Ocean Odyssey source?

Hope this is appropriately posted, my apologies if not.

Stumbled across an excerpt of this book and then found out the author has passed. I'm curious if anyone knows if his old website is still a valid source to purchase it? I sent an email a month ago and have received no response.

Thanks in advance.

The book is still seeking a publisher (as far as I know)...

The author was a personal amigo and friend to all who loved Baja California... known as 'Carlos Fiesta', Chuck Chambers died far too young along with two other amigos as they were flying home from viewing the Baja 1000, last November.

Book: http://www.carlosfiesta.com/book.htm

See: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?fid=4&tid=492...

The web site is http://www.carlosfiesta.com also http://www.bajaexpo.com

When his book (about a solo panga trip around the peninsula) is published, it will be announced here...

Maybe Chuck's friend 'Juan del Rio' will have some news on getting the book published?

Carlos lived by his motto:

"Plan your life as if you are going to live forever. Live your life as if you are going to die tomorrrow." - Carlos Fiesta

Book...

Still working on trying to get it "self-published for Carlos. Marv Sherrill has been trying to help as well. Send me a U2U with your email. I can at least get you a "work-in-progress" manuscript for now.

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep searching - hopefully someday the book will be published.

A member of this on line community was kind enough to send me a manuscript of the adventure and 4 calendars which I received today. Can't thank him enough, and the calendars are wonderful. Eagerly waiting my fishing trip out of San Felipe where I can get a bit of time to read the entire thing.

Glad you got them - I still have calendars left for the bargain price of $5.00 each + $3.00 shiping for 1 or more - give me a u2u - Marv

Thanks again Marv. Wasn't sure if you wanted your name broadcasted out.

BTW - the calendars are really neat!
