There you are,


feeling all smug about your own place in the Baja. You are accustomed and efficient with the drive from the states and haven't even been shot at. Tranquilo is no longer just a word. It's a way of life. Traffic jams are two cars at a crossroad, each motioning the other to go ahead. You're writing fewer posts. You suffer depression only in the hours leading up to northbound returns. You find yourself listening to news out of America with a new subtle grin. Life is good and about to get better.

There's noise out front . . . people with beer. Cold Mexican beer. Your neighbors have come to kidnap you and take you Fishin' In Puerto A. Lopez Mateos:

Great clip, Jeff! Gabriel definitely has star potential. How many did you catch? Or were you just the cameraman?

BajaCalifornian, welcome to Baja Nomads !!

It is so true about getting depressed about going North - my husband starts getting cranky when we start packing and stays so until we head back home to our paradise in La Bocana .... :lol::lol:

thank goodness we have narrowed it down to 2 times a year ...

again - welcome to Baja Nomad





Come visit La Bocana

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

Surprised too


Better was availability of the website name, years ago. Bajacalifornian has some history to it . . . spent time on my boat. Don't know what she's called now. Lives in Panama. Have fishing images taken from her in an overview of Lopez Mateos - see

Signed, I prefer Pangas
