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
boat captain didn't make a big stink about it. Safer that way.

To some people your wrong even when you're right.

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
commander in person and offered to buy the required permit for cash on
the barrelhead.

Then again, knowing the lawlessness that goes on, the sportfishers
money could be considered a bribe. and...well... you take it for there.

That's why it's important to make the offer in private. The choice
of words and the proper deference is also important. Everything is
for sale south of the border.


Absolutely true. You just say something along the lines of "can I buy
that permit from you"? If you are really a boy scout, record the
transaction on your cell phone, from the safety of the US, file a
complaint, then stay out of Mexico.


Everything is for sale north of the U.S.-Mexican border, too.

Some places, some of the time, but it's not imbedded in the culture
here like it is there.
