Day 4 Nov. 23



Today was a Fishing day. We left at 6:30 and were just out of the bay as the sun rose. We trolled down the coast, cooking alive in the relentless sun. After an hour or so we got a strike and soon my dad had caught a 6 kilo dorado (mahi mahi). About five minutes later I brought in another one, probably the first one's mate. This dorado was about 5 kilos. We continued down the coast until about 10:00 when we decided to turn around. On our way home I heard the wizzing as the line flew off of a reel, a half second later the sound doubled as another reel got a hit. Pandemonium ensued as Rob and my dad each tried to reel their fish in and I was dangling a line in the water hoping to get one of the 2 other dorados not already hooked that were circling the boat. Eventually we got back to the town with 4 fish. In the afternoon we went to Fito's house to eat some of the dorado for lunch. Fito is one of the fishermen we go out with. His wife had made tacos estylio ensenada with the catch. Bits of deepfried dorado with salsa, chopped cabbage and cream in a tortilla. It was delicious.
