Yeah, I'm so old school... technology solves everything... uh-huh. The 23 ft. tide change is not something to be trifled with. Could they do it as it looks in the picture? Not likely. The only other option as I see it is having all loading, departures, arrivals, etc. coordinated to the tides. That's a real PITA, trust me. Spent a week in San Felipe one year and having to try and launch the boat at 3:00 am because that's when the high tide occurred. Otherwise, the ramps were dry and the ocean was out from them by nearly a mile!

Don't do me any favors as far as Hector goes, thanks!

Nice try Kenny, knowing the difference after the fact. That thing looks primitive as they come, maybe 70's.

What the hell you talking about dog? The truth is all any of us know for sure at this point is, it ain't no pier!

Here's a jetty that kicked all our butt's (no belly boards, body womping) and it's still breaking necks today. THE WEDGE.......The waves are a by-product of improvements to the groin (rock jetty) on the west side of the Newport Harbor entrance undertaken during the 1930s. When conditions are right, and a wave approaches the shore at the proper angle (most generally a south swell), an approaching wave will reflect off the jetty creating a second wave. The reflected wave meets up with the following wave of the set and forms a peak, and this pattern can repeat for several following waves as well.http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the wedge&qpvt=the wedge&FORM=VDRE

I sort of saw it being more like Cabo where you anchor out and tender in. When I went to PV one year on Mex Riviera cruise, the dock there was right at lands end it seemed like. Often wonder with the way the tides run in PP how they could dock without hitting bottom.

From all the information that's been provided. It will be a homeport. The fueling will be done in Guymas. There will be be room for three ships to dock at the same time. The facebook page offers some good informationa and concept drawings.

By definition a Home port needs the direct umbilical cord to land for fueling, cleaning and re stocking supplies and loading luggage filled tourists. None of this can be accomplished with Tenders.

So that makes the one at PV a home port.
It will be quiet a sight to see once its completed. Even with the concept drawings....I still can't see it. Maybe subconsciously I don't want to ;)

Talked to a booster of the project yesterday that had a positive take on it even if nothing ever launches.The money is in the pipe for a 4 lane road from the airport to the homeport,facilities for private planes are being improved,the coastal highway is being finished only because the homeport guys needed to do it as a trade off for support,the Sonoyta crossing/bypass will happen......then he went on to blow smoke about how thousands of Americans fed a 10 year diet of fear from Fox News will really drive to Mexico ,stay a week and cruise.....no way...

I wonder if the bypass would use the same port of entry in sonoyta or a new one outside of sonoyta. This seems like a lofty goal.

Probably just outside of Sonoyta like they with the Mariposa bypass crossing in Nogales. Easier to build a new one than to move all those houses right at the current crossing.

I think Sonoyta is one of the biggest reasons RP doesn't get the casual tourist. A bypass coupled with the new Sandy Beach route could really help. For whatever reason, poverty scares a lot of people and if it's kept out of sight, RP could really see some growth. My only concern with a bypass is whether I'll still be able to buy tortillas on the way back.

Sonoyta isn't so bad. All part of the charm of Mexico. Doesn't take very long to drive through it, just have to watch your speed. For those going down just for a day or 2 the new Super Ley Express is a quick & easy grocery stop. El Sarape, the tacos by Vasquez, the tortillaria, the ice cream places, all good. I don't see the point of spending a fortune to build a bypass. I would be more interested in hearing about the other route between Sonoyta & RP. Supposed to be a shorter & quicker route. I think it was Gillespie's old route.
