 January 10-16 Todos Santos Music Festival  :                                http://journaldelpacifico.com/blog/2012/09/19/todos-santos-music-festival-2013/
=======================================

 
BAJA NIGHT SKIES -- Week of January 12/13, 2013: New Moon, the moment the moon is invisible between the earth and the sun, occurred Friday around 1pm. For the next few nights, a thin crescent moon will hang low in the southwest after sunset. On Saturday and Sunday evenings between 6 and 7 pm, see if you can spot The Red Planet Mars just below the crescent moon. With the crescent moon setting between 7pm and 11pm for the next 4 or 5 nights, we should have dark skies, and if they are free of clouds and artificial light, excellent star gazing conditions.  Connect the "horns" of the crescent moon with an imaginary bow string, load an arrow and shoot. Your arrow is headed directly at the sun which is below the horizon. I wonder if this sight inspired the invention of the bow and arrow? By 7pm this week, the Winter Circle/Hexagon of stars will have risen in the southeast sky. Learning the names and locations of these stars will enable you to "star hop"  to nebula, other galaxies, and star clusters using just the naked eye or binoculars. Start with Aldebaran in Taurus, which is just below Jupiter, the brightest star-like object currently in the eastern evening sky. Continue down to Rigel, the right foot/knee of Orion. Nearby, under Orion's belt, try to find the great green Orion Nebula, an active star factory. From Rigel drop down to Sirius, the second brightest object after Jupiter. Just below Sirius is the open star cluster M41, easily seen through binoculars. From Sirius head east to Procyon of science fiction fame. This leg takes you across a spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy, rich with stars through binoculars. Sirius, Procyon and Betelgeuse (the red left hand/arm of Orion) form the Winter Triangle. The final three sides go from Procyon northwest to Pollux and Castor in Gemini,  then west to Capella in Auriga, and finally back down to Aldebaran. Just to the west of Jupiter is the open star cluster known as The Pleiades or seven sisters. Binoculars reveal many more stars in this cluster. The bright morning "star" Venus  is rising later each morning as it heads towards a rendezvous  with the sun. Soon it will disappear in the sun's glare, then reappear in the west as the evening star.    Tom S.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

Discussion:  Car Break-ins  -  There were more comments sent to the BPE but rather than take up half the BPE, I think the message is very clear................

a.  Thursday as well I have a friend who was at Cerritos Beach in my RV the RV got broke into as well while they where 100 yards away at the beach. This was a professional job they used a tool that pops the lock clean and pulls it out. They took a purse and a Ipad. Be very careful right now.

FISHING REPORTS - Local's fishing reports do NOT need to be signed. 
 

a.  Just in from Eric Brictson of Gordo Banks Pangas in San Jose. If you read the Bajafisherman.com Cabo report-you’d have read a piece about the fleet’s chasing them (successfully) down there. Now’s our chance!!! If you chase them too, send me a report at wadeinthewater2@gmail.com

 

“The tuna pens I believe are headed towards the La Paz area. They should be about off Los Frailes today (Friday), should be in your range for the next few days and might come closer to shore as they track towards La Paz? Normally they run about 20 miles from shore and have lots of small yellowfin and mixed sized dorado following the pens.

After spending a long day on the beach we all were hosted to a great dinner at Buena Vista Beach Resorts. With our dinner a rocking reggae band kept the competitors and community entertained.

On tap for Saturday is the conclusion of slalom racing followed by the very exciting freestyle. Freestyle is a combination of tricks, spins, jumps and whatever impresses the judges.

Tonight Saturday join us for a pig roast courtesy of Palmas de Cortez. At 6;30 pm dinner will start and and then dance the night away under the stars.

Sunday is the premier events starting with Big Air where our competitors try to stay in the air the longest and followed by the signature event the Lord of the Wind Showdown. The Showdown pits kiteboarders against windsurfers to determine who is the Lord of the Wind.
