    Building Blocks, Home Port

    Agree, brokenwave. And despite whether the port is doomed to failure / misery, or destined for prosperity for all, I appreciate the updates, Russ.

    Puerto Penasco Home Port

    Not sure I follow you on that. The airport is pretty darn nice. Paid a visit a couple years ago. Of course the problem is there is no traffic (!) but from the standpoint of completed construction, it is up and ready.

    Looking to work in PP any ideas? (serious question)

    I know I would be among the first customers. One problem would be having a reliable source of produce (mushrooms, for example), so that the "order form" would be consistent.

    Too much dirt on my truck?

    Okay -- so it does look like another "new rule." I guess I'll put "clean car" on my return-to-States checklist, and maybe pack some teeth whitener strips just to be safe.

    Too much dirt on my truck?

    Years -- many years -- ago, after a storm, the Caborca road between town and Mayan was one filled wash after another. It was around 9:00 PM and after successfully plowing through all that, we met worse conditions on the beach access road. It was pure slime -- mud that was deep and wet...

    Looking to work in PP any ideas? (serious question)

    I know an ex-pat who moved to Ajijic (near Guadalajara) and opened an assisted living "facility." While I don't know what specific documentation / certification might have been required, it seemed not much more complicated than buying a multi-bedroom place on the outskirts of town, hiring a...

    Fresh produce availability

    I've only visited Sam's, Bodega Aurerra, SuperLey and Santa Fe Market thus far. Although they all had coconuts, papayas and pineapples, for general produce selection and quality, Santa Fe tops my list. (Sam's is on the north end of Benito Juarez . . . Santa Fe about a block south)

    Dengue Fever hits Sonora

    Was out that way all last week. Mosquitos (as you can imagine, after all the rain and the running washes and estarios out there) were pretty heavy. We were a little more careful to keep doors closed, which was sufficient. No problem walking along the beach or down at the water. Another thing...

    Scuba Accident

    As a certified diver I appreciate how fun, yet demanding of attention, diving can be -- especially in the learning stages. Sometimes panic overtakes the senses and stuff happens. Sorry for your loss.

    I think dairy, fruits and veggies are prohibited as well. That leaves flour, nuts, beans, spices, oil . . .

    Police Scam Near Sonoita

    This is definitely the new popular game in Sonoita. In two separate incidents over the last month, friends who have accompanied us to Rocky Point for about 20 years (and therefore know about and practice the Sonoita Crawl) were stopped. One was encouraged to pay up on the spot (and...

    ProAlliance Insurance

    True, but it was a sort of fly-to-fly-swatter attention.

    Tropical Storm Simon

    It isn't that powerful a storm in the first place, and I'm thinking (hoping . . . pretty sure) that by the time it crosses the Baja it will have weakened considerably.

    Your waxing on about hijacking was quite an impressive hijack in itself.

    Michigan Market

    Trivia Question: Is there a place down there that sells Portobello mushrooms? I want to put them on the menu for my next trip . . . . didn't have any luck finding them at Super Ley this last week.

    Puerto Penasco Home Port

    Was out there a year or two ago, just to see. The entranceway / parking / terminal were actually quite nice. Now if they just had air traffic . . .

    evicted from bella sirena part 1

    I stand corrected--Thought the group was given numerous warnings. Sounds like Sirena needs a big attitude adjustment.
