Kayaker looking for help at LA Bay, Loreto and La Ventana
My name is Charles Chandler. I�m paddling the Baja 750 Paddle Challenge from San Felipe to Cabo San Lucas.
I�m looking for resupply and package holding assistance at LA Bay, Loreto and La Ventana. and minimal hospitality at other places. I�m hoping to find
some people who will help me complete my challenge.
A few general notes: The dates and times below are approximate, they are dependent on the actual day I start at San Felipe and how well I do. I have
assumed I start on the morning of Feb. 17. I have a friend who will drop off a resupply package at the volunteer�s place a few days before my arrival.
Hopefully, you will have a phone so I can call you before or when I arrive. I�ll give you some things to hold for me, I�ll pick those items up on
road trip back up north.
On February 17 I start at San Felipe.
At LA Bay on Feb.19, probably at sunset.. I will be stopping at Daggetts for my resupply and water fill up and to camp for the night. I need you to
hold my resupply package for me. I need you to bring my resupply package and 10 gallons of purified drinking water. I�ll fill up my water bladders
and give your bottles back. I�m more than happy to pay for your expenses. I�ll give you some things to hold for me, I�ll pick those items up on road
trip back up north.
Thank you for reading this.
At Loreto on Feb.25, probably at sunset. I will be stopping at Loreto Shores RV Park for the night. I need you to hold my resupply package for
me. I need you to bring my resupply package and 10 gallons of purified drinking water to me at Daggetts. I�ll fill up my water bladders and give your
bottles back. I�m more than happy to pay for your expenses. I�ll give you some things to hold for me, I�ll pick those items up on road trip back up
north. Thank you for reading this.
At La Ventana on Feb.28, probably at sunset. I will be stopping at the main campground for the night. i need you to obtain 10 gallons of purified
drinking water and bring it to me. I�ll fill up my water bladders and give your bottles back. I�m more than happy to pay for your expenses. I might
want to give you you some things to hold for me, I�ll pick those items up on road trip back up north. Thank you for reading this.
At Other places : If you have a place on the beach which is on my route between San Felipe and Cabo San Lucas and want to host me for a sleep stop
that would be awesome. I would love to meet you and chat for a little while. My needs will be a shower, a place to pitch my tent and lots of sleep.
Thank you for reading this.

Welcome back... 7 years since we heard from you here! Your Baja Calendar photos that Carlos Fiesta used were great... 2010, I think?
Your SmugMug photo album is down... I recall you had some great stuff on it?
Hope you have a great new adventure!

We will be in LA Bay on the 19th. I can bring water to you at no charge maybe even a cold beer. Worst case I'll leave water at the office. Not
available on your return trip unless San Diego works for you.

Thanks for the welcome back, I remember you, at least a little bit. You have the numbers right. I checked the calendar as I have one which I've kept
like new in an envelope. It was 2010. 09/10 was my last winter season in Baja. It will be nice to come back. I have most of the images at Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/charleschandler/albums
All the best back to you!

If logistics with Woody don't work out I can also help in BdeLA. I should be here (it's Baja, nothing is certain) on your northbound leg so I could
hold your stuff if that's more convenient. Check U2U for contact information.
