What's an Eastern break? I didn't think there was surfing on the SOC.

Cool video, JZ! I remember Guillermo telling me about all the rattlesnakes on the island and that when he overnights out there, that he sleeps on the boat!

That Sir was very cool. It reminded me of the my very first trip to Bay of LA many many years ago. Pristine, uncrowded full of life. Thanks.

I actually had to argue with him a bit to take us to the cove we camped in. I put my foot down and glad I did, as all of this was shot in 24hrs and a bunch of it from where we camped. He did sleep on the boat, across the bay off one of the small islands. In the AM my MX friend climbed the hill and looked over to where he was supposed to be anchored and the boat was gone. I was mildly worried, but figured he was out fishing early. It took about an hour, but we got a hold of him on the radio. I did make a mental note of how much water we had because my kid told me when we were driving out about a story he read of 2 guys walking around the island for a week plus before one of them was rescued.

My neighbors and I want to do that. Did you have any problems with bugs?

Nice video!

In August of 2001 my wife and I towed our 21 ft Potter built Seacraft to LA Bay. We stayed at Raquel and Larry’s and launched from the Villa Vita ramp.
We spent 2 nights out at La Guardia with one at Este Ton and the other at Refugio.

At that moment in time the offshore islands were a known stop for the Sinaloa folks and there had been reports of wrong place at the wrong time happenings. I was not overly concerned but kept my eyes open.
We caught dorado every day, we snorkeled, beach combed and generally goofed off the whole time. The one dorado we kept daily was grilled nightly while on the hook and was delicious.



While snorkeling near Isolote we were visited by the Navy. My wife was freaking out as the skiff and the boys with guns came up to us quickly. I had noticed then Navy frigate earlier and was not surprised when they sent the skiff to visit.

Later my wife asked why I was so calm. Simple I said, “When the military is here they are not.” She asked who are they? I just smiled and said it doesn’t matter because they are not here.

I never did tell her about the then recent incident of “them” running out of fuel and holding a fisherman hostage near Refugio while his companion and his boat went back to LA Bay for fuel for “them.” It all ended safely for everyone that time but it was not something my wife needed to fret about.

The beach combing on the northern point is awesome and the sea lion colony out there is the loudest party I have ever heard. All night long they went on and on and sleeping was difficult.

We used to drag our boats all over Baja and spent the night at many a place on the hook. Refugio is one place we will always remember. Thanks for reminding us!
