Spring – a time of renewal - Amigos Appreciation Day - Come celebrate the arrival of spring at Spa Buena Vista Beach Resort on March 21 from 4 – 6. A time of renewal, this inaugural Amigos de Spa Club Appreciation Day is open to all and an opportunity to buy or renew Spa memberships while sampling some of the new additions to our Snack Menu and enjoy an extended Happy Hour that day. Working with Ameri-Med, we’ll also be taking suggestions for future Spa “Preparedness” seminars such as Fishermen’s First-Aide, AED training etc. If you’ve never experienced a day at our pool, swim up bar and hot tub, join us on this free “Pool Day” and learn about all of the great deals, benefits and discounts our neighboring amigos enjoy! We offer different membership plans so bring your towel, check out the pool and facilities and then stay for the celebration. If you have plans to attend the play that night, it’s just a ½-mile stroll up the beach afterwards. RSVPs requested by Tuesday, March 19 pr@hotelbuenavista.com
====================================================

     There will be an Iron Man Triathalon in San Jose and Cabo on Sunday, March 17th, and we were warned that they are closing one lane of Highway 1 between San Jose and Cabo San Lucas that day for the bicycle and running portions of the race. Unless you want to watch the race, it is a good day to stay away from that area. Also, San Jose Days are this weekend with their parade with floats and classic cars on Tuesday the 19th. Parade forms at Mega, goes past the Hotels on the beach, then downtown, and ends at the Baseball Field, where they will also have many music groups performing.
     Meanwhile in La Paz… there is a Classic Car Parade on Saturday on the Malecon starting around 5:30PM, and a Classic Car Show on Sunday at the Park across the Malecon from 16 September. There are always some great cars to see there.
======================================================

'Care and Share' on Friday is cancelled until sometime in April. Watch for the new date. My apologies for the short notice.  sunsetmorghan@yahoo.com
=======================================

Baja Night Sky - Comet Update for Friday, March 15: Sky and Telescope Magazine is calling Comet Panstarr  "a spec, not a spectacle."  It has turned out to be difficult to locate, with  only a 15 to 20 minute window to find it, and most people will need to use binoculars. Still, it's not every evening that we can see a visitor from the outer reaches of the solar system, so if you can find a location with a dark sky and clear view of the horizon or mountains to the west, you have a week or two to find it. Mark the spot where the sun sets. Forty-five minutes later (about 6:50pm in El Sargento), begin to scan the horizon just to the north of the sunset point. Sweep back and forth, moving up about a fist's width as you scan. You have 20 to 25 minutes before the comet sets, and each night it sets farther north. If there is still a crescent moon high in the west, the comet is far below it and slightly to the north. Geraint Smith, a photographer in New Mexico, could not find the comet Wednesday evening, but he still took the spectacular photo at http://earthsky.org/tonight/moon-comet-panstarrs-in-western-sky-after-sunset-march-14.ohann     I asked him how he did it. If you have a digital camera give it a try. About 50 minutes after sunset, have the camera on a tripod, or on a pillow on the top of a car, wall, or table with a good view of the horizon from the sunset point north. If you have an M (manual) setting, set the  aperture at f8, ISO at 400, shutter at 6 seconds (experiment with 1 to 8 or so), and focus at infinity. Eliminate any foreground using a minimum of telephoto if available. After taking the photo, Geraint used photo software to increase the contrast.
=========================================
