1949 Baja Video - not much in Cabo then
Wow... things have changed. I was born in 1949 so this video really interested me.

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

As I have reported before my father was a tuna fisherman and pulled into Cape San Lucas back in the '50s to unload tuna at the packing plant.
I was at Cabo San Lucas years ago(mid 90's) and the abandoned packing plant was still there-rusting away.

It was a different world ... 1/2 day boat with my dad in 1952 out of Ensenada, was 10 ... caught two barracuda's ... then hooked up with a Bonita
which "yanked" the pole out of my hands.. deck hand grabbed the pole and landed the fish.
As you can see, if left an impression ... what a time .. yeah I know a "fish story" .. its all good 
Sorry, thanks for the flash back ..
