Among locals, to carry a camera is not an usual thing. We are blessed with great waters not so far from home, and we do go out a lot, most of the times with no pics , having a camera handy is a rare event, and taking advantage of that situation we got some few shots of yesterday`s afternoon shootout.
The thermometer was hitting 40 C, 105º F, so Edgardo, Milton and I, went to "el aguaje" to get some real cold beer, as the thick spume of the beer was dripping from our moustaches:D We decided to go out to get some protein for a "zarandeado" party. Juan Manuel Marquez, boxing match was about to take place at night, and since Juan Ma is sparring for his next Paquiao match, he deserved to be honoured properly, so we got our stuff and headed pichilingue-bound (the internal beer gps was heading pichilingue ward, very accurately) At 4 pm we were already riding across the San Lorenzo to the near Island. At 4 : 05 I slipped into my shadow black pursuit sombra wetsuit. With a not so humble statement i`ll tell ya guys that I did look sharp on it and feeling even better as the cold water from the bottom struck me every time I hitted bottom at 60 ft (notice the black shadow , sombra pants at the feet of the first pic ;). The water was unusually murky and when I was still, my gun pointed at the entrance of a cave hoping for pargo or a sardinera, I saw some shadows coming my way, I was needing air already but I waited for a couple of secs more, two big goldens were patrolling in front of the herd, but they were too fast and i pointed at the biggest of the lesser ones following them. A perfect shot. We repeated this until we completed our 5 fishes max for each diver. We headed to the beach to fillet them for zarandeado and we stopped for a couple of pics for the record. Nothing real epic, nor heroic, just a regular afternoon among friends, great time though. At the end of the evening Juan ma K. 0ut sensless the poor sparring they matched against him in round 3. We got a real good time and continued to watch mma matches on strikeforce until very late at night. I hope someday you`ll join us for a barbaric mexican style afternoon.
Until then ...
