Baja? Cold?
Each winter when I get chilly in Baja, it always reminds me of fishing out of a resort near Guaymas in 1974. 'Hotel Playa de Cortez' I think it was.
It was a bit too cold & windy to go fishing, so I was sitting in a comfy chair in front of the bar fireplace, further warming myself with a hot
brandy.
On the table next to me was a pile of notes & fishing reports from fishermen that spanned 30 years and more. Great bits of history and triumphs
on the water. I read through several..enjoying the reports like these, 'Aug, 1947, caught 2 marlin, 4 sailfish, wonderful day on the water',...
'broke off the biggest fish I've ever seen!'...'4 roosterfish on 18lb test'..'Jorge is the best skipper,'...etc, etc..
Then I picked one that read, " Snow getting deeper, wolves drawing closer...fear navigator drinks."
I grinned and could only imagine how cold that fisherman thought it was...probably from Needles or Pheonix? Cypress - 12-21-2013 at 02:21 PM
75 degrees on the bayou. Got a couple of young wood ducks for din-din. Life is good.
