In my opinion the Art Festival was perfect.  Thank you Jamie, Kathy, Debbie, the members of the The Asociacion de Artes del Mar de Cortez and volunteers who worked their buns off yesterday! Cheryl

Next big event, the BOCCE TOURNAMENT  -  Thursday, April 14th at Colina del Sol.
===============================

TELMEX  -  Courtesy of The Ventana View  -  Our neighbors to the north

a.  Procedure for cancelling your Telmex DSL service is as follows:
You must return your modem to your local Telmex office when you no longer desire service. At that time, you request that your service be discontinued, and Telmex will cancel service and no longer invoice you until you re-connect, if desired. Be sure to get a receipt for returning the modem and discontinuing service. You will no loonger be charged for DSL, but you must continue paying for phone service or lose your phone number. This is the only way to cancel. If you do not return your modem, you will continue to be charged for the service. To speak to a Telmex rep on the phone, dial 01-800-123-2222 and press the appropriate extension #. I do this every year.  Jeff
  
b.  Checking Telmex.com.mx, and a survey of BajaPonyExpress.com readers found the following:  There are three phone/Internet plans: 1Mb, 2Mb and 5Mb speeds with increasing local and long distance benefits and  with monthly fees respectively  of $389, $599 and $999 (pesos). Last year many, if not all, telmex subscribers were automatically switched to the $599 plan without their consent. By registering at Telmex.com.mx you can go online and switch back to the $389 plan which will probably meet the needs of  most users.  Discontinuing  phone/internet services while you are not in Mexico runs the risk of losing your phone number and DSL connection. Some people successfully discontinued just internet services and were able to have them started again with a wait of only a few days. At least one person reported doing this but then had to wait 2 months to get reconnected to the net. It appears the best solution might be to stay connected during your absence but be sure you are on the $389 plan. If someone has found a more economical solution please let  ventana.view@gmail.com know.   Tom S.
=========================================


My Friends have been busy trying to find a home for the puppy they have rescued .and was supposed to go Cape Cod next week !
unfortunately due to personal reasons they can't take her so they have 2 weeks to find a new home before they leave to Europe
I have got some pictures  of the puppy "Mouse "  and am not sure how to post them correctly on the PBA,so i have attached them !
Here is some information about her:
She is about a year old, about a foot high. She is spayed and has all her shots. She is a little bit timid as special towards men, but once she knows you a real cuddler. She's young so playful.
She was living on the beach for quite some time. People had been trying to feed her and capture her but with no result before she ran into her foster "mother". She was very skinny but healthy.  She has been checked by the vet and spaded !
My friend really want to be sure she goes to a loving home so to people who are really serious.
If anybody is interested they can mail to marlieskruyer@hotmail.com, finchvanderzwet@hotmail.com or call number 6241163823.
Let me know if i should do anything differently to pass out this message with pictures!
Thank you

a.  A message from Dr. Mary, your chiropractor...  Sadly this is my last week here this trip.  I'll be at the office for regular hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00 to 4:00.  Turn away from the Sea at the cemetery arch-3rd one on the right.  Otherwise, call or e-mail for other times.  No appointment necessary, but is appreciated.  141-0368-home and 970-275-3226 US cell  Thank you for using my services this season.  

b.  The fishing has definitely been picking up, along with an abundance of sea life to be seen right now! Turtles, California greys, humbacks, porpoise and thousands of rays are being sighted everyday. There are good numbers of Marlin being found at 20-30 miles, as well as some nice dodos! Long time RBV captain Jose (Pato) told me that he hooked and landed 2 large yellowtail while trolling 25 miles offshore last week! Something that he has never seen in his 40 some years on the water...
     There are always fish to be caught, if you chase what is biting that is!  In the last week we have boated amberjack, yellowtail, pargo, many sierra and countless skippys.  One pargo weighed in at over 10 kg.  NONE of these fish were caught trolling or on live bait!  Don't believe it? Give us a call or shoot us an email and we'll talk fishing.  Los Cabos Adventures and Pursuit Anglers fly-fishing have teamed up to provide outstanding and unique angling experiences.  Join us for a day on our beautiful 23' super panga or fish in luxury on the 37' Egg Harbor yacht En Caliente.  Our captains are expert local fisherman and excel in light tackle jigging and fly-fishing.   Contact Larry Cooper or Joshua Martz at 624-15-47448 or email to josh@pursuitanglers.com.
