So the day started out not looking like we were going to have the best of luck today. This was the only port on the cruise that we have to use a tender at. Because of this and the fact that we got the okay from the Mexican officials about and hour later than we should, we ended up only having 5 hours to spend in Cabo.
We had scheduled to go parasailing but we were an hour late to get to our scheduled time. When we did get there they had just canceled the boat for the day because of wind. We were bummed!
So we decided to take a fishing boat out to fish and whale watch for a few hours.
Look at this beautiful shot I got!!!
We were all bummed to not be going parasailing. But I figure we can probably do that at one of our other ports to make up for missing today.
The kids all love seeing the sea lions and pelicans.
We were thrilled to actually get to see some WHALES!!! Whoa it was awesome!
It ended up being a chilly day. We saw a shark, dolphins, whales and a marlin fish.
Then the craziest thing happened....
Our bad luck day turned in to a day we will all never forget!!! You know the marlin fish we saw. Oh yeah we caught it!!!!
It was insane! It was extremely hard to reel in. We each took turned working to reel it in. Oscar, our captain, was awesome and made sure each kid had several turns.
It ended up taking over 30 minutes to get the Striped marlin on to the boat. Wow talk about a work out!!!
It was such a high!!
We ended the crazy day catching an
8 foot, 130 pound Striped Marlin!
How's that for luck huh?!?
I would gladly do this day over again!!
