FUBAR Fleet-New info
The first of the FUBAR (Fleet Underway Baja Rally http://www.fubarodyssey.com ) boats have started arriving here in Puerto Los Cabos. We have our VHF radio on and are listening as they arrive.
We have heard that there will be 50 boats....hope that they fueled up somewhere because there is none here! Next port Bahia de los Muertos then on
La Paz.

I'm sure the Punta Banda Yacht Club is well represented there, somewhere. Didn't see any mention of them in the link. Has to be an oversight.

The PBYC actually set sail two days ago, but the navigator reports that they turned around when two of them fell off the edge of the earth.

I believe diaper hanger is the correct nautical term, Commodore.

We had the tiniest boat in the fleet anchor overnight here in Asuncion and we brought them ashore...quite a riot were those 3 pretty bombed big
fellas...I accompanied them to dinner and had alot of fun listening to their stories and made some new amigos. there sure was alot of traffic on the
VHF for a couple days and the horizon was alight with passing yachts. Fuel could be an issue though....speaking of which there will be another little
shortage this week due to all the Baja 1000 vehicles returning...so we filled our tank today.

There are boats coming in every 10 minutes. It is great fun to listen to on the VHF
We are headed down to check things out up close. Maybe more photos later.
Sorry, Dave, will try to find a pic of a real boat! These are all stink pots.

Where's the beef?
The boats are having their inspection and we heard on the radio that they are not allowed to keep their beef. For some reason they are letting them
keep the beef that they are going to eat tonight?!?!?!?!?

Still a construction zone
But having the boats here sure makes this whole project seem real. There are people everywhere in La Playa. All the restaurants(all 2 of them) are
full. Tommy's Barefoot Bar will open tonight for the Fubar party(that makes 3).
I hate to admit it but it is kinda exciting.

Those in the pic all came in together early this morning. On the boat list from the website, it looks like 11 or 12 of the 53 are Nordhavens. We
went to lunch at La Marina in La Playita hotel and there was several people with that logo on their shirts.
