow was thrown at us.
58
Every 5 minutes the view was totally different.

And, off course, Fernando, had all his girls taking care of him. :-)

It was a great day,

¡ GRACIAS Fernando !
