Visits
- 2002-01-02: Barbara and I hired Juacho to drive us out to the island. Very interesting island. Juacho drove the boat in his underwear, and we saw whales that were much bigger than the boat. Near the island, we fished a bit, and I caught a hard fighting bonito and a yellowtail. We made ceviche with the bonito.
