QUESTIONS

a. Does anyone have any current information about taking dogs on the ferry from Los Mochis to LaPaz? I know that the crossing is at night, but is it cool enough in the hold for the dogs? Is it really 6 hours? And how much extra time are the dogs in the car? Will I be able to leave my windows open a crack for air? Thanks for any help!!! Mary and Eddy
