Baja Night Sky - Week of March 10, 2013 -  Year of the Comet: Comet 2011 L4 Pan-STARRS, named after the asteroid-hunting Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System in Hawaii that discovered it, will be visiting the northern mid-latitudes  from March 7 to around March 20. The Cape Region is half in and half out of the mid-latitudes, the Tropic of Cancer extending eastward from Todos Santos to Cabo Pulmo being the dividing line. This is where the sun is directly overhead at noon on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. We should know by Monday if the comet is visible this far south. After a trip of  several millions years from the Oort Cloud at the far reaches of our solar system, the chunk of gravel and ice, several miles in diameter, makes its closest pass around the sun Sunday, March 10, and is not likely to show up again for 100,000 years or so. Southern Hemisphere observers watched its arrival; we get to watch its departure. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings may be the best time to try to catch it about an hour after sunset. On Tuesday, the comet will be just to the left of a day-old crescent moon in the west, and on Wednesday it will be under the moon. Look for the million-mile-long tail (actually two of them) streaming eastward away from the sun. In El Sargento, the comet will set around 7pm behind the mountains to the west, so the best time to take a look will be from about 6:45 to 7pm. Once you spot it using binoculars, you should be able to see it with the unaided eye. For observers with a clear western ocean horizon, it will set about half an hour later. For the next few weeks, it sets later and farther to the north each evening until it is too dim to see. Another Comet, Ison, is expected to be visible during the day, and if it does not break up going around the sun, it could be the brightest in recorded history. It will makes its appearance around Thanksgiving this year.  There will be a spectacular two-minute-long total eclipse of the sun on the morning of August 21, along a 100km wide path stretching from Salem Oregon to Charleston on the East Coast.  But that's not until 2017, so start making plans.    Tom S.

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

ROAD REPORT

a.  Answer:  We drove that road two days ago; we did so to avoid the congestion between Ensenada and El Rosario. I also drove that road before it was paved; it was a genuine adventure then. The newly paved road is very good and is paved to 5 km north of Bahia Gonzaga. There’s a tall bridge that must be finished before the road is paved all the way. Be careful not to go too fast, as there are dips that may launch you into places you don’t expect.
We had lunch at the legendary Alfonsina’s restaurant/hotel. Despite being out in the wilds, prices were low, three nice tacos for USD$6. The dirt/gravel/rock road to Mex 1 is good for 50 MPH in places and in other sections, 5 MPH. The 36 miles took us about 90 minutes. In conversation with a local at Alfonsina’s, I learned that this section from Gonzaga Bay to Mex 1 may be paved this year. The encouraging sign is that we saw survey markers along the way, suggesting that the road will be paved soon.
Be sure to stop at Coco’s Corner and have a cold cerveza with the equally legendary CoCo, a delightful guy.
     I reduced the tire pressure on our F250 crew-cab from 60 PSI to 40 PSI; this helps reduce the high frequency chatter. We aired up again at a llantera in Vizcaino; I gave the guy MXN$20 for the air.
Gas up in San Felipe and then again at Jesus Maria Guerrero Negro or San Ignacio. Feliz viaje! Ron (East Cape)
