Winds were light that week. I have been using this site to pick my fishing days ahead it's been pretty accurate.

BajaBlanca,
GOOGLE:
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
A good thermometer should be part of any first aid kit. Fever of 101F+, and sore throat or coughing means time for me to see a doctor.

2 years ago a friend of mine down here was near death and his son picked him up, wrapped him in blankets and put him in the back of his pickup and
headed North at 3:00 am. When they got to border in regular lanes he realized that he forgot to take his dad's passport so they sat in secondary for
close to 2 hours. His dad died on the way to the hospital after that.

That is really SICK--- can't believe he was that sick and they kept him in secondary for 2 hours? Passport or no passport, there are no words to
describe how wrong and inhumane that was.

durelllrobert, you are saying a U.S. citizen, who spoke with an obviously American twang, that simply did not have a valid passport, but did have a
wallet, or other I.D. was held up in secondary? If he was unconscious it is policy to get that person to a hospital. One that treats illegal
immigrants at the least, maybe under guard, maybe even handcuffed, but to let somebody gravely ill just sit in secondary???

The night before he was still able to speak and his wife was making arrangements for an ambulance from Ensenada to take him to the border for transfer
to a US ambulance, but "Doc" said he would refuse that option and insisted that she call his son to come and drive him. She did that but his son was
living in Grass Valley and by the time he got to Punta Banda it was 2:30 am and Doc was completely incoherant and barely able to speak so they just
loaded him up and took off without any form of ID. When they got to the border his son DID NOT even mention that his father was in the back and near
death. When ICE found him wrapped up they assumed it was an attrmpted human smuggling and that the old man was just faking the inability to talk,
according to the son.

Man I am sorry for his and your loss. If you have an emergency, I mean someone REALLY bad off, use any damned lane you can to get to near a booth but
stop about twenty feet short. Yeah they will come and they will be pi$$ed off but when they see a bona-fide emergency case, they will call an
ambulance. RIGHT THEN. The right thing to do is to offer to return to México yourself. They may or may not put you through and on to secondary but at
least the ill person gets to a hospital. Just ask the Customs Agent "Which Hospital". U.S. Customs, shudders at a headline of "U.S. Citizen Dies
Because of CBP Neglect". You are on US soil a few hundred feet before getting near the Customs booth so the ambulance will drive up to the car. The
agents will probably tell the driver "Well we really do not expect to see you again doing this. It is a is a blah, blah, fine, blah blah. You are
lucky this is a real emergency blah, blah". Pi$$ed off or not they wouldn't dare cite you because the headline "US Customs Levies Big Fine For US
Citizen Bringing Gravely Ill US Citizen To Border Inspection In Wrong Traffic Lane" would be high up on the list of the next headline they wouldn't
like to see in Washington. The Port Directors know this, there are procedures in place for dealing with it, and yes the driver's name and car license
number goes into the TEC 2, or 3, CPB computer database. That just raises the subsequent entries to a level II. It does not mean anything except a
slight delay as the agent reads the notation, before deciding whether to send you to secondary.
I have no connection whatsoever to the US government or law enforcement. The above is a result of interviews with Customs Agents.
