A large Black Marlin chasing a bridle rigged Bonita, Dorado chasing ballyhoo and two Wahoo- all in a frenzy!!!

Two days left here in Nica and we are planning on returning some time soon. We moved down to the beach house so making updates to the blog isn’t possible unless we are at the camp. Two new crews arrived today and the camp is at full capacity. Lance and a few of the guys went out in the boat today and landed a nice sailfish and a few dolphin. Jimmy is taking a different crew out tomorrow an hopefully they will land something nice, we are itching to do a nice fish print.

The mural is coming along nicely and we should be wrapping up most of the work tomorrow. The finishing touches will be added on the last day where we are just adding the final highlights and glazes. Started on the details of the wahoo and they are looking mean. Abby was detailing out the bait ball and the ballyhoo which look incredible. Here are some pics of the major updates so far.

Day three here in Nicaragua and loving life, it’s going to be tough dragging Abby out of here after the next couple of days. The mural is progressing along great and we have employed some great help from Jimmy, one of the Surfari guides. It’s pouring down rain today so it looks like we may just be hanging and painting until it clears up.

Andrew swung through yesterday afternoon with a crew from the Sanctuary to check out the work and play a little ping pong. After working up a sweat in the loft it was time to go for a surf. Hit up a nice little 4′-6′ right point with just us 5 guys in the water. We ran through the pole positions off the peak and traded off set waves till sunset.

Here are some pics of the process so far. Should have quite a few more for tomorrow with work completed today.
