July 25, 2009  Saturday morning …… Went out fishing yesterday and caught 1 sea bass. It rained off and on most of the morning. Cleared off and was sunny and hot for the afternoon. Going to go out and fish for a while this morning again and hopefully catch a snook. I could really use a good feed of snook. If the weather is good I hope to run up to Moyas and get some more of my stuff. Then maybe go up and fill fuel in Colorado.  I only get fuel in Tortuguero when I have no other options. It is more expensive and there barrels have “rust” in them. I’m not sure how you get rust from a plastic barrel but they do. I filled there once last year and there was a cup full of crud in the bottom of the pail. This would have been in my tank if I hadn’t stopped him and took over the “filling” process. Just had a feeling and I was right. One of my fears is to be stranded in a back canal approaching dark. This is another good reason to stay on the bigger canals/river when it gets on in the day.

Update 6:00 putting in time till 7 and then will try skpe and talk with Marina. They were out of fuel in Tortuguero so if there is no rain I am off to Colorado and fill my fuel cans and fish Barradda and Samai on the way back. Coco is going with me to interpret and maybe can get some visiting with Moya.

It is hard to explain how incredibly beautiful the canals are.  As long as your not caught out in a downpour and even then you just get wet, this land is beyond beauty. There is not great fishing a lot of the time but it is always beautiful.
