Day 2 - Chronicles of the Bay Crest Buddies in Boca Chica

Sunday was our first full day in Boca Chica and everyone was extremely excited....This was THE day we'd all been looking forward to! It was the first day of fishing in Panama!

Frank, Ken, Ray (not in the picture) and I were ready for breakfast at 6:30 and on the boat at 7:00AM!

It's pretty amazing the rock formations that line the coast of Panama! Not something we're used to when fishing in Stuart.

Frank taking a much deserved break after fighting and landing the biggest Dorado (mahi mahi or dolphin, depending on where you are) of the day....within the first 20 minutes of lines being in the water.

Captain Bruce said women are great fishermen...they are patient and listen to directions. :o)

More rocks.

The Three Amigos!

While traveling from one fishing spot to the next, we saw so many magnificent structures. Makes you wonder how many years it's taken to wear car-sized holes in the rocks.

Yes, you could say it was a good day of fishing, but we think it was a GREAT day!

Lupe, the wonderful cook at the resort, made the most delicious meal from the fish we caught. Not only did the fish we caught feed the 6 of us, but the other guests at the resort, the owners and employees as well as anyone who had stopped in. Talk about pressure!

Each night, the menu includes the 'Catch of the Day' and some other meat, just in case... When Lupe presented the options for the ways she could fix the fish, we couldn't select just one. So, she generously served our table family-style with a sampling of each: from lower left - garlic, lime; coconut battered; soy-teriyaki with fresh veggies; rice and beans along with the sweetest plantains (cooked to perfection in pineapple and her homemade jam). Needless to say, if anyone left the table hungry, it was their own fault!

We called it an early evening and headed off to bed for another early morning of fishing.
