The Swine Flu and Other Happenings
This is quite the scare. The Ryndam cruise ship that was coming in to Guaymas this week and the calimari festival have both been cancelled. You see some people wearing masks and most people are staying home and avoiding crowds. Some folks who were planning on going elsewhere for the summer months are departing earlier than planned. Luckily we do not know of anyone in our area who has contracted this. Except....Shelly had the flu at the end of March and we are wondering if she didn't have this? She obtained antibiotics early on but still has a slight cough, who knows....
PJ came back from the States in late March with an ATV so we have been having fun riding this.
We have been going out in the boat and one day last week we spotted these fishermen. Their net holes are big enough to allow smaller fish to escape. We watched them pull in at least 40 two-three foot yellowtail.
We decided one of the best and safest places to be with the swine flu epidemic is on the water so we slept on the boat in a slip in the harbor last night and went out today. Though we didn't catch any fish (a few Dorado have been caught recently and the water is getting warmer), we did see a lot of life. Three separate pods of gray whales
and hundreds of dolphins (Risso and Common).
This is a Gila Woodpecker who wakes us up every morning by tapping on the steel support beams of our trailer shade structure trying to attract a mate. This is the nest he is building (we guess he is pretty confident about his prospects).
This unfortunate accident is a result of birds building nests in these same steel support beams. This is the second egg we have found that has dropped the distance of 18'.
