Fall Report from beautiful Bahia Asuncion
The big news around town is the female humpback whale that washed up on Pig Beach the first week of November. Pretty much the whole town came out to
see it, many of whom had never seen a whale close up before. Lucky for me it is far enough away I cant smell it but the air is ripe a few blocks away.
The king tides placed it up by the arch so picnicking there is out of the question these days.
Fishing has been good and the yellowtail are putting on the pounds now with lots of fish in the 30-40lb range. But the kazillion bonita everywhere
& the hungry sea lions make it a tough go some days. The ladies have been catching the biguns.....
No covid cases here that I know of and most are social distancing and wearing masks in stores. We have had a steady flow of guests visit Asuncion to
surf & fish & had no problems at all getting here.
Most had tests before they came down and social distance on their own patios at the Inn.
Our guests are respectful and get their temps taken, gel treatment, footmats & offered masks.
my daughter Sirena & Baja Gyspsy have been feeding our guests at La Bufadora Inn so they dont have to go out to eat. Naturally lobster is on the
menu as well as melt in your mouth pulpo in cream of chipotle sauce, shrimp salads, gourmet pizza etc. Guests are also enjoying massages & facials
by our amiga Topacio.
Cruising season had begun so we are getting sailors on their way south who stop in to Bahia Asuncion to rest, get some shore time in, fuel up,
provision and have a meal & beverages on our patio! They have some great stories to share!
It's lobster season so the village is prospering and tourism is leaving some much needed economic boost too. Come on down, spread some pesos
around....the waters fine.....Life is good in paradise!

Looking lively in B. A.!
Are the bonita too small to be any fun? A few years back I remember picking up some pretty big ones just outside the island.
If they are the kind with teeth, which my friends call "sashimi bonito," they are definitely good eating.

there are huge bonito....great for sashimi, tuna salad and of course smoking.
Anglers are having a tough time some days as they reel in a few bonita for every yellowtail.f

Highly recommend those cooks and waitresses mask up!

What to do with the whale?
Shari, thanks for the hospitality and letting me pick your brain about Bahia Asuncion last week!
By the way, that whale was so ripe, that the onshore breeze carried the odor as far as your campground (Campo Sirena) Sunday night! It wasn't very
strong that far away, but since I had been over by the carcass earlier, I could recognize the smell.
Here is how they handled the problem in Oregon once upon a time; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPuaSY0cMK8&feature=emb_...

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
