What a difference a day makes....

shari - 10-14-2015 at 08:57 PM

a couple days ago we had a big swell...about 11-12', some rain, spectacular double rainbows, winds gusting to 30 knots...just a crazy storm. The colours and textures of the elements was awe inspiring.







the entire fleet of pangas was beached high and dry...not many lobsters this week




The only safe place to swim was out here at the blowhole and even it was exhilarating! Waves were smashing over the rocks in front and cascading over them into the blowhole pool.







here are a couple clips of the smashing waves

and the next day was pretty quiet...blowhole'n it at high tide is a blast.



how do you like me as a brunette?


In other Asuncion news...the Pemex has opened up it's store and it has a great selection of beverages...both types of beer...Pacifico, corona etc, and Tecate...and even has Sol!






Next new kid in town is a propane place...great news!

With all this crappy fishing weather, there is more pithaya picking going on.



Oh oh...Woody & his copilot just pulled into town...hasta luego amigos!

hopefully, the weather cooperates in the morning so we can chase tuna. either way, we brought a marinated tri-tip to BBQ for afterwards at the blowhole.

surfed Pta Loma this morning with head high waves and tropical conditions.

shari - 10-16-2015 at 08:22 AM

all are welcome for the gathering of the forces this afternoon at the blowhole here in Asuncion...bring some grub and beverages and let the fun flow! Bring a bathing costume if you are up for a dip too.

Glad you finally made it, Bob & Bia!
You'll probably run into Rossman, our renter one day, or better yet...stop by the house for a couple of beers. Tell him Udo & Jana sent you!
