At the end of our kayaking in Bahia Balandra, Alice began snooping for shells in the shallows near the beach. Then she spotted a school of long, slender silver fish swimming near three Angel fish! A quick trip to the dinghy and she was back in time to take pictures of 3 Angels and one silver fishy- see him?
A feeding frenzy of dolphins on their breakfast run was quite a sight one morning... They were just far enough away that even with her zoom lens Alice did not get a close-up photo. Some of them were really 'feeling their oats', as the farmers might say! Remember, this is a dolphin, NOT a fish...
We have spent time in the Sea of Cortez four different years and this is the first experience we have had with a whale shark! One was sighted in the bay during Loreto Fest and we did see his fins... When we were anchored in Bahia Concepcion, however, this big boy (15-20 feet long) came swimming by our bow!! Our friend Gina happened on him the next day while out in her dinghy and she cut the motor and drifted around him close enough to see into his mouth and she pronounced that he was toothless- wow!

Love the pictures. I've always wanted to swim with a whale shark, BECAUSE they are toothless. Happy 29th birthday to you Grampa bill. We all love and miss you.
