Good thing you were young and didn't have a heart attack!

Funny story--curious, did you confess right away, or did it take some time?

That never worked for me. The dry salt on my skin would itch so bad I couldn't stand it. They tell me if you towel off, instead of letting the water dry off on it's own, the salts aren't as bad.

I always bring along the solar shower. Which works fine on the cortez. But on the pacific - brrrrrrr.

too funny!!!!

you'll probably post while I'm posting but---did you confess right away? If not, how'd you explain the skinned nose to the family?

That one could solicit some interesting excuses!!

A friend of mine was checking a cotton field for insects and all of a sudden left the field yelling SNAKE! When he was out of the field he looked at his boots which were snake skin.

lol............lol

Gonzaga Bay 1967.......A nightmare recalled

This would be our third summer vacation at PaPa,s place,my family is really getting into this baja thing,all we talk about is when are we going next and can,t we stay a little longer,the kids bedrooms walls are covered with baja pic,s,my garage is a mess,fishing poles,camping gear,and finally a boat an motor,with our powerwagon and shell we are ready for anything.
PaPa,s place in those days was primitive at best,but we always had the cabana which I helped put the roof on three years earlyer and this year a flusher,it does,nt get any better!!!
Baths were a bit of a problem,a wife and two little girls,well you understand,but we had a solution for that also,wait for everyone to go to bed ,then go skinny dipping with your favorite bar of soap,worked well until that night.
It was a beautiful night a huge full moon as only a baja moon can be and bright as day,the wife an kids were finishing up and I was taking a little swim maybe a bit to far for me but the water was warm and life was good.
I,ve never been a strong swimmer and had no business being out this far but I just felt great,the strokes were coming easy and fatigue never entered my mind.
As I mentioned before the water was warm and O so clear I could see,O MY GOD directly below me was a huge shape,a large fish,a BIG SHARK!!!!!
I coudn,t catch my breath,my heart pounded,vomit was only a moment away but now the adrenalin started to kick in,swim for your lifeand that I did,really rolling now but I looked down and there he was only closer now,I started to yell to who I don,t know,everytime I looked down he was closer,any minute now and I,ve had it.........WHAM he had my face.Ive always thought to be eaten by a large shark had to be the worst way you could go...........But wait I,m still alive an all I have is sand in my eyes.
I beached myself swimming from my shadow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAITCAST

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Hope to hear some more.... get well
