When the Pacifico runs dry... there's always Indio... or Modelo Especial! Pacifico is my cerveza of choice. I can't stomach most Tecate products.

Eat it! Mako shark is fantastic eating, the best of all the sharks with thresher a close 2nd. You may not realize it, but shark USED to be the primary fish used in fish tacos until their numbers fell from overfishing. We've had this discussion before about makos being served, even in...

Owwwwie, owwwie, owwwie!!!!! I'm with you, Robert. May has overwhelmed me with birthdays, graduations, honey-do projects, anniversary, etc. Come June? Forget THAT nonsense, I'm going fishing!

Knock on wood, I've only had to trek a mile or so once into the harbor on one engine coming back from the 51. VST filter (tiny hard to get to fuel filter) clogged. My cat just wants to go around in circles on one engine because they are spread so far apart. Makes for some very tough boat...

Or... you could hire somebody that already knows how the game is played to school you. <hint-hint> What you read here vs. practical application on the water are two very distinctly different things. Just sayin'.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Biding my time. The wind can't last forever. So I think, right?

Interesting. What brought you here? That's a pretty big claim, by the way. Many of us here would be interested in the documents/pictures just because we're history buffs and such. As far as kicking the ejidos off, well... as Warren Zevon so aptly put it: "Bring lawyers, guns, and money... the...

Very nice, Shawno! In both your report and Ted's, the water is soooo flat. Love it like that! Going down soon, if I can figure on finding a day or two between these massive blows.

Seldom to never will you see a speed trap on open highway in Mexico. I used to have my radar detector at all times, but never bother anymore. Some of the patrol cars have radar on while driving, but they blast it and you can pick it up several miles away. I thought my detector had gone goofy...

Y'all want some fun? Jig up some of those squid and drop 'em whole (or in big strips) at the 51. HANG ON!!!!!! Hahahaha! It was May a few years ago when we did that and caught both ginormous white AND black seabass! True monsters. The trick is to use a really big piece because the piggy...

THAT was a scary one! April 2007. Yes, pics are still up on Google Picasa. Channel 26 on the VHF was still active then. I curse the day they took it down because 26 (run by the Cholla Bay Sportsman's Club) had a repeater and you could get excellent radio contact from a long way out and everyone...

VHF and cell phone here. That's it. More often than not, I buddy boat, though, and keep in touch via VHF on and off throughout the day. That's truly your best option because as you know, there ain't no Sea Tow in Mexico! (Business idea?) More than half the battle is finding someone that CAN come...

Two things and I've been bit by both before, but figured them out within a few minutes. Same sort of scenario, turned motors off somewhere out on the deep blue and they wouldn't restart. WTF? Always get this sort of gnawing feeling in the pit of my gut when that happens. 1) Safety...

Glad to see some snappers being wrangled up! They've been missing in action for awhile now.

Great news, Bill! Not everybody does it on purpose (thread-jacking). We're just a bunch of ADD children and one topic often leads to the next -- because each of us interpret information and key on certain parts of it differently.

Crescent City, Cali... close enough. I'm not saying they are bad boats, Kenny. Simply that they serve a different purpose. True waves and Pacific swell are one thing. Wind-blown against the tide flat-faced two second interval Sea of Cortez chop is entirely different and as I said, ass-pounding...

With the controls that far forward, you're ass is going to take a pounding in our seas. Seriously... think panga. Where is the operator? ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK. Why? Smoothest place on the boat in chop. Just sayin'... Nice working boat, but I don't think you'd fair well in it except on flat...

Roberto - Out of curiosity, say I bought this house at asking price. What other payments would I would be looking at? Taxes, HOA, whatever-else-I-don't-know? I mean, utilities are a given, I get that, but what else would I be paying on a monthly/yearly basis to figure true cost of ownership...

Roger and Company's new album released today! I have to say, each new album takes time to grow on me. At first, I'm like "Eh... I dunno..." then play it again, and again and before you know it, I'm singing along. The only album I didn't have that reaction to was Americano. First time I heard...

Accountable? HAHAHAHAHA!!! You're forgetting - It's all in the name of Homeland Security! The Mother Country must be protected at all costs! You have no rights, all of you miserable peons... you all serve the Mother Country!!! I feel the same way about Thousands Standing Around (TSA). Don't...
