How many Nomads remember seeing this?
I am debating making this a guess when and where game or just seeing who remembers...?
ViaBaja knows the answer, so I will ask him to hold back.
Hmmm... okay, lets give it a try:
1) When did this shrimp boat get here/ what event helped?
2) Where is this site (exactly)?
3) What happened to it (it isn't there anymore)?
4) When did it vanish (approx.)?

After checking out the shrimp boat we walked back to our Wagoneer only to find it not wanting to start!
My mom looks discouraged... the tide's coming in!
Why won't it start... was the shrimp boat cursed? Is it simply "A JEEP THING"?
Is this like what happens to people at El Tomatal (see http://vivabaja.com/et )?
Anyone remember my story about this?

Here's my mom with another typical double hook up of corbina on the sandy shore of what later would be called Bahia Santa Maria...

Baja Nerd.....ABSOLUTLY! And thank- you for that!
David, you just keep being the "Baja Nerd" that you are accused of (GO BAJA NERDS!)
Lead me in to the canyons, lead me into the valleys, lead me to the Missions.........drag my lazy butt on a "lost mission hunt" UGH!....scare the
crap out of me to a copper mine (well, that was REALLY SCARY!, don't know if I could do that one again, those heights really got my blood pumping, and
tears flowing.....thank-you for backing me down, and understanding my terror........You are a true friend,
Mean people suck!

Wasn't there a story of a shrimp boat who tried to get into the Laguna Salada..or am I confusing it with stories of Baja lore? Looks like the Salada
or the Colorado Delta...???

Steve, that's a good legend! Go to DesertUSA.com and you should find some stories about the desert pearls and Spanish galleon in the desrt!
Frank, you win with most creative answer!!!
Seriously... the event was the chubasco that slammed San Felipe in 1967...
The boat was washed into the new lagoon the hurricane created that changed the 'Shell Peninsula' into Shell Island. We used to drive right up to the
Percebu lagoon entrance from Nuevo Mazatlan, after going around the bay that later would be named Bahia Santa Maria.
After that storm, a new lagoon and a boat sitting way in there.
They kept it locked up for some time, hoping a big tide would float it back out... Never happened!
The boat started being taken apart... One of the last things remaining after the wood was gone was the Franklin Diesel motor... About 1985 is when it
vanished... there may be some parts still out on the salt flats?

Looks like somebody was deleting posts... Maybe the Nomad forum won't have personal name calling anymore? I don't think JZ calling me a nerd was too
vicious, however.
Lets all just be nice to each other, afterall we all love Baja, right?

You could say that I love Baja but I am trying to prolong the LUST stage as long as possible.
30 years and counting !!

It was last full in the late 70's for about 10 years or so...
I have a 1930 map that shows it full of water, but that may not be accurate... Could be a good research project!
