Bear and I are used to loading first into the Panga – to act as ballast and help with planeing. Chino and me in deep Spanglish conversation as we wait for the others.

Chino wiggled us through some rocks and we saw a beach with – surprise – the sleeping masses.

As we drew closer the man in charge leapt up and began growling and barking.

He woke some of the little ones who took to the water.

We passed a barren vista and headed back.
