JR - I do think you enjoy stirring up a good pot-o-stuff .. not that I dont enjoy the banter you create once in a while - its an interesting break
from the realities of my day ... and not that I dont think what you do isnt more often than not incredibly good hearted and deep rooted in the
goodness done ...
Pam - I have always admired you and sent you private emails to that effect - Now the Nomad World knows too .. & heres why: Being a business
owner/operator and a female and an american too requires nearly unimaginable tenacity, intelligence, diligence (both due and absolutely necessary and
continuous followup) and larger than life patience. Keeping the business operating has its own set of 'issues' .. Keeping crews working has several
perspectives to consider: Getting them work, and alos getting the TO work .. people whose soul history of tradition comes from generations and who
are sometimes fine with a fish and a beer every once in a while .. vs the idea of getting up every day and working ... Now of course not every one
falls within either category as that is the beauty of human-being-ness. Point being there are challenges beyond the obvious that we deal with
regularly, and, for myself, until we began operating a business in Cabo in 1994 I did not consider, nor care about, any of 'these' issues.
I am going to try and address as many spoken as well as insinuated issues as I can.
As to who checks the licneses Durango: Every day we encounter something 'new'. At 6am, the Port Captain 'usually' has a manned aboat at the marina
departure and every boat must hand in to that person a document (we call this a dispatch) and on this document is the name of every person aboard,
including crew. Sometimes the PC Office shares this boat with someone from the PESCA office and one or both of them can, at their discretion, ask for
Angler Licenses and/or any other document for that matter. Any boat not having any document asked for can be sent back to get it, or them. There
are days this boat is not where it is supposed to be, and, sometimes it arrives later .. go figure ... There are also times when the Navy sets up
'shop' and randomly, or perhaps deliberately, selects boats to check. I am not privvy to know who gives them directives as to who or when to check
boats - here again all I hear is WHEN it is happeneing in the marina, as news travels fast - However, because we at CABO MAGIC follos ALL the rules we
are give to follow, we dont flinch or worry about these events - we do however, feel badly for guests and visitors, who are a oftentime understandably
unnerved about a 'teenager with an AK47' standing in front of them while another teenager reviews paperwork. Sort of like that first experience at a
Military Checkpoint - its certainly not something one would experience in the USA (I know there are even going to be arguments made here for cases
where folks get pulled over by a control freak patrol officer in the boonies of some town who causes some heart palpitations) but it is something one
eventually gets used to, especially those who travel the Baja Pensinsula with any regularity.
And now on to The Dept of Fisheries document - "Fishing licenses are issued for periods of one week, one month, and one year, effective at 12:01 am on
the starting date specified on the license application." So how come we all get to sell DAILY licenses?
Peace y'all. Gotta get to work.
And, on behalf of our staff and all crews, we look forward to having you in our beautiful paradise of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
where the sunshine, crystallline waters, and tropical beauty awaits you!
Cordially, Lori Garcia
