I'm told this sailboat probably has a 5-6' keel buried in the sand.

1. A windsurfer with a broken leg suddenly appeared where we were staying in La Ventana after hauling himself in from the sea. He was tended to passersby, wrapped in blankets and transported to La Paz in the back of a small station wagon. I wonder how he fared.

2. A cut-off giant squid tentacle which we presented to and was relished by the lovely local lady beach dogs.

Found on Playa Tecolote.


I believe this is a spark plug taken from Fred Flintstone's car. I was going to put it in my moped but couldn't figure out how to gap it.

There are quite a few of these around the old beachlines in the windrows..pretty old though, rough condition. I have found a small assortment, plus a couple of nicer arrowheads.





I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Pompano,

wasn't that Blue/white sailboat knocked over in Jimena? You can see the trailer in the photo. I drove by about 4 days after and remember it. I probably have a photo of it if i looked through the 1000's my wife took on the drive.

And another at about the same time...although a mite north of there. Pescadero Beach, Ca. Opps..sorry. :rolleyes:

Appeared to be a gunshot wound in the head.

There was another object washed up on the beach..see it? Double trajedy.

Hurricane John brought a lot of Mulege river homes and dreams to Punta Chivato beaches. I just couldn't go down and rummage through peoples nightmares. But after the vultures picked the beaches mostly clean I ventured out and rescued this guy. Also found an 6' florescent tube unbroken in the rubble.
