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.
