What else!

When I'm not at work - which is most of the time - I try to do some of this...

what else...

I'm getting to see a lot of this... light patterns and movement on water.

Sometimes, a bit too much movement!

 We sailed into a storm. It was very choppy and I admit I was afraid!

But well worth weathering it out for this.

And this! The man caught "Manchado" - related to red snapper - in the dark.

 It was delicious!

I was thinking about those ocean skies. But can't decide if I prefer it like this...

Or like this??? 

Something started... that will probably just remain as another fragment of an idea. The sky needs more apricot. 

I grated some avocado pit.

Within seconds of being exposed to the air, it starts to turn that delicious marigold color.

I threw it in the pot with a few small scraps. I am not a patient cloth dyer.

I keep finding little scraps of fabric all over the house. I picked these three up today, and the coincidental arrangement was pleasing.

Any minute now, my eldest son, Eben, is going to arrive, and I haven't seen him for a whole year!

Gone fishing

We bought a little fishing boat and Fanier rebuilt her.

 After a few weeks of fiber glass work [and very sore fingers]...

We got the "Catherine Victoria" on the water.

Last weekend, we toured the Golfo Dulce. 

We found palm fringed deserted beaches where to disembark.

And shimmering, lopping waters of mangroves at high tide.

We came upon a school of dolphins...

And Nilo caught his first Baracuda.

Here he is!

It was a magical day!
