No place to metal detect out here

[G.I.B.]

Taking a break from detecting and gone sailing. Went from Tampa to Isla Mujeres Mexico and survived the great pig flu outbreak.

Note: When returning to the US do NOT put "Mexican Pig Farmer" in the occupation box on the customs form.

Those are BEAUTIFUL shots (wish there were more!!!)
How long did it take to sail to Isla Mujeres from here??
Thanks for showing the photos...

Oh, I meant to ask... did you get any detecting in over there??

Nope, didn't take my detector with me. I was space limited on this trip and the scuba gear won the toss. Every time I walked on the beach I was mentally detecting though... would have been a nice place to work. When I bring my boat back next spring, I will have my 'tectors with me.

It took 3 days to sail there from St. Pete. I left my boat back in safe harbor and crewed on a boat that we raced over in the Regatta del Sol al Sol. We placed 3rd in our class and 8th overall. (38 boats racing)

Here's a few more photos of the island. The first is the awards ceremony. (I'm the old fat guy on the left, not the Guy In Back on this one :-) hehehe )

Wow, those are some really amazing shots!!!! It's sad you didn't get to detect, but cool that you'll have the ability to do so at another point in time! Well, I suppose I'd have to say that their beaches are much more beautiful than ours....

What a beautiful place. OMG those 1st 2 pics are scary...love that one of y'all riding the waves. We had a sail boat once upon a time, it was a salvage boat out of FL. Believe me, no hard time selling it after Katrina.

I believe I would be enjoying the scenery more than trying to detect the beach.
