The Orcas were in at Rancho Buneo Vista in 1976. I was out fishing for Roosterfish when I saw a small group following a School of small mantas. they would grab them and stun them then go back around and Eat them. What a A Sight. After 1980.s i did not see any around loreto.

Skeet...I have some great videos taken in '87 when the Calypso followed the Orcas into Conception Bay and then right in front of my house. The orcas glutted themselves on thousands of those little lobster-like critters called langostinas by Manuel. That was a sight to see...all the beaches were piled in red with millions of those guys. What a stench after a day or two. The wierd thing is, after they died nothing would eat them! Not even the buzzards!

I lived at the Casa Grande at Pta. Chivato in the 70's and 80's whenever I went there. Bill Alvarado, Doc Lyons, George Staples were all amigos of mine back then. I was the 'designated architect-signer' ..mostly b.s. to get the job done. All of us went joint ownership on another stone house on top the hill overlooking Posada trailer park down in the Bay.

Tales of gold...buried in old adobe walls somewhere in the area..we heard those constantly from many locals. Remember Pepe..we called him 'Piano' because of his huge white teeth..he loved to tell those stories, with a lot of rum.

I know about a DC-3 ditched in shallow water by Pt. Conception when trying to land with some contraband aboard, but don't recall now any twin buried at Chivato. George and Doc did bury a human skeleton/corpse they found on Shellbeach area one day. The hands and feet had been cut off. Figured it was a killing amongst druggers at sea. Doc took the head to the US and the USN hospital at San Diego for I.D. but nothing ever came of that. I have a ton of stories about Chivato...we had some times!
