HAPPY! HAPPY! I am so very happy! Songbirds are singing…dolphins are frolicking and all is right in the world because today I am writing you from my back patio at Laguna Shores with the ocean to the west, a storm brewing in the east and I am in my pajamas with a sweater on! Hallelujah! I am taking a chance and saying the weather has turned. It tricked me a couple weeks ago, but I think after this storm passes we will come up smelling like carne asada tacos and margaritas at midnight. What a glorious life! Don’t you just love that smell as you drive through town? I remember coming to Puerto Peñasco as a tourist many, many years ago: I always arrived late coming in from California and I just couldn’t wait to drive through town and smell all of the taco stands cooking. Even though the town is much larger now and most of the streets are paved, that smell is still present if you drive down the street in the wee hours of the morn.

Each spring I look forward to the water in the Sea of Cortez warming up, it improves the fly fishing. Usually by the Fourth of July most Americans start to taper off visiting Puerto Peñasco, Mexico and they don’t start again until Labor Day. The fly fishing is good enough to keep me coming back all summer long, but one must endure some discomforts. Your glasses will steam up when you step out of the air conditioning. You will be excessively moist, I was concerned that my cell phone would get so wet it would short out, and I thought my dirty laundry would surely combust on the drive home. If you are not careful your seat belt buckle could give you a branding iron like mark. I am not willing to talk about skin rash issues, because I am really not complaining. One good thing about the heat, it does give me a good excuse to visit the Thrifty Ice Cream store.

You Oughta see an Otter

Wouldn’t it be nice to look out your Rocky Point window and see Sea Otters playing and swimming in our waters? Well, at one time they were in the Sea of Cortez along the Baja Peninsula. After all Rocky Point has everything a sea otter could want. They would enjoy our Warm Water, and Abundant favorite foods in Scallops, Clams, Crab, Flounder and Shrimp as well as the peaceful calm water. But, then comes along man and ruins it.
