A Leisurely Look at Isla del Carmen<\/p><\/div>\n

Well it seemed like time to give thanks and so Leif and Susan and John and Ruth and I paddled down to the Vista al Mar, at Notr\u00ed, just over an hour from our beach. \u00a0The weather was perfect too, though there were some little swells left over from recent winds. \u00a0I ordered my usual fish tacos, and the other fellows had the near-obligatory clams (linguistically-challenged neighbors insist on calling this place The Clam Shack). \u00a0We had passed at least one clam diver on our trip down, and while we were there a second emerged from the water with two more big bags of the famous bivalves. \u00a0The ladies had eggs, as it still seemed pretty breakfasty when we arrived.<\/p>\n

This was the first trip here for all of us this season and I didn’t recognize the friendly young servers, but the view, at least beyond the immediate landscaping, was familiar. Ruth and John are kinder to their boats than we are and landed them on a sandier beach slightly further south, a gift from the autumn storms.<\/p>\n

So thankful were we that it was a while before we remembered that the morning calm would not last forever. \u00a0On our way back, a school of little fish jumped right across Ruth’s foredeck, making a terrible racket. \u00a0Then, they did it again. \u00a0At Bird Rock we counted, among the cormorants, four Blue-footed Boobies. \u00a0There is a colony of boobies now on the big rock at Nopol\u00f3, just below where the ravens had their nest last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
