PERFECT GAME By Pat Ford

SOL & MAR MAGAZINE

very January hoards of Spanish sardines and other baitfish congregate about 15 miles off the Island on Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The schools of baitfish soon attract schools of sailfish. A short ferry ride from Cancun, Isla Mujeres has developed into an Atlantic sailfish paradise for American sportfishing boats, who are chasing the schools of sailfish. I try to get to Isla Mujeres and ride with my friend Martin Bracamonte on his customized Hatteras ‘Perfect Game’. The daily plan is simple run to the area where the sails were the day before and look for frigate birds. At first they will be high in the sky, searching, waiting for the sailfish to push the bait to the surface. If the frigates are diving in a V formation, they are on bait being pushed by sails and that’s where you want to be. It’s one of the most fascinations sights in the ocean…I will never get tired of watching sailfish balling bait. Contact the “Perfect Game” at Cancunboatclub.com and book a trip!

AN AMAZONIAN ADVENTURE ON THE MOTHER SHIP KALUA By Dr. Martin Arรณstegui

SOL & MAR MAGAZINE

few weeks ago, my wife Roberta and I traveled to Barcelos Brazil to go on a fishing adventure on the Rio Negro. At this time of the year, conditions are usually very good for peacock bass fishing in the Amazon. This year was a bit different in that the water levels in the Amazon basin were higher than normal. When the water is high, the fish stay inside areas where the river floods the rainforest and are hard to find. When the river is low, the fish must leave their cover and stay in the river, where they are easier to catch. Roberta and I had a great trip even if the conditions were not perfect. The fishing guides from the Kalua worked extremely hard to find places where we could catch plenty of fish. Many times we ended up traveling through narrow paths in order to get into secluded lagoons that had plenty of fish. We also were able to take advantage of using small artificial lures and casting small peacock bass flies. We ended up catching a large number of fish every day and having a great time. I highly recommend the Kalua for anyone interested in a great fishing adventure in the Amazon. If interested please check out their website www.kaluapesca.com.br or call my friend in Florida- Alan Zaremba at (954) 609-3671

UNA AVENTURA AMAZร NICA EN EL BARCO MADRE KALUA Por el Dr. Martin Arรณstegui

SOL & MAR MAGAZINE

ace unas semanas, mi esposa Roberta y yo viajamos a Barcelos Brasil para emprender una aventura pesquera en el Río Negro. En esta época del año, las condiciones son generalmente muy buenas para la pesca del pavón (tucunare) en el Amazonas. Este año fue un poco diferente, porque los niveles de agua en la cuenca del Amazonas fueron más altos de lo normal. Cuando el nivel del agua es alto, los peces permanecen dentro de las áreas donde el río inunda la selva tropical y son difíciles de encontrar. Cuando el nivel de las aguas del río está bajo, los peces deben dejar las riberas altas y permanecer en el río, donde son más fáciles de pescar. Roberta y yo tuvimos un gran viaje, incluso si las condiciones no hubiesen sido perfectas. Los guías de pesca de Kalua estuvieron trabajado extremadamente, en condiciones difíciles para encontrar lugares donde podíamos capturar un montón de peces. Muchas veces terminamos navegando por afluentes estrechos con el fin de entrar en las lagunas solitarias, donde habian abundantes peces. También pudimos aprovechar el uso de pequeños señuelos artificiales y lanzar pequeñas moscas de pavón. Tuvimos un tiempo estupendo cada día, pues terminamos capturando un gran número de peces. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Kalua para cualquier interesado en disfrutar una gran aventura de pesca en el Amazonas. Si está interesado por favor visite su sitio web www. kaluapesca.com.br o llame a mi amigo en la Florida: Alan Zaremba al (954) 609-3671

few years ago, my son Martini and my wife Roberta traveled with me to Thailand to fish for the legendary Mekong Catfish. During our stay we had the opportunity to visit food markets, flower markets and street vendors, we were fascinated by the sights and smells of these very interesting places. While these markets cater mostly to the local people, they also are visited by many tourists interested in learning more about the culture of the country.

¿Qué es la micropigmentación?

s un tratamiento que tiene su origen en tiempos remotos en Asia y es una adaptacion de la técnica de los tatuajes. Sus diferencias radican en que se usan diferentes pigmentos. La profundidad donde se coloca este pigmento es más superficial que la del tatuaje y, por lo tanto, es un tratamiento semipermanente, que dura hasta dos años en cejas, parpados, labios y areola, mientras que en el cuero cabelludo es de 4 a 5 años, pasado este tiempo se debe retocar para revivir el color. Estas técnicas buscan corregir, modificar, equilibrar determinados rasgos faciales y corporales para buscar la armonia deseada por el paciente de una forma natural para que pase desapercibido por los otros, pero que realce cada punto de belleza y enmascare cada imperfección. No hablamos de estar maquillado 24 horas, sino de renovarnos y destacar nuestra belleza natural . Los pigmentos se implantan en la dermis papilar. Estos son elaborados a base de oxido de hierro. La mayoria son inorgánicos, mientras que otros son orgánicos, además de hipoalergenicos y de origen mineral, por lo tanto sus particulas le dan estabilidad en la piel. Los invitamos a conocer nuestros tratamientos en nuestra nueva Clinica Tocco di Bellezza Aesthetic and Spa, situada en el 600 East, 4 Ave Hialeah Fl 33010.

BANDA GÁSTRICA VIRTUAL Por Granya González

a BANDA GÁSTRICA VIRTUAL (BGV), es un programa psicológico para el sobrepeso que hace uso de todos los recursos de la hipnosis y de la reprogramación subliminal, operando precisamente sobre el otro extremo del problema, sobre el deseo. Y no solo disminuye el deseo de comer, sino que se implantan en el inconsciente nuevas pautas de conducta frente a la comida. El sobrepeso es un verdadero flagelo que azota a nuestra sociedad y que afecta de manera directa o indirecta a todas las familias. Se logra bajar de peso a partir de la disminución del deseo y de un cambio en las conductas. Puede ser acompañando una dieta o simplemente cuidándose en la elección de las comidas. El único mecanismo real para bajar de peso consiste en consumir menos calorías que las que quememos en la actividad diaria, de tal manera que nuestro organismo se vea obligado a recurrir a las reservas que tenemos almacenadas en forma de grasa. Es decir: Comer menos. La banda gástrica virtual se trata de un enfoque psicológico del problema, con la utilización de los recursos de la hipnosis y la reprogramación subliminal tendiente a obtener la baja del peso, no a partir de la prohibición externa, sino de la disminución del deseo, lo que evita el ciclo de recuperación de peso común a todos los otros tratamientos, “el efecto Yo-yo”. No está enfrentado con otros tratamientos ni con los recursos quirúrgicos, al contrario facilita su éxito. Granya González es terapeuta certificada en implante de Banda Gástrica 234
