so upon further discussion with the Ari our new friend that set up my octopus hunting expedition we learned that it is a much more arduous task than simply wading out into the water and harpooning a little octopus!
I am now setting off on an adventure Mexican adventure with some guy named Chuchuro or some thing vaguely similar. We will begin with a hike over the cliff of bahia de la luna (see photo) to the next bay over where we will free dive to unknown depths harpooning pullpo (octopus) and then swimming back around the point to bahia de la luna and then across the bay to the other rocky outcroppings where apparently there are many more pullpo weighing on average 1 to 2 kilos, this is sort of funny because i am paying the guy 40 US for the hiking/marathon swim that will only return 60 pesos (about six bucks) per kilo of pullpo. this will either be a financial windfall and you will never see Amber and I again because we will be full time pullpo harpooners or we will see you on Wednesday of next week.
I will let you all know how it went tomorrow but i am sure Amber will have type since I will have hiked cliffs and swam 3 miles. Amber may also be too tired to type sine Ari has asked her to kayak to the point to pick up some of Chuchro and my bounty. Who knows what will happen. Buenos noches and adios.
