============================================

The Bisbee begins! The first of the traveling boats - the ‘Battleships’, are coming up from Cabo and San Jose, anchoring out in front of the beautiful Hotel Buena Vista. The East Cape fleet is readying itself to compete. Tuesday afternoon and evening are sign ups at the hotel followed by the Captain’s Meeting, aka a fiesta! All are welcome to come and enjoy the festivities. Wednesday morning, 7 am, the start gun flare will send off the fleet. Lines out of the water are at 4 pm, fish must be weighed by 7 pm. Thursday and Friday the fishing schedule continues and Saturday evening the Awards banquet will be held shoreside on the sand at the hotel. Stay tuned!
================================================

When we have a partial electric failure as we did last night that precautions must be taken to protect your electrical equipment. Refrigerators, fans, A/C´s, etc. must be unplugged as they will try and start on the feeble current in the lines and most likely burn out or be damaged. The safest is to cut the power to the house until the problem has been fixed by the CFE. Of course in a total power outage they have already disconnected your house for you.  Dennis
==================================

 “Cut the cord” in the USA- That means you are unplugging the old fashioned phone line, cable or satellite company. Here's what you need to make that happen. “Free over the Air TV” like we had as kids offers far better resolution than Cable or Satellite. You don't need a huge external antenna like Mom had. Antennaweb.org will tell you what stations you will receive and what antenna you need. Channel Master and Tivo offer digital recorders that will allow you to record over the air TV shows for playback at a later time. Tivo requires a subscription for their TV Guide; Channel Master does not. An Internet connection is essential to cord cutters. In most cases, you can purchase “bare” internet from your cable company or DSL providers. The phone companies don't like it but if you press them, it may available. With the internet connection you have access to Netflix, Hulu (TV Network media), Amazon Prime Movies and a host of others. Those providers and others are available on Smart TV's as well as Set Top Boxes like Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Kindle Fire and many others. That's a lot of content! News programs are widely available on those Set Top Boxes.

“Cutting the Phone Cord” You can purchase a wireless home phone system from Straight Talk available at WalMart for $15 per month. The device cost $70 and will plug into your existing phone system. It runs on the Verizon wireless network. For $15 per month you get unlimited local and long distance phone calls.

New Cell phone carrier - There's a new player on the block for cheap cell phone service called Republic Wireless. They have plans as cheap as $5 per month – WiFi service only. But, if you want unlimited calling, text and unlimited 3G data, it will cost you $25 per month. It's non-contract and you can change your plan when your needs change. Here's how it works. You must purchase one of the three phones from Republic Wireless that are unsubsidized. The phones are from Motorola (a division currently owned by Google) and all three are very good phones using the latest Android system. When you are in your home, the phone will use your WiFi signal for calls, data and text. When you venture outside, the phone will seamlessly change to the Cell Towers. The only possible downside is that Republic uses the Sprint network. According to the Republic web site FAQs, the phone will work to make calls from your WiFi in Mexico back to the US or Canada. Again, according to their web site, it will receive calls when in your WiFi environment in Baja. It will not work on the cell system outside the US Sprint Network.

Cancel the Cable/Satellite save $110, land line save $25, AT&T Cell save $80, total savings: $225
Add Netflix $10, Hulu Plus $10, Republic Wireless $25, Straight Talk $15 total $60
