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.

Did you catch any of thoses giant man attacking squids in the sea of
Cortez?
Did the permits cover squids and langosta? What did the permits cost?
How was the fishing?

Not sure what you're referring to. Didn't fish, but were required to carry
the permits. It was included in the rental, so no extra charge.

The Sea of Cortez is famous for it's giant squids...the place if full
of them. If you fall overboard they have been know to get into a
frenzy and eat people. Each of it's arms are covered with suckers and
razor sharp teeth. Excellent spiced up, floured and fried.
