Mobula Manta Rays!!! We were in Puerto Escondido and this school of Ray’s swam by Sea Bella. I jumped in the dinghy as was entertained for an hour watching them leap from the water. Back flips, front flips and tall leaps only to land with huge slaps.
Thousands under the boat! I thought they would jump right into the dinghy. These are plankton feeders.
The other night, 3 local young fishermen in an old Panga boat came to our boat to sell huge clams, $1 each, $20 pesos. So, I made my first clam chowder, with stock from a snapper Scott caught spearfishing and homemade sourdough bread. This made us a few yummy dinners. Finding little markets are a few weeks apart, so good planning and provisioning is very important.
