BIG EXPLOSION..........

............in the water off and south of the SEMPRA LNG plant near Baja Mar. Lots of black smoke in the air when I first looked, but my neighbor saw the black cloud as it shot skyward filling the air.
Hard to imagine that it was a gas tanker as we would probably have heard it and felt the shock waves.

Sounds like it.

Here's a google translation of the article .....

"A boat called "Yankee Drive 'U.S. flag, burned on Sunday morning off the coast of the Bay of Ensenada, Baja California 5 miles from Isla Todos Santos.

The crew of the boat were apparently sport fishing when the fire sparked in a few minutes out of control, hence the two passengers on board decided to abandon ship.


Ships of the Navy of Mexico came to put out the fire and rescue the crew of Yankee Drive, an American named Mark Steven Fuller and Gerardo Sanchez Cordova who used a lifeboat to safety after leaving the yacht.

Sounds like someone forgot to run the blowers a bit before starting the engine
