www.buoyweather.com You can see a two day prediction for free. If you want to see longer range (a week at a time) you must buy a subscription, $99 a year I believe. I have a subscription. You'll get different opinions about Buoyweather from folks. It's all based on computer models or "virtual"...

El pulpo cocktail.....yummy! hahahah! They are very cool to play with, though. It is literally amazing at how fast they can change colors to match their surroundings. Have messed around with them many times in San Carlos. Yes, both in the ocean and on a dinner plate!

I **was** coming this weekend, until I just looked at Buoyweather. Yellow flagged Fri, Sat, Sun into next week, SE winds predicted at 15-21 knots, seas at least 3 ft. every 4 seconds. Makes for a very miserable boat ride. My guess is some of those yellow flags are likely to go red, rather...

Last time I checked, they were charging $4 a foot, based on the length of your trailer. That's storage, not slip fees. Those are different. A launch and recovery at Safe Marine typically runs me about $50. That includes $5 for parking and $5 for a flush and quick rinse when they pull the boat...

Correct, VHF Channel 26, which was hosted by the Cholla Bay Sportsman's Club was taken out of service by the Mexican Navy because they said the drug runners were using it. It was the ONLY station in Penasco that had a repeater, which provided a lot more radio range for those of us who head out...

Registration is fine. Generally, nothing is asked for the vehicle you are driving. If, however, you are towing a trailer with ATVs, jetskis, boat, etc., you are often asked for the titles for those vehicles in order to prove ownership.

I didn't read about it - the information came via a phone call from a friend that was down fishing this past weekend. In a nutshell, I was told that someone was fishing by Bird Island and his boat was confiscated because he was violating a nature reserve. It cost him $5000 to get his boat back...

I don't have any details on the boat confiscation -- was just something I heard this morning, so don't know any more than what I posted. So, as far as the dispatchio - we always fill one out at Safe Marine before we launch. Name and number of the boat, owner address, names and age of all on...

Can any of you confirm this - I was just told by someone out fishing this weekend that the Mexican Navy was checking all boats leaving the harbor for proper paperwork. I also heard that a boat that was fishing by the island was impounded for violating some sort of "Reserve" status at the island...

Nice catch all the way around! You kept those little peanut dorado? I take it they were schoolies that were hanging around the boat? You boys need to try some trolling for the bigger models! I plan on doing it this weekend if Buoyweather looks at all decent. Did you see any sargasso or weed...

Daddy Tyler!!!! Congrats!

As said, the 2-day is free, the 7-day is like $99 a year. I have a subscription. Overall, the accuracy is good in the 2 day range, but like the weather itself, changes during the 7 day. Where I find it useful is looking at trends and for trip planning, not so much specific accuracy in a...

Thanks, Inka. It was this post - can you all not see it? Sometimes my Mod view is different than y'all. http://www.rockypointtalk.net/showthread.php?2274-Article-from-Defrente-Newspaper-July-7-2010 Inka - still trying to figure out the sig thingie. Will let you know what I come up with. As...

/me needs a new Daiwa SLD30 two-speed! The blue/black ones! I've been drooling over those for months now.

Look at the thread a couple of posts down. It has the link. Was posted yesterday, but fell into the Moderation queue. I just released it.

True that. Holding the shutter button halfway down often lets the camera automatically adjust for a better shot. I've got two digital cameras - an older Kodak Easy Share camera and a Nikon D-80. The Kodak does the "button halfway down" thing. The Nikon does its adjusting and autofocus through...

There ya go! New camera ahoy! Yes, I was referring to the pictures. Most digital cameras have a setting for Fill Flash. Easy to set (generally). What it does is provide just enough flash to fill in the dark areas like the ones in the pics you posted so that you can see people's faces, details...

Damn, Rosie!! I'm crying here! I just sent $2500 to a barrister in the Congo who was about to wire me 4.5 million dollars from someone he said was my dead uncle!! You mean... it might be a scam?? I had everything packed and was ready to move to Rocky Point! Seriously though, the scam you...

Two words -- "fill flash." Learn it, use it! Silly beach girl... :lol: :cluck:

Thank you Rosy! Glad we got to read what really happened and why.
