Ramblin' On with Al and Colleen: Our Street

Our street here at La Penita RV Park is named Edward St.

No one has been able to tell us why. There are seven spots on our street and all are occupied by BC'ers, mainly from the Island. We have one trailer, 2 fifth wheels and 4 motorhomes.

It is a good bunch of people, we were supposed to have a street dinner on Saturday Night but we had rain!

On Thursday Night there was the first BINGO, BEER and PIZZA night at the pool. Reuben comes to the pool Wed thru Sat nights to make fresh pizza, a loaded Meetsa Pizza costs $145 pesos for a large, it just feeds Al and I perfectly.

Anyways, back to Bingo! We decided to go, with me protesting because I never win... It cost $10 pesos for a sheet with 3 cards on it. The first game the pot was split each person winning $240 pesos, yeah I was one of the winners, the next three pots were each $400 pesos, and the last game was black-out bingo and the pot was $750 pesos, yes, I won that one too! I will probably never win again but that was fun!!!

Next week it is Trivia

Al has now gone out fishing twice with guys from the park, the first time all they did was rescue turtles tied up in an abandoned Mexican long line. I had to look up what that was, so here is the wikipedia description:

Longline fishing is a commercial fishing technique. It uses a long line, called the main line, with baited hooks attached at intervals by means of branch lines called snoods (organgions).^[1] A snood is a short length of line, attached to the main line using a clip or swivel, with the hook at the other end. Longlines are classified mainly by where they are placed in the water column. This can be at the surface or at the bottom. Lines can also be set by means of an anchor, or left to drift. Hundreds or even thousands of baited hooks can hang from a single line. Longliners commonly target swordfish, tuna, halibut, sablefish and many other species

The second time he went out they caught fish!

This was a wahoo, yes, I had to look that up too!

WAHOO

This tremendous fighter lives up to its name in fight and beauty. Related to the barracuda, this slim fish is best known for its frightening array of razor sharp teeth. Common at 10 to 50 pounds, it can reach over 200 pounds. World record stands at 158 pounds, the Bay of Banderas gave up a 221 pounder in 2004 but didn't qualify from record status due to the manner in which it was caught. Excellent eating fish.
