Buoyweather and weather underground does not reflect favorable conditions for this weekend, so at this point we're not heading down. But if it changes... Anyone else planning a trip? :boat:

Boy, you're so right DM, Happy sure has a list of contacts, and he is a valuable resource of information. He's right on target about the kayak warning. Several years ago, my son and friend wanted to use a buddies kayaks. We told them to stay within 50 yards of shore. But we neglected to give...

I just called the 520 # and the fella told me "They were all set, and Thank You", and hung up...Don't know if the girls were found.

I've got a call in to a friend who's father had a plane in RP.

I called the number listed and the girls are still missing. The military is out looking for them at this hour, 07:30. I'm not sure we could be of any help since they are out looking, and aircraft could cover so much more area. If needed, I could try and take off work and head to RP: the...

Thanks for the pictures! Sure looks like everyone had a great time; wish we could have made it! don

"Hi and Welcome Matt!" Lots of great folks on this site, but you've probably seen that already. I'm planning on a trip next weekend. Will you be around at PDO then? Do you keep your boat at PDO? We're not sure where we'll be staying, either PDO (if they have space), a hotel or ?? Have you...

Here is what I've found for Emergency kit prices: The best price/components I've found for an Orion Emergency flare kit is at West Marine. This kit contains 6 aerial flares and plastic gun, 6 hand held flares, 2 orange smoke daytime flares, signal mirror, and comes in a fluorescent orange...

Reading the recipe was a great way to begin a work day. Forwarded onto my wife and she'll pass it around her buddies. Thanks for the laugh!

I contacted BoatUS about their rental program and if the Mexican Navy would respond and here is their answer plus more info on using a "SPOT" type of locater beacon. Here is the response from "Boatus": "The short answer to whether the Mexican Navy will respond is we do not know. The U.S. is a...

Hi Stu! Say, do you have the 24 inch or 36 inch manual bilge pump from West Marine? Do you have one or two pumps? Did you have any problem with the "Hose" coming off your pump? Seems like some folks did, perhaps they have an older version of pump. I've heard of some folks using/keeping on board...

Here is info on renting a EPIRB. These are offered through www.boatus.com. They rent for 40 bucks per week and there is a 25 dollar shipping charge (includes return shipping). I'm going to contact "boatus" to see if these would be useful in the sea of Cortez (dispatching rescue vessels)...

I've read where one can rent one of the locator beacons for several days to ? for a much cheaper price than puchasing/and paying for the service. I'll post that info as well.

Stu, Sixty, Kelney, Ric, DM, Sally and others, please add your suggestions on gear you have aboard. Obviously everyone should carry the minimum basic US Coast Guard required items, this is for additional gear you fellas recommend. To get it started these are a few items I carry: I carry two...

Wow, what a story... Superb job on the solutions! What kind of portable hand pump do you have/recommend? I carry a spare high capacity bilge pump with tubing and alligator clips, but I can see a portable hand pump would be mandatory. On a prior boat (bass style) I used in RP, my batteries...
