La Paz to Ensenada de Muertos (AKA Bahia de Los Suenos) (AKA The Bay of Dreams)
I'm lousy at embedding photos and stuff, so this trip report, including photos of the Giggling Marlin launch ramp, is here:

Lots of photos, so it loads a little slow on my connection.

I haven't been down there for awhile now.
I like the area quite a bit.
The highway # is 286.

Capt Mike, the airstrip is on the dirt side road to Punta Arena, so I'll guess that is maybe five+ miles from the Giggling Marlin. I didn't see
anything that looked like a hotel near the Gig Marlin, but some huge casas were completed and being built all around that area.
Doug, thanks for the info. I'll update the report and hope I don't crash it in the process. What I know about web publishing you could fit in a
broken shot glass.

CaboRon, I made that trip a month ago--it took me this long to figure out how to post something on my website! Hahaha! I'm not much of a web author.
I fished the following day and landed one nice striper 4.5NM from the ramp. Nothing after that. It was windy and the sea state was very lumpy. All
of the action this summer, however, or what action there has been, has been off the south end of Cerralvo. As we discussed in another thread, I don't
want to launch there by myself, so I haven't been able to get down there without a long ride from Pichilingue.

Oh Christopher,
Thank you for this nice little sojourn to one of my favorite spots, such a beautiful little bahia. This same trip was the last and most memorable of
the day trips I took with my dear friend Tucker (a now deceased Nomad) and for that reason your report/photos especially touched my heart. Thank you
very much.

I was at Bahia De Muertos a couple of weeks ago, there is a hotel about 1 mile from the marlin, rooms $800-$20,000 per nite. I talked to the surveyor
he said there would be a golf course, marina and of course houses, cheapest lots $ 350,000 the 2.5 acre lot east of the marlin is 2.5 mil. If you buy
land does that give you the right to name the adjacent water?

the developer, a partner in the Giggling Marlin Cabo, had his C 206 stolen off that strip at gunpoint last year or the year before.
they were using the plane for routine transport and for shuttling folks from Cabo to preview lots. Guess he had no qualms about forking over the keys
with a rifle in his face.
that development will do fine but fliers will want 24/7 security at the strip that far from one's home. Expensive homes and lots - those who can ....
will.
after all, the good lots are all but gone at Pescadero and Cabo-Los cabos areas.
many of those buyers and future hotel guests drive biz jets, how convenient not to have to go to Los Cabos! gotta love rarified air.

Hope they can afford securtiy for that airstrip.

expensive.

Yeah, I wonder if I could go back and pay more for the great camping that used to be. This was one of my favorite spots in the whole world until Gary
from the Giggling Marlin stole it.

That road to San Antonio is really interesting with all the stone walls, it kinda looks like Europe. You can still see the rails that carried the
goodies from San Antonio to Bahia de Los Muertos(sorry it will never be the bay of dreams to me). It has got to be bad booty to change a name so
dramatically!
I am looking for a great photo that I took years ago. It was the first highway sign I ever saw on a dirt road.
Bruno, thanks for the memories
