Does anyone know how long and how hard the wind blew on Thanksgiving.That might help figure out where to look . I was reading about Northerners : “
How does it get to Mexico? When the Plateau High is centered in the eastern part of the plateau, this cold, dry mass of air similarly rushes downward and outward. But this time it flows south through the Salton Sea Trough and the Colorado River Valley, then out onto the northern end of the Sea of Cortez. The areas first affected are San Felipe, Puerto Pe�asco and Desemboque.

Channeled between Baja�s mountainous spine and the Sonora Mountains on the mainland, the Norther continues flowing down the Sea of Cortez, northwest to southeast, drawn like a magnet toward the areas of low pressure at the equator.

A strong Norther can blast down the entire 700-nautical-mile length of the Sea of Cortez and be felt at Los Frailes on the Baja side, at Isla Isabela off the mainland Nayarit side and even by yatistas making the 275-mile crossing between Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta.

There’s 2 planes flying with their call signs on searching.
The Cessna 210 is flying in the middle of gulf about 40 south of Penasco the other a piper is flying the coast going south, the piper left in the last hour. The Cessna trail shows it been up couple hours 800 ft 125 kts.
I suspect all others don’t have their call sign on.

I live in Encanto. In looking at my weather station history on Thursday afternoon winds averaged 18mph with gusts up to 33 mph. It was pretty much like that all day.

Very sad story. All the times I've been out there, even in a big boat, shit can go south in such a hurry.

Gotta tell you the time a drunk shit head fell overboard on my boat while pissing over the transom in conditions just like this incident.

No life vest, no wet suit and especially no grey matter en la cabeza. Did find him eventually although almost dead from hypothermia.

We were heading home from Isla San Jorge and almost dark.

Maru and I have now confirmed the body has been 100 percent identified as Mrs .Allen.
This morning around 9 Am sun the 27 of Nov a body was spotted floating 8 miles off of Mayan place by a ponga boat. The Marines were call out to retrieve the body. A boat from our search team was sent out to confirm but missed the boat. We asked for photos to confirm the body.
The Navy, police or our search team received the photos to confirm.
However the news was leaked before anything was confirmed by all agencies working together.
At approximately 3:15 today our search team was notified the sister in law Nina Allen confirmed it was Mrs. Allen
We called our boats back from the area .
We send our condolences to the family but can assure them we have not stop the search for Corey Allen . k
At this moment we still have planes in the air and more help coming tonight and tomorrow.
I would ask the community to please check with Maru or myself any questions about the on going search as to avoid unnecessary drama. We need to stay on the front line to process facts for the search teams.
The update will be aired on channel 3,news.
Thank you for everyone helping and supporting us .
God speed.

Such a tragic situation. So sad.

Im not an expert on drowning, however it seems like she would have submerged after 3 days instead of being found floating ?

Any word she was found wearing a life jacket and hence probably died from the elements/ hypothermia ?

Also, any word their kayaks were found or recovered ? They will definitely show up at some point I would assume

Water around 65 degrees and air temp was below 50 at night . Maybe 40 hours survival tops in water at that temp.
