NEW YEAR!

We made it!!! A brand new year~~~I hope this proves to be a great year for everyone. I am told that I look pretty tan~~boating in the sun will do it every time.



On New Year’s eve morning, a bunch of us leaped into our zodiacs and motored out to the middle of the Bay of Conception looking for the top of a submerged hill referred to as a submerged rock. One of the boats had a GPS and the co-ordinates. When we arrived at said point, there was a fisherman anchored on the rock. Most of us (5 boats) did not see the submerged rock even though the fisherman finally left (we were probably scaring the fish away).
Bob and I then ‘buzzed’ over to some rocky shell beaches.
I pickup not only shells in good condition but broken and/or holey shells which I can string and then hang on our palapa. I put beads randomly between shells; it looks quite lovely!! Bob gets disgusted that I pick up so many broken shells. It’s been said that I go for tonnage (quantity instead of quality).

We had another potluck on New Year’s day attended by over 60 people followed by a pinata. Bob finally got in a good day of sailing!!! Our neighbor, bird Gary, took photos with his telephoto lens.

We have just come off of a two-day blow (very high winds in afternoon) so we went yesterday to a beach that gets lots of shells. Bob hit the jackpot with ‘bubbles’ and made a necklace out of the larger ones. Looks lovely, don’t you think?
