Feel free to explore around. Check out the private Villa's we are staying at.
You might have heard of Zihuatanejo from "The Shawshank Redemption". I have not tracked down Andy Dufrain yet, but don't think that is the only reason to visit this incredible part of the globe.
Jan 5, 2008 - We awoke this morning at 6:00 am, ate breakfast, and jumped aboard our private boat for a deep sea fishing adventure. Our captain, Fito, and co-captain, Barrie Brewer, took us 30 miles from the coast before our first fish hit. My adrenaline surged when one the reels on our outrigger started buzzing. BJ and Fito grabbed the pole and set the hook. It was great watching BJ bring in the 4' Mahi Mahi (our dinner). Moments later we had two more hits. I jumped on a pole and BJ took the other. The beasts on the other end of the lines were 60 and 80 pound Sailfish. After reeling for some time, Laura and Mom took over. My sweetheart, Laura, continued to reel as the fish continued to fight. From time to time the fish would jump from the water as if to show a sign of what you were up against. It was amazing to feel the raw power of these creatures. 45 minutes later we pulled the fish aboard for some quick photos and set them free.
Here is a little video clip of me pulling in the Sailfish. Notice the moment of awkwardness when it flops in the boat. I seriously didn't know what to do to show it off. I mean... you can't really hold it up over your head or anything. I went with the straddle method. I guess it's as good as any.
On our journey back to shore we came across a huge family of dolphin. They put on quite a show for us, swimming alongside the boat and jumping through our waves.
