My bueno Amigo has been in the Philipines for the last few years and is back for a short while. Many of you might remember him from the old Amigo's
de Baja board.
Ross was nice enough to let me fish with him on his beautiful boat in San Lucas Cove several years back. I was nice enough to repay him by dropping
one of his custom wrapped fishing poles into the bay. All turned out well however, I had to stay an extra week to hunt for the pole, which I
eventually found, and ended up meeting my future wife during that week. Who wooda thunk it?

Here is Ross in the doorway of Mision Santa Maria when he and Rose joined us in April 2003. Many more photos of chicagoross and Rose at http://vivabaja.com/403
Hopefully they will join us when we return there in July to help to try and stop the erosion on each side of the doorway... seen in the photo.
It was good when Ross emailed me a few weeks ago asking where all the Amigos went, and I gave him the link to Nomad.
Welcome 'home' Ross!

I'm supposed to haul the family back to PI mid June, which means the American jeep won't get to go on the "worst road in Baja" with David K and
friends...too bad. That's a Great road!!! anyone that wants a fun ride and great scenary...too bad. David, you'd get a kick out of my PI jeep -
Willy's license built CJ3B made by Mitsubishi with a deisel engine - I get 26 mpg on diesel, never came close to that before for a real four wheel
drive, would be great for Baja! Rose and I are still trying to get a week or more in fishing at SLC now that the dorado are showing, were supposed to
leave Thursday but maybe next week now...the gear is stacked and sorted in the garage ready to load in the taco. Me no, the Taco was NOT "too pretty
for Baja", worked just fine last month!

Good to hear from you Ross... Hope you get south before heading back to the PIs... Is San Miguel beer any good?
We are going to Shell Island for Memorial Day weekend... bring surf fishing rigs!

Surfer Jim. As you may know the bay that San Lucas RV park sits next to is only about 10 ft. deep. I had to wait until a calm day at slack tide.
When the conditions were perfect I borrowed a friends boat and went out and looked around. Bingo there it was. I had made a grappling hook out of a
4 oz lead head and just had to let it down and reel her in. Bill and Bonnie were also out looking for it at the same time with scuba gear. They own
the boat storage/repair shop where Ross was keeping his boat.
yo, Ross - bien venidos

Jolly Roger still?
