After 15 years in the lagoon, I still consider it an honor and privilege to work in one of God's paintings every day.  As a guide and naturalist it is a gift to be able to help educate and enlighten people about these wonderful giants whose domain we enter with their blessing.

We saw a lot of mating action and the "Pink Floyd' made its debut a couple times.  The mothers were still a little skittish about bringing baby up to the boat but everyone made contact and had a great time.  The camp had recently received its certification for being "Green" from the Mexican government and everyone was quite proud of this. As always, Catalina and Olga fed everyone like kings, and Maldo kept everyone smiling with his one of a kind personality.  All prejudice aside, I love working in this camp!



If I get two or three "Keeper photos" out of a trip I consider myself fortunate and this time we were returning late in the afternoon while the tide was out.  We had to "Rooster tail" the boats through shallow water and spotted a couple coyotes hunting near shore.  Suddenly there was a silver flash and I had a split second to get the shot of the coyote hauling an eel out of the sand.  This was a first for me and next season cannot come too soon.
