In hypeing the windsurfing experience in Baja, he touched on the security problem :

"These are scary reports but, keep in mind that far worse things happen every day in american big cities." [Capital A ommited by author]

I can't stand this type of self-serving crap. It sounds as though he's justifying the crimes. "It's OK that it happens here because worse things happen right where you live."

Jeezo....The things people say just to make a buck or be recognized.

Go easy on this particular windsurfer site. Their looped 7 day wind forcast for this little bay at East Cape gives direction and velocity every two hours -- it is computer generated so not 100% reliable but without it, all us local fisherpersons would have to get up at God awful early hours just to go take a looksee at the beach for fish/no fishing. And it's free! Along with another site for sailors it's the best tool we have.

I got some great tips from the article and I am happy that people write these articles.

Here is the Mayor of Tijuana Jorge Ramos being sworn into office and promising his fight against the criminals. I did not hear him say the word "Turistas" but I am sure he is going to to do something about that too. He did not sound like he was playing around.

Here is a link to the capture of some people who kidnapped a young businessman in Tijuana who was subsequently rescued. Here is the face of the bad people. Regular looking people.
