every country uses different methods of doing things. in mexico, the use a bulldozer to get the boat in and out of the water.

last night when i got here, everybody was telling us, “there are no sharks in mexico!” then as we crossed the channel this morning, we see Jaws! check out how huge this fin is sticking out of the water! the shark turns and heads straight for our boat. i stick my camera underwater and miss the shot. amateur! but it was cool seeing a big aggressive shark greeting us bright and early.

not bad for a day huh? in mexico, you need a license to spear fish. and they set a limit of 5 fish per day. i think that’s a wonderful rule!

we get back with our catch, the mexican boys help offload, then filet the fish right there on the beach. then we will eat it tonight for dinner. fresh dinner, fresh life!
