Happy Easter to all my Frenzy Friends and "Family"!!!!!
Today I'll start with the fishing report from yesterday as I didn't get a chance to post last night. One of the reasons we enjoy having our crew is how hard they work to please the customer. As I reported earlier, the off shore fishing near Quepos has been very slow. Jose has been talking to many of his connections and there was a report of blue water about 40 miles off-shore that seemed to be holding some fish. Jose consulted with the clients and they were willing to take the chance and make the long run knowing it could be "hero or zero". Well, it was the former in this case. They had something like 18 bites. They landed 7 sailfish and one Mahi. They had a triple on with two sailfish and the Mahi and landed all three. Today they will switch and try the in-shore fishing.
Our day yesterday, began with some of Lisa's relatives coming to say good-bye. We had a small troop of the spider monkeys come right to the deck to entertain us. The iguanas were posing for pictures and of course the birds are constantly telling us what they think of us. I found out Jenny was trying to find a sloth on her last trip here and we had the good fortune of having one in the tree right next to the pool all day. We have had the most wonderful vacation at Casa Carolina thanks to the Southern hospitality of my dear friends, Jenny and Jamie Walker.
We finished our last evening in Costa Rica with dinner at El Avion. Jose brought us some of the Mahi they caught today we had it for appetizer. We were joined with the entire Crew of the Frenzy with wives, girl friends, and kids for our end of the season Fiesta. Olivia was in heaven getting to see Marco and Rudy once again. She, of course, is now more than ever determined to move here. Ian has two Costa Rican girlfriends. Rachel, Jose's daughter, and Monserat, Willy's daughter. I asked him who he liked better and he told me "I like em' both Dad". Jeff calls Ian the "Lady Killer" and I guess now I know why. Jose and his wife Jenny, brought the new baby Joseph as Lisa has not seen him yet and everyone teased her and called her grandma in Spanish. Willy kept us in tears with his jokes and cut-ups. Such an evening with "family" makes it all the harder to leave.
Today we will head home to the Great NorthWet as I call it. As we work through the summer, I'll keep you up to date on happenings with the Steffen part of the Frenzy family. I'm still working on Lisa to bring the kids back in June since the weather in Washington doesn't get nice until mid July. We are all excited for the new boat and can't wait to once again see all our many Frenzy Friends and "Family" from South Carolina and Costa Rica.
