What winds? Here in Loreto, we are having balmy days, and incredible sunshine. Gust maybe to 2 mph. That must be why everyone is coming to Loreto
than Mulege.
Just kiddin'. We're getting them too. Right now, it's starting to get gusty again.
We've got six Navy ships anchored outside the harbor, and two small "chasers" anchored in the marina. Rumor was running that Presidente Fox was
coming to dedicate the new seawall Pemex station at Puerto Escondido today. We drove down and found they were painting the curbs, installing the
fueling hose, (wonder if they remembered to put the fuel in or not) sweeping the main street to the seawall, planted a bunch of cactus in the center
planter down the blvd. And about fifteen or twenty military personel hanging around the sea wall. But I think there are maybe six boats moored in
the main harbor, when before they started charging the outrageous fees of $150.00 to $300.00 a month there must have been over 40 boats moored there.
El Presidente would most likely say, "wheres all the boats that used to be here" and I would give anything to hear the response to that question.
(they all moved out to the 'waiting room' or "left town" so to speak. Then late yesturday, the town crier was telling everyone Fox cancelled his
trip to Loreto. He had also planned to visit Loreto Bay, but a U.S. Gov't big shot scheduled a visit to Mexico City, and he wasn't able to come and
visit us.
