Continuing on...
Returning to the mothership for lunch.
Other stuff worth catching: Jack and Max of the NY group with (L->R) a cabrilla, a golden cabrilla and a pargo.
Getting ready for an afternoon dive.
After a dive: Eric with a lobster. The rock scallops in the foreground are mine and were collected in ~ 20 minutes. The chef grilled Eric's lobster with garlic and butter for him that night. I saved my scallops for 3 dives and Pancho cooked teriyaki scallop appetizers for everyone.
FRESH sashimi appetizer (yellow tail and cabrilla only and hour out of the water)
Sunset on the Cortez.
Our charter master brought 2x4's and plywood on the trip to make a "fillet table" for the crew.
This is what we actually used the fillet table for. We had a thousand or so golf balls that we brought with us. The drivers were lost enroute but we had a 9 & 5 iron with us. We call this game "Chipping for Pangas".
At night we took pot shots at the sister ship which was anchored a couple of hundred yards away. (Ummm... there may have been alcohol involved in this incident...)
