Thanks... nice film from the past!

The movie seemed to be early 60's vintage based on dress, hair, planes, buildings and the give-a-way was seeing Diaz' charter boat... so I checked in Gene Kira's great book, 'The Incredible Sea of Cortez', page 99...

The fishing boat 'San Agustin II' was purchased by Papa Diaz in 1962 and refurbished in Kino Bay, arriving at L.A. Bay about 1963... and he sold it in 1982.

The same band (with broomstick bass) played when we were there in 1967. :biggrin:

Wasn't featured, but I did recognize some of the people. I would love to show this to Chubasco and have him put names to faces.

Very cool. A lot seems the same in BOLA, except the big fish.
