a few highway sections the race will use and although they are supposed to stay within the speed limits some may be "in a hurry".
How is the pavement from San Juanico to Insurgentes? Are you already down there? |
We arrived from the north on the middle road that leads to Campo Datil. Cars come and go to Insurgentes without any problem, but I did hear that there
still might be some standing water in some arroyos. If your car has good clearance it is not a problem.
The hurricanes have gravely affected the quality of the surf by removing sand from the points. The wave still has great form and can be long, but it
is very mushy at second point and breaks in the middle of the cove, not at the point. It will take some strong WNW swell events or perhaps the passage
of time for the sand deposits to return. Right now Scorpion Bay is San Onofre South, with less exposure to swell....
I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes by saying so.

PS: We love this place anyway for a million reasons, and I don't like it when the aggro rippers come out of the woodwork and try to spoil the vibe in
the lineup, so for me the state of the surf is a mixed circumstance, but the wave at second point is not the same right now as it usually is.
Otherwise, the rule here remains the same: Everyone takes his or her turn. After you have ridden your wave, or missed it, you wait until the others in
the lineup have gone. Then you get to go again. That is how surfing will save itself from itself. It's a much better way for everyone to surf.

Karma obliges me to relate the following good news, after which I promise radio silence on the matter: The wave in SJ has already started to get much
better and works just fine when there is more surf, which happened today, even if it will likely be better still when all of the sands return. Over
and out!

We traveled from San Ignacio to Tijuana yesterday. Overall, I have never seen the road in such good condition. They have completed much of the work
in-between Colonet and Ensenada. The new road is a very well engineered, first-rate highway. (Baja is improving its roads while in the US the roads
are falling into disrepair with minimal funding to maintain them properly, but that it another matter.)
There is a well-constructed detour south of Ensenada where they are completing this work. There were no hazardous sections.
Overall, the highway in BC is better than it is in BCS between Guerrero Negro and San Igancio, where it still lacks any shoulder. All of it is far
better than it was ten years ago, which is when I first started driving it.

Great news.
These endless lands and unique waters are not simply soil and sea. These elements of earth and water are as much a part of me as my blood and organs.
And the people that populate this corner of the world lift my spirit to heights that allow me to see what is truly important; The beauty of life. And
that is the essential gift.

As of 12/12, the road was in generally very good shape from Tijuana to Vizcaino.
Some potholed areas right around Catavina, but nothing bad. There were also two dips on that section which are washed out and require slow passage.
Otherwise, no detours (other than the La Mision one), and no traffic. No hassle at the border or checkpoints, which was surprising considering we
were towing a skiff full of stuff with a cover on it.
