I forgot an important component of one of my toys, and I'm trying to arrange a pick-up and delivery to Vizcaino Junction, or Bahia Asuncion.
When I packed my landsailer, I mistakenly loaded the lowest mast section from a smaller boat I own. It doesn't work with the rest of my mast!!
The piece is located 4-5 blocks off I-5 in Mt. Shasta City, and I'd meet someone in Vizcaino for the drop off.
This is a ~2" aluminum tube about 4' long with a pulley mounted on it, weighs almost nothing.
Respond here or U2U.
Two nights free camping at Campo Sirena if you are coming by here!
Thanks for looking!

I'll throw in a 6 pack. Vgabndo said I can take it out for a burn. Pompano - 1-15-2014 at 03:25 PM
I can help a little.
I'll keep this thread to remind me when I head south and thru Mt. Shasta area in about a month or so. I can get the package at least as far as San
Diego, but then I'm going west, so somebody else will have to take it from there.shari - 1-15-2014 at 04:15 PM
that might work Pompano as many folks are coming from California to whale watch...cant wait to take that thing out down the beach!55steve - 1-15-2014 at 04:28 PM
We are are heading down to GN & BA from San Diego on Feb 10th. As another option, it wouldn't cost a lot to have it shipped to us.

I'll keep you posted on my departure times, vgabndo. If your package is still at Mt. Shasta, I'll stop.
shari, those land sailors are perfect for lots of Baja level spots like dry lake beds, etc. In the Dakotas we even had a version of the Land
Schooner...short-lived when they hit the Rockies.
But as a native Canadian, did you ever go ice-sailing? Now there's a real rush!
It's a very old sport...or mode of transportation. Even the early Iceboats in northern Europe could reach speeds of 80 to a 100 miles an hour on
clear stretches of smooth ice. They were doing that 30 years before the first airplane. Like my grandkids say these days...'Imagine that!"
The official iceboat speed record remains the one set on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, way back in 1938. It was (hold your breath) 143 miles an hour!
But shucks, the chances of us ice-sailing anytime soon in Baja are nicht zu gut!
I think Perry's idea of beach and land sailing would be a blast!

Thanks Roger. I'll note your offer, and keep you in the loop!
The beach was perfectly wide and flat this afternoon, but it is so incredibly nice here right now that there isn't enough wind to fly a kite! A nice
80 degrees in the camper in the shade.
La vida buena!Pompano - 1-15-2014 at 04:32 PM
Hah..Perry, I think we both hit the SEND key at the same time.Timo1 - 1-15-2014 at 04:36 PM
If there is a way then Molly , Barb and myself will be waiting in Viscaino for it to arrive
We need an excuse to head there for chicken anyway
Oh...And puppy toysvgabndo - 1-15-2014 at 07:02 PM
So, Tim tomorrow I'll bring a coffee mug, and we can take a portrait of Molly if she can see out!
Roger, that record is contested by the folks who are attempting to break a well documented record in the 80's (MPH) on skates. Dirt boats are faster,
and these guys took years to get to 126.2 MPH in the dirt.

Uh huh...up rears the internet again! For what it's worth, here's an account of the world's iceboating speed record.
On Sunday, January 19th, 2003, 4LIYC member Harry Whitehorse streaked to a new world ice boating speed record on Madison’s Lake Monona.
Whitehorse’s yacht Das Boot, (also known as the Crippler), recorded a speed of 155.84 mph as he negotiated the downwind legs of the one mile race
course in 23.1 seconds.
The time was recorded by the Club’s Chief Judge and was verified by a GPS that Whitehorse carried with him as he made his record run.
