Back to Mexico!

I'm on break now!  I worked four weeks and they were all great, and now I have three weeks of freedom down on Aquila.  My friend Danny is already down there, so he's fixing everything up for me and I'll just step aboard a boat that is ready to go...  Hopefully.  

The last few weeks have been very beautiful.  Lots of birds and lots of great things to see.  The mountains are covered in snow still, and for the last few years this was less and less common, but this past winter had a big snowfall and its stuck around.  So everything is a bit delayed.  The mergansers are swimming around with their babies...

And the brown bears are eating the grasss...
And the orcas patrol the deep of course...
And South Sawyer is really pumping out ice, and the harbor seals are taking advantage of that to have their own babies.  So there are a lot of those babies out there too!
Here's an eagle drying its wings on top of the south sawyer glacier.

Hopefully! If this fantastic seafood bar wasn't at the top of the dock I'd probably have left without you already, but dang! These folks do seafood like champions! La Pesca in La Cruz, Nayarit, Mexico.
