Kayaker looking for help at LA Bay, Loreto and La Ventana
My name is Charles Chandler. I知 paddling the Baja 750 Paddle Challenge from San Felipe to Cabo San Lucas.
I知 looking for resupply and package holding assistance at LA Bay, Loreto and La Ventana. and minimal hospitality at other places. I知 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痴 place a few days before my arrival.
Hopefully, you will have a phone so I can call you before or when I arrive. I値l give you some things to hold for me, I値l 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値l fill up my water bladders
and give your bottles back. I知 more than happy to pay for your expenses. I値l give you some things to hold for me, I値l 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値l fill up my water bladders and give your
bottles back. I知 more than happy to pay for your expenses. I値l give you some things to hold for me, I値l 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値l fill up my water bladders and give your bottles back. I知 more than happy to pay for your expenses. I might
want to give you you some things to hold for me, I値l 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.

challenge. I値l be posting here during my journey: Use this link or just search for Baja 750 Paddle Challenge at Facebook.

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.
