Navy boarding
 

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.

If the US Navy boarded a boatload of Mexicans, it would be considered
racism.

Joe, or is it Joe, Joe, Joe...

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.

Damn Jon, you sailed some of the best fishing grounds on earth and
did not catch any fish.......Bummer.
