The part about the SAR insurance definitely eases the mind and makes me think it IS NOT AN EMERGENCY and it seems sending in a panga to find him is
the right thing to do. If we get the signal from his SPOT that he is actually hurt and in an emergency situation then I suggest those on his responder
list call his SAR insurance company or Celia Diaz at 619-425-5080 to organize a medi-vac. |
Once he hits the 911 button on his SPOT tracker, SPOT takes over and manages the SAR response worldwide through GEOS Alliance. The below is a message
(edited) I received from GEOS when I asked about SAR/Medivac from Baja.........
"I am the commanding officer of the International Emergency Response Coordination Center.
First, we have done a number of SAR in Baja. Aside from this we have for the past two years provided the exclusive rescue and security monitoring for
the Baja 1000 and 500.
In Baja we call the Mexican Rescue Coordination Center to report the initial incident, from there they will either take the call or direct it to the
State Police, typically dispatched from Mexicali or Ensenada......"
The costs for these services are paid from the SAR insurance purchased by the SPOT owner.

you'd think that came up while it was still on the drawing board. push this button 5 times quickly. pause for 10 seconds. repeat 5 times...... i can't
wait to hear what's really going on. at least all are safe! it seems like that pack of rabid coyotes will go hungry another day....

Boy, just think of the stories Don Kay will tell back at the corral!

Great...
I hope Graham checks in from San Ignacio to get the news... However, we do need the details from Punta San Carlos to see if Graham could be of
assistance there.

If we learn nothing else from this, we will have learned that better methods of communication are in order.

Ok, I won't leave you guys in suspense any longer. I'm sure Neil will post a full report later. Here is what he sent me. Kevin Trejo
"FOUND HIM !!!!!!!!!
Located him about 9:30 am 18 km down the coast. He was out of water and the burro had come to a halt. He is only about 5-6 miles from the next fish
camp so he was absolutely thrilled when we showed up with the water. Alfredo from Fish Camp was the man and Mike paid him 500 pesos for his effort.
Alfredo was happy with that !
Do you want me to "announce" this on the Bajanomad site or should you ?
standing by
neil"

As you can see I was going to let Neil make the post as he found Mike and deserved to let you all know but I see some of you just can't wait for his
report so there you go. KT~
