Somewhere north of El Cardonal \/\/<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t so much as a whisper of wind this morning.  The sea is still, the air is warm, and the sun is intensifying by the minute.  It only makes sense then to spend the day on the water.  Mark had hopes of snorkeling and I was well on my way to attempting my first ever paddleboard yoga session until witnessing all the jellyfish that had congregated in our little bay.  Yesterday Mark was stung while snorkeling.  Apple cider vinegar eased the pain and he was hopeful it wasn\u2019t likely to happen again\u2026until we could see that they were everywhere.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to stick to our paddleboards and enjoy the sea life sightings from above the water.  The water was so calm I could have easily napped on my board though the heat of the day had us more interested in seeking respite from the sun.  Back on land I pulled my chair over to the shady side of our truck and dove in to a new book. Choosing to spend the day offline had me in full relaxation mode from the moment I got out of bed and I was savoring every bit of it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come sunset we\u2019d logged three paddle board sessions and I\u2019d read half of a book.  Six full days on this beach allowed us the time to put in a few work days as well as some rest days.  When we arrived a week ago I had reached a saturation point and was no longer enjoying our travels to the same level I had been in the weeks prior.  I needed the chance to slow down and that\u2019s exactly what our time here has allowed for.  But as of today we\u2019re down to our last few gallons of water and our refrigerator is looking sparse.  A resupply is needed.  So tomorrow we\u2019ll get back on the road refreshed and ready for a new adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n
