a crazy,dog hating exiled forum member used the term to warn that they built two towers too many at a project named after said bird. on this project I think it remains to be seen how this works, The political parties are both not in lock step,the Governor has raised taxes on the working man who is not too happily about it and with only a forth of the money on the table,no environmental blessing,no thought about border waits or the massive tide changes effects on sand movement....well I think it will be a wild and crazy ride

All this dog hater did was use a term used in mexico to describe a tower " Pichonera" which means pigeon coop, and he became a hero to some for it.

. Read the first article..interesting....what is Cedo saying? As I remember they stopped the pier in 2009 because of reef damage issues. Not saying it is not the way to go but this is not a for sure winner
Not that anyone cares what I think, but I've decided I'm anti-home port after seeing the pictures posted on the Port's Facebook page. The negatives outweigh the benefits. I just wish they could find a way to help the local economy without all the negative side effects that this will bring.

I hope to be selling white castle toilet paper dispensers around the area!
Yeah, I guess if it's going to happen one way or the other, we might as well figure out how to make some money from it, right? Maybe I'll go the tried and true route: "Your Name on a Grain of Rice".

Not a fan of this project, The places I have been that have cruise ships are brutal with, the locals being in your face with whatever they are hustling. That's relaxing.
It's not fun for people like us, but you can't blame the locals for wanting to make $$$. I feel very conflicted over this whole thing, although the route looks fantastic. I'm not a cruise fan in the least - went once, never wanted to go again, but I'd love a Sea of Cortez cruise with the stops it looks like they're going to make.

Santo Tomas is getting ready to offer discounted lots to Old School Cholla Bay residents that want to move to a pristine beach area.

Brokenwave, since Guaymus is set up to fuel big boats, I understand the cruise ships will take on fuel there. Sorry, I posted under the wrong message.
I hope they do fuel up in Guaymas. The drawings of the port show 3 giant fuel storage tanks -looks really ugly.

I heard Guaymus the other day, sometimes where there's smoke there's fire....but not always.

Full price, of course.
I'm excited about the home port. But besides the environmental concerns, there are archaeological sites dating back at least 5000 years with invaluable intact buried deposits spread across the route of the the proposed canal. No reason to halt the project, but the data on the peninsula's firsties should be recovered in advance. Yeah, I have an archaeological firm that could do it, so full disclosure there. Just want to see INHA or any other archaeologists taking care of that irreplaceable human record in advance.

people in other parts of Sonora that are seeing their taxes go up and the money used for questionable projects like this one or flat out graft also hate it is called"home port".
Why?
