Early Morning Beached Pangas

DianaT - 8-10-2009 at 01:20 PM

Big swell kept the pangas in for a few days in Bahia Asuncion--











This one we want for our front yard! Think anyone would notice? :lol::lol:



And a photo of a lost dream.



Great to be back in Asuncion---skipped the surf tournament, but won't miss the other fiesta activities.

Your photos are really good. It would be fun to browse your photo site.

Sign says, land has been confiscated because owner has not been here recently. :lol::lol:

Seriously, they have put up signs in several places regarding the penalties for the unauthorized taking of abalone, lobster, etc. They are in Spanish and English. Problem is it apprears that they used a computer for translation so the English makes very little sense.

Diver, I just drove by that sign in front of your place and Diane must be mistaken.

I think you're gonna have to think about a 'setback' change.



.
Also....A huge billboard just outside of town was spray-painted with these notices.

Grim warning. Avoid this place. Stay away. Great White staging area. October is the worst month to visit. There are NO fish anywhere near Asuncion. If the sharks don't get you, the earthquakes will. Asuncion is populated by time share salesmen. Nobody sells Pacifico. The available Tecate is vintage and only sold in the old metal cans.

(Sorry about the little hijack, Diane..but the devil made me do it.)

Wonderful to see you back, Pompano !!!!

BTW, you're welcome to camp in our "Sneaker Wave Zone" anytime. :biggrin:

Must be using the Google Tool Bar translation feature. Gawd! Don't I know.

i thought this photo would fit in this panga thread...I LOVE our summer guests as many of them are families with awesome kids...these two have been having such a grand time, fishing, horseback riding, playing pollypockets with a gang of little girls from the barrio, boogie boarding...and of course climbing trees.

Good use for a beached panga, I would say! This is a really great place for kids.
