Humboldts catch a break

About a week ago local fishermen began to pull in some nice squid here in Palmas bay. The co-op or some enterprising young man called the squid buyers and they now have an 18 wheeler semi full of ice on a hard spot in the sand on our beach. They are paying 40 pesos a kilo so our guys can make a killing if they can get their pangas out.

They were not happy campers when I showed them the local weather picture with the northers all this week -- they'll be home in their hammocks while the ice melts. Makes up in a tiny way for the bizzillions that have been caught near St. Rosalia year after year to satisfy the cat food market.
