Kidnapping in Paamul

I went to Paamul yesterday on a reef reconnoissance mission, visited Susita and Rick and drop them in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. After returning to harbour in Playa I found this mysterious note on my boat:

"we have yor chanclas pay 2000 peso or we auction for DJ".

Hmmmm............

Ugly or old shoes or sandals. I love the word "chanclas." Chahn-klahs. I wear chanclas when I am in PdC so that my feet are comfortable.

you'll note the edit message in DB's post. His first attempt was garbled code. Very mysterious.

There's no way DaddyB's chanclas would fit me. He's got a small kicksize, I'm told.

the truth be told?

DaddyB offers to takes us out to a reef to snorkel
while he checks out a diving site


"We'll be close...just wave when you are done", he says.

Right.

A storm brews.


No boat in sight.

We are gonna die.


He finally shows up.

The storm is raging.

He dumps us on the shore and leaves.

AND HE HAS OUR CHANCLAS!!

I was hired by Corona to keep their secret safe. Nothing more convenient than a little snorkel tour, leave them out there, either wait for the storm or chum the water for sharks and chomp! the Corona secret is safe.
But my conscience wouldn't allow it, we returned for Rick and Susita and damn Corona!
As to the chanclas, footwear that has been worn by such famous people must surely (shut up, Shirley!) be worth at least 1000 pesos a pair!

I'm sure someone out there would be ready to fork out such modest sums. Hurry up, Susita has already been on the blower threatening to shop me to the Federales in case I go ahead with my dastardly plan! First come, first served!
