But in fact it wasn't ... a few spots of rain fell but it was hot and humid.

Our road to Punta Allen through Sian Ka'an was literrally being built as we went. Thank goodness for Cody.

[ENG] Permit stalking came off. A group of more than thirty permit came eating at a distance, the guide has intercepted it, and the fisherman has made a perfect cast. But how many times a cast to permit successfully ends? Few, actually. There are many influencing factors as how to find it, have a chance to cast not scaring the fish, showing interest in the fly and ending up in fisherman´s hands, too many variables for a single fish. That is the greatness of permit.

[ESP] El rececho a las palometas ha salido bien. Un bando de más de treinta venía comiendo a lo lejos, el guía les ha cortado el camino y el pescador ha hecho un lance perfecto. Pero, ¿cuántas veces finaliza con éxito un lance a la palometa? Pocas, realmente. Hay muchos factores que influyen como encontrarla, tener opción a lanzar, que no se asuste, que se interese por la mosca, pique y que llegue a las manos del pescador, demasiadas variables para un solo pez. Esa es la grandeza de la palometa.

[ENG] Fishing with two guides is an advantage. While one runs the operation from the platform, the other one accompanies the fisherman, recommends when to cast and helps with the line to avoid tangles. In these lodges so specialized in permit fly fishing, know that casting from the boat scare more fish away as if done from the water.

[ESP] La ventaja de llevar a dos guías es que uno dirige la operación desde la plataforma de la barca, mientras el otro acompaña al pescador, le recomienda cuando lanzar y le ayuda con la línea para que esta no se enrede durante el lance. En estos campamentos tan especializados en pescar palometas a mosca saben que lanzar desde la barca las espanta más que si se hace desde el agua.

We were already ahead of the game ... none of us wanted to snorkel, so we went straight to the swimming beach ... via the tequila!
