#1: music on the beach – yes various groups like for you to enjoy their playlist. Maybe sometimes you’re in that mood, but you’ll have to find less populated, remote beaches to have tranquility. 

#2: undiscipline dogs on the beach that bark nonstop – yes, people don’t have a clue how obnoxious their little buddy is to all those around them. If you can’t control them, don’t bring them.

#3: screaming motorcycles  – we covered this in November’s edition, click here.

#4: honking at the taxi driver who stops suddenly – I’m guilty myself. 

#5: way too intoxicated hecklers at the local bar – you know the type…they don’t care and will be loud and obnoxious no matter what.  Especially if it’s early in the evening and you’re trying to enjoy a meal or football game. Do you friend a favor and take them home.

TURN IT UP:

#1: waves crashing on the beach

#2: sound of birds, howler monkeys

#3: the powerful sound of the waterfalls 

#4: hearing “gracias” and “buen dia para ti”

#5: people having a good time

The marina wakes up early. Before the sun burns the pink off the horizon, crews are already loading bait, checking lines, and swapping the kind of dockside predictions that sound half science, half folklore. One captain says the billfish were running blue water...
