The law was almost 5 years obsolete but the Mexican authority didn't
think so.


I really wouldn't want to be down there anyhow. *At least the fishing

It's possible that the charter captain did not realize how the legal
system works south of the border. * He should have met with the navy

for sale south of the border.
