A shipping company that unlawful discharged waste oil from its ships, a major source of pollution to ocean and inland waters
"After accepting the guilty plea, U.S. District Judge D. Lowell Jensen sentenced Transmar to pay a fine of $750,000, an additional community service
payment of $100,000, and ordered it to follow an environmental compliance plan agreed to by the parties. TRANSMAR is required to develop, fund, and
implement a comprehensive, fleet-wide environmental compliance plan to ensure future compliance aboard all of its vessels. As part of the plan,
Transmar will, among other things, designate a corporate compliance manager to oversee implementation of the plan, develop an environmental manual for
all ships, fully train employees, and hire an outside environmental consultant who will conduct compliance audits of Transmar ships."

Slap on the wrist. What has become of our government and leaders? Too beholden to corporate interests?

Bajacalifornian-
Pretty obscure! If it is what Russ said, yes, I care.
So, now will you post what your angle is? The Los Arcos reference doesn't make sense to me. If it is the hotel that closed in La Paz due to union
strike, how does this fit in?

I doubt my post has anything to do with whatever bajacalifornian is up to. I just google transmar and took the first ridiculous thing I saw.

Clarify:
O.K., while waiting for David K:
1) From The Unforgettable Sea Of Cortez, refer to chapter Dinner At The Los Arcos.
2) When Googling Trans Mar, Consider Trans Mar de Cortes.

Okay, do I just spill the beans... If Capt. Mike knew his Baja flying history more, he would have the answer...
Come on old timers... Anybody fly to Baja Sur before Aero Mexico kicked all the little guys out, like Francisco Muñoz or Ed Tabor and his Flying
Sportsman Lodge and Magdalena Bay Village resorts?

Here ya go:
Although Cabo San Lucas' first connections to the outer world were by land and by sea, it was the connection by air that was most important in
shaping the Los Cabos Corridor as we now know it. The first airline to service southern Baja California was Aeronaves de Mexico, which began flights
between the mainland and La Paz in 1941. After World War II, Mayo Obregón, established Trans Mar de Cortes using war surplus DC-3s
and hiring as his first pilot, none other than Luis Coppola Bonillas, who would later own the Hotel Los Arcos and build the Hotel Finisterra (it was a
small world in those days). Other early airlines and air taxi services included independent bush pilots such as Francisco Munoz, and companies such as
Servicios Aereos de La Paz (later Aerocalifornia) and Lineas Aereas del Pacifico.

Still haven't heard anything about "the dinner" or "When Baja took flight" or "Ray" . . . (Obregon offered Ray free air and ground transportation,
boats, hotel rooms, meals, and any other support necessary to make his book possible.)
Now,back to the question. Baja had had centuries of neglect and isolation.
How do you compare or contrast their vision and current American vision.

If I had ELINVESTIG8R's skill, at this point, I would insert a headstone. It would say, RIP. Also would be W-T-F (before the stone sinks to page 40
something in the Baja general discussion forum).
I was hoping to hear tonearts and other comments, should the boyz meet tonight, with several bottles of tequilla.
Left out of this disastrous post, was the original dinner:
In the early 1950s and present at a fateful meeting (at Los Arcos) were four men who would witness and participate in the building of modern Baja:
Ray Cannon, newly published author of How To Fish The Pacific Coast and sport fishing columnist for the brand new weekly, Western Outdoor News; Mayo
Obregon, son of Mexico's former President, General Alvaro Obregon, and owner of the brand-new airline, Trans Mar de Cortes; Guillermo "Bill"
Escudero, Trans Mar de Cortes' La Paz manager; and Luis Coppola Bonillas, a pilot for Trans Mar de Cortes and the new owner of the Hotel Los Arcos.
It was one of those magic moments that occur perhaps only once in a lifetime, a night when the coming together of forces was little short of
miraculous.
Ray Cannon had come as a result of a telegram sent to Western Outdoor News the previous spring by Ed Tabor, who was struggling to establish his Flying
Sportsman Lodge in Loreto, a hundred miles up the coast.
The above is all taken from Ray Cannon's The Sea Of Cortez.
The boyz meet tonight, knowing what's written here on BN and other places.
