Octopus fiasco

For a short period last year we were blessed with visitors. All the kids came for a bit, and Jordan and Lyra even cruised most of the way up the Baja coast line.

At one of the anchorages we freed a trapped octopus. It ended up in the dinghy which almost sent Lyra over the side and into the water. Unfortunately we didn’t  get that on video, or we might have had a $10,000 winner.

We did get a little video of the release. The release was quite the challenge, because try as I might, that little critter did not want me to pick it up. I finally got it to stay on the oar long enough to get to the outside of the boat. Obviously by its departure, it was not happy with it’s treatment. Oh well, you can’t please everyone.

Here is video of it’s release;
