Bahia Santa MariaThe second leg of the journey was another overnight, and the highlight of this leg was catching and eating a 10-lb. Yellowtail tuna. Scott hooked him, Scott and Bill reeled him in and Bill performed a magnificient fillet (with a brand new fillet knife), Chris made an amazing cerviche and we grilled 5 succulent portions for dinner that night. (Have I mentioned that we ate VERY well aboard? I am also including a photo of my special goat cheese stuffed peppers, which were served with Scott's spectacular oven baked swordfish....Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!).
We pulled into the second stop on our voyage at midnight, dropped the anchor and dropped like rocks into deep slumber.
The next day was all about getting the boat cleaned up and ready for company, and for our friends and crew, it was an opportunity to enjoy a singles-only on a raft up party of three boats that went well into the wee hours of the morning. Bill and I enjoyed some quiet time by ourselves, watched the movie Seabiscuit and cried like babies over this touching story (as usual…).
The following morning we relaxed a bit to get ready for a beach party on the bluffs at Bahia Santa Maria. Typically, this Bay is vacant. There is no town, only a few “casitas” which are used for large boating parties such as ourselves. That afternoon, the shrimp and fish dinners were cooked on the spot and served nearly 600 people. And with only one three-burner stove to create the meals, the food line lasted from noon until well just before dusk. Good thing we spied a lady nearby selling freshly made tomales from a cooler. Yummmm!!! The day ended with a live band and lots of merrymaking for all.
