first of all, want to wish everyone a Happy Tuna Day! no turkey here in mexico so tuna is what we’re eating. another awesome day here! just enjoying life and enjoying time in the nature. it’s one of the first times i missed thanksgiving dinner with my family. thank goodness they support my life, passion, and dreams. i’m sure everyone will be happy when i bring back all the fresh tuna from mexico! but as you can see in this photo today, i’m a very lucky and happy man!

our hosts David and Lisa, with the help of Kyle, prepared a wonderful dinner for us last night.

and David was nice enough to give me some beers. i actually tried to walk in the dark to the store a few blocks away but felt like i was going to get attacked by a street dog. so i turned around and ran back home.

i’ve never had so much fresh tuna in a while. it gets better and better by the day! it’s unbelievable that this tuna was swimming right in front of me a day before. crazy!

David’s hand roll sushi. so good!

want to congratulate my roommate Jonathan for spearing this monster tuna today. the story on getting this one is hilarious. but hey, so long as it’s in the boat right?
anyway, hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving weekend. tomorrow will be my last diving day of this trip. looking forward to an awesome day. i just hope that yellow submarine passes by me again. yeah, the biggest yellowfin tuna ever crossed my path today. when i seen it, by body and finger froze. i just watched it swim right by me with my mouth open wide 60′ deep. it will be an image i will never forget. no regrets. just will never ever let that chance pass me by again. next time, it’s sashimi for everyone! good night!

Day 2: Punta Mita
Wicked Tuna!

borrowed the little car and took a day trip to Sayulita. first time for me driving in mexico. kind of dangerous because there are speed bumps everywhere! and they just pop out of nowhere. imagine driving on the freeway and all of a sudden there is a gigantic speed bump? no signs or no warnings. you just have to watch. it’s to keep people from speeding and it works because i didn’t speed at all today. there were a total of 32 speed bumps from punta mita to sayulita. crazy!

if we had a wave like this in hawaii, it would be wonderful. so easy and so perfect for long boarding.

bike, car, golf cart, or horse. what ever works.

if i was living in america, i would come here during the winter months. sitting under an umbrella sipping on ice cold beers watching the waves? that’s paradise!

cool jewelry here too. if i was a girl, i’d be in heaven.

want a drink?

Sayulita super surf town. a cheap paradise vacation.

i wish i could buy one of these and take it back to hawaii.

went to check out this cool glass blowing shop. unique pieces of art.
