Thats what makes Baja great, people who think like you wont go.

I sure hope he in in conact with someone. Everything is probably fine but when you see no movement it gets me worried.

Change of Plans

This is the first update I've been able to make. As you can see, I've changed course somewhat. This was due to high surf and an extremely heavy kayak. After several reductions in equipment and supplies, I was still very heavy. Much too heavy to deal with surf. Unfortunately, the Sea of Cortez side has some extreme heat and its own challenges. Currently catching lots of grouper in Punta Buffeo.

Well no reports again and now it seems, at least for me, nothing on the SPOT site. I certainly hope he is OK.

I think his SPOT died. He posted on his personal site that all was fine , so it leaves me to believe that all is fine . With the powers that be he is still doing well and moving forward and onward .For the Nay sayers.Mex is a journey for those with the heart ,soul ,and intestinal fortitude of a warrior. I feel that his personal strenght will allow him to complete the task at hand .Give your blessings gentlemen for faith will see him through these travels.

So it seems he spent a bit of time in the Bufeo area and the island. The thing I don't get and perhaps this is a SPOT thing. If I am looking at it right, he has traveled over 80 miles in 24 hours. From Isla San Luis to the North end of Bahia De Los Angeles. That is a long way in that amount of time.
