TAKEN BY STORM
This week started right where last week left off with
outstanding fishing. Limits of yellowfin tuna were
almost a slam dunk as was picking off a billfish or
two on our way in from the tuna grounds.
Saturday started out like most other days with calm
seas and a gorgeous sunrise. Our fishermen had all
the tuna they wanted from the previous day so we
just ran a short way and plunked in the marlin lures
to target billfish. We had only been trolling a few
minutes when I watched a water spout form before
my eyes. Over the years we have seen several water
spouts but I have never been this close to one or
actually witnessed one coming together. It lasted for
several minutes and poof was gone.
Shortly after the waterspout dissipated we found
ourselves in a severe thunder storm with torrential
rain. The sound of thunder over our heads was
deafening. The storm passed quickly leaving Diego
and myself drenched in the bridge. A few minutes
later a beautiful rainbow appeared.
The effect of this odd tropical weather was to shut
down the great bite. All of a sudden bait is tough to
come by, we are not seeing tailing billfish and tuna
fishing has been a scratch. This is the third day of
tough fishing and I can hardly wait for it to get back
to normal.
Stormy weather has effected more than just the
fishing. Rene Marin worked for us 2 1/2 years as a
scuba instructor and guide before moving to Cabo
San Lucas. He always did an outstanding job and I
was sad to see him move on.
Friday afternoon I received a call from his girl friend
Gabby in a panic asking for our help. She said under
tough weather conditions Rene had taken a tour
scuba diving to Gordo banks and had been missing
since 11AM along with 4 other divers. I called
everyone we know in Cabo that could possibly help.
The Navy was notified and started a search as did a
few of the independent dive shops.
Just before dark we received a report that some of
their gear had been recovered but no divers. As
darkness set in the situation was looking pretty grim.
Jen and I tossed and turned all night until about 3:30
when we received a call from Gabby that Rene was
OK. He along with the other divers being in the water
for more than 14 hours were able to swim to shore. I
know it was Rene's leadership and competence that
saved them all.
