This week I had two couples
from Texas who wanted to spend some time on the beach
and go off-shore fishing.
I found a GREAT B&B
on the beach at Playa Potrero, Flamingo. It is only 2
years old, sits 150 feet from the beach, built like a
Motel, by a VERY NEAT couple from Seatle. Each room is
large with it΄s own bath and a large porch facing the
Ocean. They designed and built this place
themselves and paid close attention to detail. They
serve a great breakfast in the Rancho. They made me and
my guests feel like we were much loved relatives and I
highly recommend them to anyone looking for a neat,
inexpensive place on the beach. You can reach them at dane_vickie@racsa.co.cr
or 506 654-5005.
We went offshore on the
Pes Bela owned by another neat guy from Colarado. I
have been a Guide for Offshore fishing in a past life in
Texas, fished from New Zealand, Australia to Mexico, and
US; I will put this crew up against any I have seen. We
were after Dorado and Sail fish. The Capitan and two
hands worked like a well tuned program to get us
comfortably to where the fish were and they proceded to
get them up, put the bait in their mouth, and assist in
landing them.
We hooked up 8 thirty to
forty pound Dorado and boated 6 of them. The crew had
them fileyed and on ice right after they had put all of
the teasers and baits back in the water. We only got one
Sail fish up, hooked, fought up to the boat,
photographed, tagged and released. They served fresh
Pineapple, Watermellon, and Fried Chicken for snacks and
lunch. I would highly recommend this boat and crew to
anyone wanting a very competent, friendly, English
speaking crew. You can contact the owner Darrel at 506
6544391.
After fishing and lying
on the beach, we went to Lake Arenal. I have found
another great bargain place with a nice garden looking
down the entire length of Lake Arenal at the Vocano. It
is the Mystika Lodge. It is owned by an Italian family
and they serve very good Pizza and bread cooked in their
wood fired oven. This is a totally tranquile place to
kick back and enjoy the sights and sounds of Costa Rica.
I feel this article
relates to living here because this is one more of the
many benefits we enjoy. PURA VIDA
