Cruise Day 3--Cabo Wabo and Squid

On the way down, we had great sunrises from our room...

Heading in to Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday morning.
We rented a fishing boat for a half-day excursion. It was too rough to go out fishing for the big stuff, so we stuck close to the famous "keyhole" and were not disappointed.







Almost immediately we started getting hits. And it was constant.









What's Mary working so hard to bring in?













Squid. Lots of squid. About 20 at least.










Not the prettiest fish in the sea to say the least.








A good shot of the keyhole.





















We moved to the outside of the keyhole for a bit and right away a yellowfin tuna hit. Dave reeled it in and got intimate for a moment.




A shot of our cruise ship from the fishing boat.


We decided to take a break from fishing (the girls' arms were smoked; those squid were heavy!!) and went looking for whales. We saw one or two...alas not quick enough to get a picture. However, we also ran into a pod of dolphins who we kept up with for a bit. It was amazing.




































































Back on solid ground for a bit, we explored Cabo.

We decided to stop for a bite to eat at, of all places, El Squid Roe. We of course had calamari.
At left is a photo of our waiter, who made us our first (of quite a few) bowls of guacamole. This is where the cruise takes on its nickname "Guacamole Express". We ate it whenever we could in port.












Dave and Mary exploring the restaurant/bar.














Finally, we make it to the mecca of Cabo these days, Cabo Wabo Cantina.

















Back on the boat and leaving port.
