WATER UPDATE:  8:30am - note from Dennis:  The main Los Barriles pump (arroyo)  is down and has been taken to La Paz.  City center will not be affected much but all areas north of the arroyo will be on limited water with some of the higher areas without. System should be back to normal by Thursday.
The Telmex outage over the weekend was due to vandalism of all the grounding wires from the sub-station which caused serious damage during the power failures.  Regards,  Dennis


(I apologize for not giving more details yesterday.  Again I reminded not everyone lives in LB!  )

============================================.

The whales are traveling south and come into our shallow coves and coastline to rest. I would remind everyone of Whale Watching Guidelines to stay at least 150ft off of any whale and any marine mammal and not to cut their path at any time. That's 1/2 of a football field folks! They become stressed when crowed by kayaks, swimmers, SUPs, and of course motorized boats. This means that in addition to feeling threatened, they will not surface to breath at regular intervals which for obvious reasons hurts them, nor be able to rest in these waters as needed and become much more susceptible to shark and Orca attacks off of Cabo Pulmo as they journey around. I watched from shore today as an already distressed Grey Whale tried to swim close to shore to rest and was harassed by the "curious" of Agua de la Costa in Kayaks, SUPs and Boats. Please realize that your actions have adverse affects on these great creatures. Thanks.  tahoartist@yahoo.com
===========================================

ATTENTION:  On Wednesday, April 17th, at 6:00 PM, the Amigos de Animales of La Ribera will be having their annual Bean Soup Dinner at La Trinidad Restaurant in La Ribera.  Please join us for an evening of food and fun.  We will be having our wonderful raffle again with many prizes from local artists, artists from The Festival d'Artes, and local businesses.  The admission tickets are still only a $200 peso donation to our organization.  Help us help the animals.  For tickets, call Lynda at 130-0091, Debbie at 130-0316.  Tickets will also be available at Homes and Land of Baja in Los Barriles.

b.  Anybody know of a repair service for sit-on-top polyethylene plastic kayaks?  My Ocean Scrambler had a nasty fall after the wind blew it down from its storage rack couple days ago, and ended up with a ten inch long crack near the waterline.  Maybe somebody in LB or Buenavista has a suitable piece of plastic for a patch, and expertise in the kind of "soldering" or "welding" that you do for these things.  richard808 attt gee mail daht cahm
