"we traded these delicacies for an exquisite homemade meal, drinks and good company"

I had forgotten this nice event until Nancy reminded me of it over the weekend.  I think this occurred on February 6th and the 7th.

Late in the day on the 6th we were at the table on the front deck, and watched as a sailboat came from the south and anchored off Isla Gamez.  We watched their inflatable depart their vessel and went back to our cocktails.  About an hour later, four young nice looking people come walking up the path from the beach.

After introducing themselves (Brad, Chad, Tyler, and Nikki) related that they were on a trip around the world, and could they buy some rum.  Its hard to beat a trip around the world story, so we gave them what little was left from the prior weeks fishing charter, and off they went promising to return the next evening for dinner.

Return they did!  They brought oysters, two wonderful fish, coconuts, and a couple of lobsters.  We had a great meal and even better conversation listening to their adventure to date and plans for the months to follow.

We wish them well and will continue to follow their progress.  Great kids on a great adventure!
