Nosara, Costa Rica
~5500 miles

went out on tony and kevin's fishing boat today with art and bridgette and matt from la luna. caught 10 ~30lb yellowfin tuna. we had fresh sashimi and nigiri sushi later... and 1" thick seared ahi tuna steaks for dinner... the only thing we were missing was tuna ice cream for dessert.

love tuna.

we fished around a pod of some 200-300 dolphins. it was like the flip-a-lympics or something.. they were jumping out of the water continuously doing flips, somersaults, backflips, sideflips and just about every other thing you can imagine a dolphin do. kevin, the captain, confirmed that in the six years he's been out here fishing he's never seen anything like it either. there were a lot of babies in the pod, so perhaps it was some sort of junior dolphin training day or something. they were also hanging out with a group of yellowfin tuna, which apparently are better at sniffing out good bait fish as well.
