Thnx 4 SF !


Greetings All,

Thanks for this post and welcome new Nomads. What great images and lore. I too remember that first drive into town, barely. I think I was about 5; 1962? I recall the gas stations and the submarine. Dad had to stop and check it out as a Navy man. We always had to get ice from the ice house on the point. The window hung air-conditioner on the Rambler and wet towels used up lots of cooler water!

Thanks again for the images and stories. Please post more. Peace, Love and Fish Tacos to all!

I have good news to all of you regarding the submarine in San Felipe. The reason for the good news is that the owner of the submarine, taken from Ensenada to San Felipe, is my father-in-law. His name was: Alfonso Arambula ("El Negativa") (1932-2005).
Hi DavidK: I'm the person who took a picture of your daughter Sara, swimming or body surfing with dolphins, in Carlsbad in the early 2000's. I was with my wife at sunset. My wife is daughter of El Negativa.
More of the submersible coming soon. I'll give a preview: it has to do with Jacques Cousteau.


HELLO! Yes, I remember you two and we exchanged contacts because of the dolphin photo with Sarah in it, maybe Christopher too? I think that was back in the Amigos de Baja days before Nomad? Maybe I need to search... do you have that photo if I don't find it?
Sarah is 24 now, and the mother of a 4 year old who is nearly a twin of her...

I cannot wait! Extra bonus points for sharing how Mr. Arambula got his nickname. I feel so foolish to not have thought of a connection to Cousteau. Tick tock, tick tock. I cannot wait. Thanks and welcome to the group!
