Hey, Don, stop at the San Carlos Marina, Barracuda Bob's and say hi to Jan Rains, the owner. Jan is a very long time friend and an amazingly warm and generous person. She has been in SC for about 11 years and really is connected to it. Say hi from Ralph & Marianne from Portland.

Enjoy that wonderful place! And ride up to the fish camps at La Manga for some really good food!

I'm very jealous and would love to accompany you on this little sojourn. I'm sure your friends have hooked up with a great Realtor but if not, I have several that I have been talking to and am pleased with them. Good luck to them on their home hunt, prices should have come down in the past year to more reasonable levels. Some very nice areas there.

Have a fantastic time, and we'll be expecting a photo of you with a gorgeous señorita on your lap.

(And Skooter -in a dress- won't do.)

How was the fishing Don? Glad you all had a great trip. Do you have some photos to share? Bruce

Hola Bruce, We went out on a four hour combination excursion with Gary's Boats; wildlife excursion, fishing and snorkeling. We trolled out two long lines with jigs for Dorado, but did not catch one. But, they were catching Dorado on the Gary's 10 hour fishing only excursion, but they were having to go out 20 miles to hook up Dorado.

I'm delivering my camera photo disk to Brian today, and he'll post up our photos. I'll write up a Forum Ride Report!
