Boce Falls Jan 7, 1979 Continuing hard wind all day but shifted from East to Southeast. In any event, it kept the fish down until it let up some about 4:30 PM. Then for the first time in two days look as I both saw a few bonefish tailing in shallow water. But they are spooky as well, and a cast anywhere near them generally initiated a rout. Look had a couple of strikes from bonefish but failed to get a hook-up. I just scared the one I went after. According to Gregoris this is the 74th consecutive day of wind. Previously over Xmas at New Year he says there were calm, clear days one after another, and fine fishing. Joe Selvidge was here for two weeks and made a killing. The prognostication now is for a gradual let-up of the wind and (hopefully) a gradual improvement in the fishing. So for the two days have been a bust. Saw several white ibis today - some singly, one bunch of a dozen. Xavier says there are ducks somewhere in this estuary but we haven't seen a one. I took pictures of an osprey on her nest in mangroves, with 4 eggs visible from the boat. She was very persistent and is probably incubating. Gregoris tells me there are no deer left on these spots, hence no big predators. Xavier's wife has a murgay kitten about half grown. No alligator left, no dangerous snake here. Had chicken en mole for dinner - delicious!
