Rigging with purpose today; straight faces, serious preparation. Of course a tribute to "Cinco de Mayo" was in order following the flurry of focused concentration. A few rounds of "Margaritas", a few toasts of "Salud", and proper honors were paid. Night fell balmy, smooth, inviting; everything we could ask for in proper order. Perfect bait, bulletproof thus far, sweet tropical breeze tempering the heat and humidity, and prospects ahead left to our imagination; much better often times than heading into the known. Fuel for optimism within the mystery; we'll ride that line anytime. Regardless of what our dreams produce we'll be well acquainted with reality by this time tomorrow; and will report accordingly.
