The little village of Ipala. |
Another shot of Ipala. That's the whole town. |
|
Kids from Ipala boogie board out to the anchored boats to ask for pencils and other school supplies. |
Unhooking a puffer-fish the boys caught in Ipala. |
The puffer released. The kids kept catching these, so we had to put a ban on fishing here. |
Gage reading! He just suddenly started reading as if he likes it. |
Anchoring a little too close... the guy on the right decided to move a little further away after a few minutes. |
Eric and Kelsey making their way over to Trinity after coming into Ipala. |
Tubing over. It's a rough life, but somebody's got to do it. |
A local panga fisherman (and restaurant owner) came by our boat the second day we were in Ipala to invite us into shore and his restaurant. He gave us a couple of coconuts and oysters for free. |
Cutting up the coconuts so that we can drink the juice. Yummy! |
Playing soccer with the local kids on the beach in Ipala. Our kids got tired early, but Steven ended up playing for a couple of hours. |
More soccer. |
A fisherman mending a net. |
|
A few signs for a very small town. |
Roma hiked up the hill with Melissa and snapped this shot of us playing. |
A shot of the anchorage from up top. |
|
This dog wouldn't leave Melissa alone. |
Trinity behind a rock and some sea birds. |
More soccer! The little boy kinda adopted Steven. He was a tough little guy. At one point, he hauled off and struck me in the nuts (because I could keep the soccer ball away from him). Francisco was his name. |
Eric playing tag with a couple of local guys. |
The Sula and Trinity Jr. crew. |
This little guy was a bit too small for the soccer game. All the kids like having their picture taken and then seeing their image on the digital camera. |
Whiskey! They say whiskey instead of cheese for taking a picture. |
Francisco. |
Eric and Francisco. Eric's hairy belly was fun! |
Mi amigos. |
Gage about to give up his precious soccer ball. We decided to leave the soccer ball ashore for these kids, and Gage had a tough time doing it, even though we had never used the ball before. Those are tears in his eyes. |
The lucky recipient with Gage. This little boy, Alesandro, was very good with the ball, and was really happy to have this ball given to him! |
This first (free) tequila shot was Steven's first ever! |
Follow with the lime... |
Arm wrestling Francisco. |
Another shot of Sula and Trinity out at anchor. |
Leif and Francisco arm wrestling. |
Sunrise leaving Ipala for Chamela. |
Roma being artsy with the sunrise. |
An actually cool shot. |
The little dorado we caught. This one had to go back, too small... |
About to release the dorado. |
