          Fish update: Blog reader and good friend Chuck left a comment on yesterdays post.  The fish I mentioned were not tuna but the fish are Jack Cravels, they are called Toros by the Mexicans, very dark red meat. The huge catch has been the talk of the Isla and many pangas [...]

Yesterday Colin came back, safe and sound!  No problems driving there and back, no security problems!
