Some of those old refrigerators could be converted into excellent smokers!

The people running the auction were sure professional…
Except… the auctioneer talked a little too fast
Numbers were given out and a good system for paying was in place.
VERY NICE system!!!
The tide was very low and ALL the Posada up-close boats anchored in the water were sitting in sand. YUK!!!
They needed a “beer bar” for the bidders to “loosen them up”
Maybe it was just me….
I was expecting better stuff.
The batteries were OLD
The inverters had been stolen and not available
The charge controllers were “ancient”
The refrigerators were from the 1940’s
I figured if they were renting equipment things would be in top condition and safe for the renter
One year we went to Ron and Wendy’s Villas del Loreto and they rented us some kayaks.
Now…that was nice equipment!!!
I guess we are just spoiled and will have to “bite the bullet” and bring down more kayaks from up north

Was Ecomundo the place on Ensenada Blanca by any chance? If so, I hope the cat got away from the fire and the auction safely! I stayed on the beach
during my stay a few weeks ago, and think we did a quick look/see on the property. Have to admit the freediving gal (Margaret?) was an interesting
individual. There I go day dreaming again!

If your thinking of the Ensenada Blanca south of Loreto, then you may be thinking of Danzante Resort, which is still in business.

Wendy & I attended. B&S are right. Mostly junk stuff you see at auctions in the states. One solar panel went for $50.00 that was loose.
Others I didn't bother to follow the pricing, as they were still mounted over the shower building and you had to take them down. Sit in kayaks went
for I think $200.00 and less depending upon condition. We bought two of them. Only for seeing if we would like kayaking or not. So condition
wasn't as important, as we would only be along the shores. Not open water. Paddles ranged from $25.00 each down. I also passed on the life jackets
and didn't wait around for them to be sold. Had Ecomundo in large letters on them and were badly faded. Makes you wonder if there weren't some "early
sales" before the auction of some "better stuff" to Roy's "close friends"????? Which isn't unusual under these circumstances. It was nice they could
find a professional auctioneer that lived a few doors north, huh???? It was handled fine as far as I was concerned. I could understand what he was
saying, and that's an improvement from auctioneers I've seen over the past 50 years that talk so fast you don't know if that was you bidding or he was
asking one of his shills for a bid.?? Darn Bob & Susan. I was hoping someone could have pointed you guys out & we could have met. One of
these days it will happen!!!!!!!!!

Dang again. Didn't realize that we were that close. Will try & make it again to your place. Driven by for years "looking" for a clue to your
road. Now I'll start mileage count going north from Ecomundo for 3. miles, then pull in and see first hand rather than "picture watching." I was
wearing the black with white print shirt. & baseball cap??? That help you any???

Well, we had a great crowd, (over 200 attendees). The weather was great, (Hey - its Baja). Most everyone I talked to enjoyed the auction and were
pleased with their purchases. As a professional auctioneer who volunteered to help out with this event, I was personally happy with the outcome. The
sale was not "salted". We sold what was there to sell. There were no early sales. After the place being abandoned for a year, its a wonder we were
able to salvage something to offer.
Yes, we needed beer and food, but Boney from Coyote who was lined up to do that failed to show up.

Where did they move to in Thailand anyway? I am likely going to take my first trip to Thailand over the holidays this year.
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a

I would love to see Pataya Beach again. In the early 70's it was like Hawaii must have been 100 years ago.
