son's first fish
so it was time to take my son and Copilot Deep Sea fishing. Although they have been in Baja many times never fishing. So up early and park at CBX
lot and cross the corridor into Tijuana for our flight on Volaris.

as we are landing in Loreto, the pilot grabs a gear and pushes the throttle and touches and goes...what the hell? Find out later a swarm of birds
decided to take off as we were landing. We arrive safe and at the Loreto airport and grab a cab. Son had to wear a black sweat shirt..don't ask me
why..??

it had rained the night before and it looked like a maybe another storm...so we rushed to the liquor store and bought booze, chips and Choco Rolles to
wait out and survive the storm..got inside and watched the Sea from our room. I was telling my son how the Oasis had been built in 1962 and was one
of the original hotels in Loreto. If the walls could talk.

Awww, very cool. I have some of the exact same pics from 3-4 years ago. CBX, outside the airport, and with the lassies.
You are doing good dad. I always take note of dads traveling with their teen kids on the flight from LAX to Loreto.
If you need any suggestions for kid stuff to do, particularly in Baja Sur, hit me up.

my son has his fingers crossed for fishing tomorrow...we have talked to the Panguero and there is a chance the weather may delay our fishing for a
day..we will check back with him later.

we speak with Ana, the owner of The Oasis, and she tells us about the Clam bake and BBQ for dinner..sounds good. Almost like the Serenidad
tradition..

what to take the time here to thank Bill Erhart and other Nomads for the suggestions for Francisco Davis on the "Pajaro". Good Man and was excited to
know it was my son's first time. We bought Licenses, wrist bands and burritos right there at the Marina and head out with Francisco to Monkey Face
Rock on Coronado island.

Then we noticed a Dark Cloud coming over the Sierra...I know the storms come quickly as I have been caught in them before, Francisco says we better
go..we had enough fish so we turned towards the Marina and hit the throttle. He radioed other boats to let them know it was time to go...the race was
on. We all got wet from the swells but what a great experience for my family...
