Take The Time To Take Time Off

Take The Time to Take Time Off
By vmstevo

Mountainous terrain of greens and browns jaggedly approach the ocean. Dark blue water that bleeds turquoise as the twin screws kick in. Headed west out from Los Suenos marina passing ancient volcanic structures emerging out of the water like huge titans, teeming with foliage and wildlife. Two hours out, the Captain releases the outriggers as Mainor and Alberto finish the bait prep of rigged ballyhoo, blue runners and split tail mullet. 78 degrees, a fair wind from the South, massive rolling waves we mull over as we troll the Pacific. A shock of broken dialect excites even those still sleepy from the night before as they are awakened by a 130lb Sailfish, in the boat, pictures taken, released, repeat.

Fourteen sailfish and a dorado later, the Captain signals it’s time to head back. Cocktails in hand, forward looking to marinating poolside as we survived to fish yet another day. Complete relaxation, reset and highly recommended.
