Margarita Night

March 18
The days do blend together and there is a routine that has developed now that we are in the Sea of Cortez. Mornings are for a on-shore hike before the day heats up, then a snorkel from the shore or from a skiff. Afternoon is for raising anchor and a lazy wander in search of whales. Blue whales are long and majestic. Today's wander is now over and we are stationary with the engines off, miles from shore. It is margarita night on the back deck followed by some amusimg John Pryne songs off Charles' laptop. After dinner, the sea is dark and full of mysteries - a squid briefly comes to the surface off one side and later a softly glowing something floats nearby,  below the surface - UFO. Soon we are underway and many of us are on the bow, looking at bio-luminescence in the wake. All day long we had seen balls of little bait fish, boiling the surface of the water. Now we run through those fish and they flee the boat's wake in glowing clouds. Magic and mystery.

  2. Appropriate music. John Prine is dark and mysterious sometimes too.
