    YouTube TV

    A VPN (paid service usually) is a virtual private network. It allows your IP address (your internet provider's ID for your network location to be moved from your actual location to another country. For using US based streaming services ex. HBO Max in Mexico where it's not available, using a VPN...

    Going to RP for first time this week!!

    Ditto to what Miramar said, it is nasty hot and humid, If the wind dies down then it gets really nasty. My local fishing buddies who like the heat and humidity way more than me, stop fishing mid-July until Oct.

    YouTube TV

    As Ernesto said, Netflix and Amazon prime video will only give you shows allowed in the region you are at, without using a VPN. In Penasco, Hulu, HBO Max and others are a no show without a VPN. Even with a VPN you can watch a few shows before they detect you are using a VPN and you need to...

    masks in RP

    CV19 cases are increasing in Penasco, I guess the huge influx of visitors over the past few months has helped the surge here. Today I was told the city of Penasco is quietly asking stores, restaurants, etc. to consider closing during Aug like some places do already for their vacation. If cases...

    Beached whale

    It washed up semi close to where it beached the 1st time. You could tell it was hurt/sick because in the video of it going out into the water it's breathing looked labored and it looked lethargic. But being beached for hours, that didn't help at all. Sad, but nature doing it's business. I didn't...

    masks in RP

    Driving thru Sonoyta, wear one. In Penasco driving with 2+ people wear a mask (you will see a lot of people driving ignoring this). But I wear one so the Police don't have an excuse to pull us over. Especially in Sonoyta. Entering restaurants, bars and all stores mask is required. But you will...

    EL Golfo (the humid armpit of the Vermillion sea)

    Old55, the link is broken, error 404. We've been seeing the fish population get smaller and fewer over the past 20 years I'm aware of. I remember fishing neighbors in Cholla Bay going out and bringing back 4-6, 60-70lb+ groupers almost every trip. The few fishing friends who still go out from...

    The Rocky Point forum is back!

    JJ, I can get into the other FB RP groups I subscribe to and can post, but the RPT one I tried to post less than 5 times and never saw them get public. I tend to not flame anyone like I do here, but I guess it's still no bueno. Depending on which FB site you made the remark about most are...

    Super Hot in AZ...and not so hot in Rocky Point?

    Even with temp's getting to the 90's in Penasco, it's still not bad in June. QoK is spot on, it's the humidity that makes it bad. As we get the arrival of the Monsoon season in July-Sept, Penasco's humidity climbs making it a totally different experience, the Dew points hover around 70-80...

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    Joe unless you actually drive into the lot you can't see how many parked cars there are. I willing to bet $5 will keep many locals away. I won't go on Sat or Sun. It looks like a Gringo is running it so I don't think it will get out of control. We went to the Mi Playa beach a couple of times...

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    We crossed back into the US at noon today, there was a 20 min wait, 2 lanes were open. CBP agent took our passports scanned them and sent us on our way. Far left lane was making cars go thru the X-RAY Monster. We picked the right lane of course. We were supposed to go home on Tues, glad we...

    The drive from border to RP is perilous!

    LOL, the only one who don't speed are the delivery trucks or Mexican's driving older cars. Once cleared of Sonoyta, most US plated cars are going north of 75mph with many doing 85-100mph. Way too many trucks pulling toys or trailers have no business even trying to pass lines of cars, I've seen...

    Last night's Lunar Eclipse

    When I saw this at 4:10ish AM, I knew I needed to take some pic's and I really wanted to go back to sleep. But I did the right thing.

    The Police in Sonoita are out of control!

    I'm guessing this thread has gotten to this point about the reality of things. I have faith things things will be just fine. Why do people keep playing the same fear story as you know who, the one no longer a news story. , Back to the thread, The line coming into Sonoyta today was much...
