My fishing family...

My brother Werner

(one of my 4 brothers I have and love)

lives full time in Cabo with his beautiful and sweet wife Dana.

My sister Evelyne

(one of my 2 sisters I have and love)

spends 4 months of the year there with her husband Richard.

Many of their friends all have winter homes in Cabo.

Fishing is high on their list of fun things to do.

Just look at what Richard reeled in and Ev's

story that goes with it!

410 lb Marlin. Now this is a true fish story!,

 

 

This is from Ev,

Hi Guys

Just had to send these photos. We were out on Matt's boat today and we caught a striped marlin, lost a sailfish then Richard caught a 400 + or minus 5 lb. black Marlin. Took about 1 1/2 hrs to bring in and right when he was at the boat, we are pretty sure he got hit by a shark and then went into the prop. Unfortunately it killed the fish, which we would have released but I guess there will be a lot of families eating Marlin tonite. He is about 9 feet long and 5 feet around the middle. Lots of good fish! Great day and wish you were all here!

Smoke is still here..

It is difficult to go outside

and exert any energy with all the smoke that is still in the air.

So there is a lack opportunity of taking good photos.

Happily,

It was Werner and Dana's 2nd anniversary.

She is totally lovely!

Flowers from our time out and walk last week.

Loving this little camper.

Waiting for a table at Lake Breeze Winery.

No power today from 9-2 while they work

on our compressor station.

Definitely time to get outside once again,

smokey skies and all.

Lunch out at Lake Breeze Winery..

Beautiful clear skies,

perfect summertime temperature.

Some wine tasting, a wonderful lunch as well as a great drive.

Happy Birthday to my favourite brother Werner

in Cabo!

Love you and your new look!

Dakar Rally 2015

My brother Werner is in Argentina at the moment.

This will be his 2nd Dakar Rally.

Werner drives the support truck for Matt Campbell's

"El Martillo" team.

What an amazing adventure this is for him.

The Latin American countries are just crazy for rally racing.

We are lucky that when we are in Panama we get to see lots of the coverage.

Another reason to learn Spanish more quickly.

We will be following their car #356 very closely.

The TV crews only show the top 5,

but just to complete the 9,000 km is such an accomplishment!

Good luck and safe driving to the entire crew.

Keep safe Werner!

I know his wife Dana will be missing him

and following his journey closely.

The official website is www.dakar.com

Matt's crew is listed under competitors.

Car #356

It will be exciting to watch them race.

Dakar "El Martillo Racing Team"

Over the past two weeks we have watched

"The Dakar Rally"

with great interest.

My brother Werner is part of the support team for

"El Martillo Racing Team"

This rookie team was the only North Americian team left in the race.

Over 9500 km!

Once held in Africa, it was moved several years ago because of the dangerous

problems due to kidnapping.

Now held in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, this is one tough race.

They made it, what an amazing adventure this had been.

We had the opportunity to meet Matt and his wife Melanie when they came to

Werner and Dana's wedding in August.

Dana and several of the wives were able to share this trip as well.

We are so proud of their wonderful accomplishment! We have cheered you along at every stage!

Well done Matt and your entire team!
