    Here are couple pics of our whale sharks swim. Things are massive. It is comical to see the cluster fuck of boats circling, trying to let swimmers out and stay ahead of the sharks. The dude on the boat with us was a videographer and had some unreal footage. I will see if I can get it from him.


    *** fun fact. The reason they are in Isla this time of year is the massive presence of fertilized Tuna eggs (which float).


    I regret that we didn’t try Fuego Del Mar for dinner one night, but the only time we could have fit it in, everyone was trashed from golf cart drinking and then being at the beach all day, so I decided to stay close and went to Javi’s.

  2. Did four hour bottom fishing trip with Lilly M in Isla Mujeres on Sat. Constant action and some cool fish. Snapper, Triggers, Barracuda, Snake Fish, Poggies, reef fish were just some of the things we reeled in. We took them to Ballyhoo for dinner and they made great ceviches, Fried and grilled with garlic sauce.

  3. We just got back late last night.

     

    Hotel Secreto was fantastic. Loved the staff, location, and air conditioning.

     

     

    Dinners: we did Bastos, Javi’s, Mar Bella and Ballyhoo. There was not a dog in the bunch. We brought our fish from our offshore trip back to Ballyhoo and they killed it with the ceviche and garlic grilled fish . Bastos always delivers. Each couple ordered the big platter that had the arrachera, chicken and sausage. Mar Bella was probably my favorite as far as flavor goes. I will say it is more like American prices, but we did it right with several courses and they actually had a real wine list.

     

    Breakfast: Mango’s Cafe twice and North Garden. Both always deliver.

     

     

    Drinks : our favorite place to drink that I don’t remember being mentioned on here was Villa La Bella. It is about 2 or 3 blocks south of Mango Cafe. Amazing Pina coladas and margaritas and ice cold beer. Tony place With swings at the bar and a walkway down to the surf. We ended visiting multiple times. Of course we stopped by the Joint. Other places that I am sure I forgot.

     

    Lunch : I didn’t go but the group really enjoyed Oscar’s.

     

     

    We did the whale sharks with Searious Diving. Ramon was great. Was an hour boat ride out there. Yes, it was really cool to see. They are giant. That boat ride back is a beating. Got some really cool photos I will try to upload from my computer. They did stop and do some snorkeling and then parked at north beach for beers and fresh made ceviche.

     

    We did four hour bottom fishing trip on Lilly M and it was constant action with snapper, Barracuda, Trigger fish and lots of their random fish. I will post pics later on fishing thread.

     

     

    Three of the five couples had never been to Isla and absolutely were amazed by the food.

  4. She is my favorite because of the reek of desperation she has each week.  Demi will steam roll over her multiple times and it will be glorious. 

     

    Who in the fuck decided any of us want to see Nicole on BIP?  She has that constant look of needing to let a fart out but is terrified it might be a wet one...

  5. So private dinner Thursday night in Aspen with some customers was a nice treat . More great wine. The theme was Wines That Inspired You and was hosted by Charles Bieler and Joel Gott. Joel also brought a few wines from his cellar. Mezcal was for dessert.

    That Trevallon was whole cluster Cab with Syrah and big. The Insignia was classic old school Napa Cab.

    Yesterday was Fried Chicken and Champagne lunch.

    About the Building Blocks Cab: Story is that Joey Wagner volunteered to chair the charity event for his kids school. Then the next day realized he made a mistake. So he called Dave Phinney and Joel Gott (their kids go to same school ) and tried to rope them into helping. After a couple of weeks of floundering to get things going, they agreed to hire an Event Coordinator to handle it. She knocked it out of the park and they decided to do something fun for the auction. So they bottled 10 case of 2010 mags of Building Blocks Cab, which is 1/3 Caymus Special Select, 1/3 Pappillion, and 1/3 Gott Napa Cab.

  6. Was pretty boring season.  I will say that the ending had me cheering though.  Never in million years did I think he would have the balls to take the money.  And why wasn't he banging that every night??  I mean, it has to be some pretty long days there. At the very least, bang it out a few times just to break up the day. 

     

     

  7. Texas Star posted a pic of a tagged redfish. Looks like that might be the first one.


    One of the guides said a guy hooked a fish and let his kid reel it in and it was a tagged fish. Didn’t qualify. Not sure if true or not though. What a kick in the nuts if true.

  8. We are headed back in a couple of weeks for four nights.  Five couples, three of which has never been.  Bastos is first night and Ballyhoo is last night (after we get off the fishing boat).   Anything stellar we should try out for dinner the other nights?

  9. I don't retain much from GF watching this in the background, but this quote from Lala was a gem:
    "I don't think I'm better than people. But I know when I'm above someone."



    Her best quote was “I can suck dick to get on a PJ (private jet) “.

    Apparently she had a rich BF before who spoiled her and now she doesn’t but still wants the PJ lifestyle.


    I watch Below Deck with the wife. It’s usually pretty entertaining with some hookups. Red heads aren’t really my thing, but I bet Rhylee from last season will fuck you until she rips out your soul.


    Also just finished watching Summer House. Hot chicks.
