I also knew Marlin. I always felt that he was more comfortable with creatures from the wild, than he was with people.

I checked out the Academic Film Archive of North America website. Loads of really interesting films about lots of different subjects.

Great idea..............Maybe someone that lives close can get a copy? What a great educational tool for the children! Also for kids in San Jose and
Los Cabos!
Mean people suck!

How interesting!! Steinbeck's "Log to the Sea of Cortez" makes comments about Cape San Lucas and the fish cannerie. My dad unloaded tuna at the
cannerie back in the early '50s'. Things have changed.

My friends and I often went to Ensenada in the early 50's, and it pretty much looked like it did in this flic. First time in Cabo was in the early
'70's and tho it did not look that primitive, it sure looked different than today.
Great movie, Jesse-------brings back many good memories-------
Thank you.

Even in 1975, when Highway 1 from La Paz was paved, Cabo had only 5 streets, and the marina had not yet been dug.
The Finisterra and Twin Dolphins were already built then.
I remember getting stuck in the deep sand 1/2 mile from the beach on the dead end road into the desert which is now Hwy 19.
That's the year Sr. Rivera paid the Mayor of Cabo the outrageous sum of $25,000 to purchase the entire Pedregal mountain. The village elders thought
he was NUTS! Now a building lot with 45 degree slope goes for over a million.
A guy named Chuy owned the Hotel Hacienda property, and that's where the turistas camped under the palms around a natural hotspring. Chuy would bring
you iced Carta Blanca beer, boiled camarones in a bucket, and even roll you a fattie, while you relaxed in the hotspring. This all went on your
camping bill.
No wonder I have such fond memories of Cabo!
