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. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
