Did I mention we were boarded by the Mexican Navy while in Baja... very
interesting experience. They came along side with a skiff... eight
sailors
(all toting M-16s or similar) and the officer with a sidearm. Very
professional. We were the only boat in sight... with Moorings plastered
all
over, so it was pretty obvious we were charterers. The officer and one
crew
came aboard, while the others stayed on the skiff.

The officer asked to see the boat documentation, but was mostly
interested
in the fishing permits (up-to-date) courtesy of the Moorings. His English
wasn't that great, but basically they were looking for poachers. After
several attempts he accepted some water for himself and his crew... damn
hot
day.

Every time I entered Mexican waters we were boarded. Show them
papers, give them soda, smokes, and playboy magazines, and they are
happy as can be....no problemo.

PS don't let them find your M-16's unless you want to do hard time.

They were reluctant to accept anything from us. It was such a warm day, that
they finally relented and took the bottled water.
