FISHING UPDATES - What did you catch
yesterday?
a. We were out yesterday. I have gotten
several reports of Broadbill sightings which has me fired up
Gary Graham calls it swordie fever and I have it bad.
Anyway, I couldn't find that broadbill.
Was it a tough day? I'd say no. A
tough day would be to not see a fish all day and know your
chances of catching one are between slim and none. Today we
had 5 legitimate shots at billfish and 1 huge dorado. We
also sighted 20 to 40 pound yellowfin tuna feeding, humpback
whales breeching, what I think was a pod of risso's dolphin,
countless bottle nose dolphin, pacific white-sided dolphin,
sea turtles, giant pacific manta rays jumping and California
sea lions. The only thing that could have been better would
be if we would have had a fish in our fish box for dinner.

nicest boats on the East Cape? Check out:

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
RIDES
FOR PEOPLE, STUFF and CARAVANS -
Repeated for 3 days then you may resubmit in
7days
a. Traveling via the Baja Ferries from La
Paz mid May 2011 and looking for someone to caravan with
through Nogales and points north California, Arizona. I
speak fluent Spanish and would be happy to help translate if
needed. Since the ferry arrives to Topolobampo late at
night, there is the Hotel Marina and Restaurant for an over
night and leave the next day for the border. About 120 miles
south of the Nogales border crossing there is a junction
that takes you to Mexico 3 and crosses the border at
Mexacali and Tecate for people traveling to California and
points northwest.
I travel with 2 nice dogs and stay at
pet friendly motels/hotels. I do believe its pretty safe
crossing any of the borders, it just always seems better
safety in numbers. Please feel to email or call me,
sea00nymph@yahoo.com, 624-141-0332 and let me know if
this works with your plans to caravan back to Arizona or
California via the Baja Ferries. (3-29)
b. Boogie Board to Oregon or Washington:
I have a boogie board in bag with few items that I need to

Exvotes(Retablos)and other Paintings
by
SEDDON WYLDE
I will be showing my new Exvoto Paintings at the Arts Festival
in Los Barriles on April 3rd.
This Mexican Folk Art is a tradition of giving thanks to
someone (usually a Saint) for a miracle (milagro).
My theme this year is animals! For example, the Rooster tells
the hen they must give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the
miracle that the farmer is a vegetarian. This painting is sold but
come see
what the cow, the dove, the whale and the goat have to be thankful
for!
I will also be showing my small watercolours and some paintings
by Jeff Heintzman.
