So much for the ‘off-season’ !
The Sims group finished off their trip on August 27 with a fun day in the sun on the Discoverer.
They were paced by the Wanderer offshore, but pulled up when the keen-eyed Captain Carlos spotted this floating debris:
The large fish were elusive but the big battleship stayed busy with a large quantity of smaller catches.
They had a sushi appetizer to celebrate the good catches, then contributed their sizable haul of fish to Maria for a family-style dinner back at Nosara Paradise Rentals.
Great trip for Team Sims!
