Conception Bay closed

Pescador - 5-1-2008 at 01:43 PM

Just got a note from Rick Barber about the closing of Conception bay.

All Hell's breaking loose!!! There are over 100 soldiers in the Bay and on land around it looking for seven heavily armed bad dudes and their boatload of cocaine. They have the entrance to the Bay sealed off while others are down in the Bay looking for the bad guys. Apparently they caught some guy down on Burro that was taking them a load of gasoline for the boats. The soldiers apparently had a plain clothed lookout at the Pemex station and when the guy bought the gasoline, he radioed down the Bay and they got him.

More of the saga to follow when more is known.

This sounds like AHORITA, Bob.

Maybe send Susan out into the middle of the channel on a kayak and have her look towards Punta Concepcion...........if they dont stop her first.

Actually, I think I batten down and head up into the lighthouse with a case of Pacificos.

Seriously, if there are mal hombres about, dont give them an opportunity to hole up with hostages.

Dont ferget the casks of oil for burning if they storm the lighthouse. :lol:
