The locals feel that we are taking "friends" out and calling them our "family" , plus receiving some sort of payment for the ride..We know that there
are a few that are doing it and they are even advertising to takeing people out for fishing trips..The last two times that I have been out, there is
always someone there asking if I am taking my family out or friends, plus they offer to be my "Captain" for the day and on my boat..
Read the article and see what you think they are saying...I am sure we haven't heard the last of it..Also, parking you vehicle and trailer has really
become a problem, as you can no longer park on the Malecon or any of the paved streets. You think they are trying to tell us something?? Maybe not,
but at least when you launch at Porta Escondido you have plenty of parking spaces..
You can read the article at the El Sudcaliforniano website and form your own opionion on this subject....

I went to the El Sud web site but couldn't find the article, couldn't figure out how to access yesterday's paper (not strong spanish skills). Can you
post a link to the article? Thanks....

Maybe some friends and family prefer to be on a ride a little more comfortable than a panga?
Isn't it $25 or so to launch at escondido?
The parking issue in town sounds like a nightmare.

It costs us 129 pesos to launch at the Marina in Loreto with no parking, no facilities and at Escondido it is 100 to 110 pesos with parking and
bathroom facilities, plus insurance on the boat and the T.I.P...So, they get you one way or another..Friends that come down here every six months or
so, just to fish have had their truck and trailer towed and impounded at the Police Station, costing them $100. dollars, so some of them will not
return to Loreto next year..

Bill Erhardt or some other resident can comment better than I, but as of the last time I was in Loreto, launching at Puerto Escondido was not an
option for transient boats unless they had Mexican registration and boat insurance.

Yep, thats correct, BajaBruno...Thats what I said in my post that at least Puerto Escondido had parking and facilities there but you need a T.I.P
(Temp Import Permit) and insurance..so they got you either way..Go to Loreto and find no parking or very little..I wouldn't mind the 129 pesos if we
had a secure parking area and facilities at the ramp..Its not all about the ramp fee this go around. With very few tourists the locals are out of work
and are complaining that we are taking too many friends out on our boats..We'll see how this develops over the next few weeks..
