Surrounded by Dolphins, UMAR Huatulco International Relations Boat Trip 2019

Isaac and the International Relations arranged for another boat cruise this year and I was fortunate enough to be invited along.

Eric missed the departure time so the crew of Hermano Zorro delivered him and his Endgame cup  with their own water taxi.  Outstanding service! 

There's the three lucky representatives of the English Department; myself, William and Diego.

Isaac caught the first nibble but it got away.

No one loves catching fish more than William and, after last year's fishing frenzy, we all had high expectations of at least catching a few.  It didn't happen for us this time but that disappointment was royally compensated by the astonishing reason for the scarcity of bites.  We were surrounded by thousands of dolphins!

 

You can't compete with natural fishers like dolphins.

It was so amazing.  This was definitely one of those trips where you had to feel sorry for anyone who couldn't make it.  Thanks Isaac. 

International Relations Boat Trip 2018

Last Saturday I tagged along with Isaac and some of his International Relations students for a boat cruise to Playa Organo.  We set off before the sunrise.  Everyone was in high spirits.

Will brought along his cerviche ingredients just in case we caught a fish.  You never know.

How about that?  The first fish of the day and it's still early.

The boat, Hermano Zorro, was a huge double decker catamaran with enough space for five times more people than we had.  We felt special.

We saw a whale!



There he is again.

And again.

The fish kept coming.

Some of the daredevils on board, jumped off this platform on the second level.

It was too high for me.

Even the lower level offered a substantial jump.

Playa Organo.

 We're back where it all began.
 

It was a serious fun day we won't forget.  Thanks again to Isaac for organizing the trip and making everybody happy.
