2 Near disasters at Los Cerritos
In 2 days earlier this week, two different lanchings of tin boats almost ended in disaster. In one case the capt turned the boat perpindicular to the
waves on his way out. The wave flipped his boat and all gear in it. In the second incident under the category of life is rough, but it's rougher if
your stupid! The young capt was taking out his dads boat and forgot to check the gas tank. He got a few miles north before running out of gas. They
dropped an anchor just outside the surf break at San Pedrito and one swam in to get some gas. The hook didn't hold and the boat drifted in and caught
a wave capsizing the boat and losing the gear, but no lives. The good news is that in both situations local surfers came to the rescue righting the
boats and finding some gear. After flipping over the boat a small dog came swimming out from under the boat and was rescued by S.A. Tommy and a
friend. Surfers Rule! It's a dangerous sea out there, be careful.

I meant parallel to the waves not perpindicular (sp). Meanwhile for those that did get out this week before the surf showed up, fairly warm water,
dorado, sierra, yellow tail, and sea bass in our boat.

SOC? Lot's of old memories, old pictures. "Should have been here yesterday". I was there yesterday.  But not that many yesterdays. Any pictures
of fish caught recently? Only asking. Next time around, I'm going to the Pacific side.

Here's one that got parallel to the waves and this is the Sea of Cortez. My brother flipped my 15' Western side console w/Suzuki 40 right out if front
of my house once he had turned the motor off it went sideways and boom it went over. He was fortunetly not injured. I sold the boat.
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Los Cerritos is an old Government built RV site just south of Todos Santos and is sort of occupied by Snowbirds in the winter time. The surfers, sun
lovers, and RV enthusiasts have been going there for quite some time.

The RV site is long gone...it's now Cerritos Surf Club bar and restaurant. Just down the beach 100 yds. are three story condos and more resorts being
built. The land has been divided, sold and fenced. No more free camping on the beach like years past. Several surf schools and board rentals.
Still a great place to spend the day at the beach surfing, boogie boarding, swimming (they even have a lifeguard).
The new divided four-lane freeway is completed from La Paz to Todo Santos, and the construction is moving fast from there to Cabo. Times and Baja are
changing.

When the hell will they think to 4 lane that loooong uphill to the power station. I hate being stuck behind those old semi trucks carrying 180,000 lbs
at 10 MPH.
That'll probably be the LAST mile done!!!

The power plant stretch of road N. of Cabo is being widened now and half done.
Hgwy 19 N. of Pescadero is 90% complete to the top of the hill past Jardín Botánico Campo. The 4-lane through Pescadero was painted couple days ago
and will be completed this week.
S. of Pescadero, construction to Elias Calles and not a big deal. It will be years reaching La Tinaja to Pozo de Cota area.
Surfers still camping at the closed Pedrito Point RV park. Not a good week for shore fishing Punta Lobos.

The ocean is a tough class. She gives the test first, and if you survive...you learn the lesson.
