The 1100 PDT coordinates of the eye on Wunderground show John veering more to the west on a course more west than north. At 1100 John was inland
about 13 miles over the mountains east of Isla Del Ispiritu Santo.

worried about.

John's Track
FARASHA - Since John rounded the Cape I have been plotting the coordinates of the eye on a nautical chart as soon as they have been posted. It seems
that the analysis of the weather experts in their advisories and discussion trails the data by 10 or 20 hours.

I heard John Ireland on the radio today (Let`s talk Hookup). John owns a fishing resort, Rancho Leonero on the East Cape.
Highlights of what he said-- It hit about 7:45 PM local time. The eye passed over the ranch and for 45 minutes the wind was calm. He reported wind
gust of 150 mph. He said the ranch wasn`t damaged too bad and if he gets electricity, things will be up and running in a week or sooner. His house was
damaged. He had a picture window, 50mm thick blown out. He had 2 solid oak doors, 1,100 lbs each blown off their hinges. Said nearly all power poles
are down, even the concrete ones.

Good news from San Jose area. This from Judie's sister this morning regarding Buzzards which is 11 miles south of our house:
I tried to call Judie and could not get thru, but 10 minutes later she called me. The connection was bad . Before it broke up she got this much in.
The storm went east of them. NO DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AT ALL!!!! They have moved back to Buzzards even though it is still storming. It was a hard
drive down the hill from Steves, that road is terrible. but they got thru. The inverter is out so they have no electricity, and she doesn't know how
long that will last. It has rained 6" in the last 2 days. The arroyo next to them is still just sand. Then the connection went out. I will keep
you all updated....please forward this to anybody she may have left off the list. Love to all Jerri Phillips ( Judie's sister)
Whew!
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Here is the part of the AP story that mentions that 400 mile narrow road. 
Mexico's Cabo San Lucas braces for powerful Hurricane John
The Associated Press
Published: September 1, 2006
Churning 170 miles (275 kilometers) southeast of Baja California, John was moving northwest at 13 mph (20 kph). Late Thursday night, Mexico issued a
tropical storm warning for central Baja, while the peninsula's southern tip, home to Cabo San Lucas and fellow resort San Jose del Cabo, remained
under a hurricane warning.
Officials closed the airport Thursday night, ending a mad scramble for last-minute flights. There's only one narrow road out of the resort ? it's 400
miles (650 kilometers) long and leads all the way to Tijuana on the U.S. border.

The latest data posted by the National Hurricane Center downgrades John to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. The coordinates
of the eye show a jog to the north as the storm center cleared the mountains, but that it is now west of the spine of the Baja about 20 miles inland
west of Isla San Jose and east of the Devil's curve in Mag Bay.

I always thought women
couldn't decide which way to go. Guess John can't either.
Thanks for all the updates folks. Breathin' easier now but still this guy may pose a threat to Mulege if it dumps much west in the mountains.

Isn't that the truth Sharsbaja ..... John has been one wacky hurricane that seems to want to take his sweet time seeing the whole of Baja Sur.
Still looking for any updates on how La Paz faired ........both town and crusing community. So far I've heard the Marinas held up pretty well , but
how bout the folks on the hook in the stream....????

Cleaning up after the storm. Beware of nails! Boards with several nails protruding can be ruff on the feet, hands etc. Cutting and moving down trees,
careful! Trees get some weird twists on 'em, will spring up and hurt you, kick that chainsaw in places you'd rather it wasn't. Frozen food? Freezer
thawing? Fire up the grill and chow down! Invite the neighbors! Our prayers are with ya'll. Good Luck!

Mulege report
It is raining hard in Mulege now. it looks like the storm is degrading fast and going further to the west so we are going to get mostly just good old
rain as usual. thank god for that. the only problem we need to worry about here in Mulege is flooding right along the river.

Yep! Say Bruce I am wondering if all that disturbance if having an impact on the waves near there but I'll bet Pta. Chivato area will get big push.
Have you noticed any big change out there in the SOC?
