Don't cry for me, Baja Surrrrr...la, la, la..eat your heart out, Madonna.
Hey Nomads...I posted this on another thread about what was the canary,etc..but thought I should give this more exposure.
ABOUT POMPANO LEAVING BAJA...?? IT AIN'T SO!!
Hah..I see the rumor mill is grinding away...which is okay, it's all part of the experience south of the border. 
But...Who said I was leaving Baja?
Hells Bells..I could never leave my old mistress, we have way too much good history together.
As a matter of fact, I am driving OldSouthwind
down the Baja Road tomorrow..for round trip number 151 (roughly guessing)
Attention: Heading south from Chula Vista around noon tomorrow if anyone is in the vicinity and wants to caravan, ride point, ride drag, ride
shotgun, and tell tale tales over a campfire.
I'm looking forward to some great yellowtail and pinto fishing...plus I need my Coyote Bay sunrises. I will be in Baja..on and off...for the
remainder of the 2011 campaign. Leave Baja? Not on your life.
PLUS…I would greatly miss the ‘tasty treats’ of Baja….aaaahh…drool…
Yes, I have way too much heart-time invested in Baja to imagine the last half of my life without her. Plus, now that I have fewer house-anchors to
steal away my time and energy, I'll have time to finish an old objective..a book about a personal life and times in Baja. No, no..it's not quite
finished yet...nor is page one! But I consider it...'a work in progress'.
Piled up in Coyote Bay, I have a rooms full of photos, stories, journals, laughs, groans, events, and wierd happenings that beckon me to unpack,
review, organize, save, shredd??, and finally write about...Baja. 
So...it's that time...the work will begin Very Soon. Very, very soon.. I am eager to begin...soon, soon.
Well.... maybe Soon after ..."the next boating day on the magical Cortez"...or maybe two days...three? Yeah!  After allo, we must be realistic about all that work. One simply cannot toil day
in and day out...one needs to ...'relax'...or you get stale. Am I right?
.
I will soon be back at my old Baja haunts...on land and sea... and cannot wait for that first bzzz...bzzzzzz.....bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! as the bigeye
bait is taken down, down..down.
Hey!, what are you waiting for? Someone engage the drag?...thumb the line?!...do something!.. besides smile...
.
.
The last few weeks have been ...exciting. It’s all about being a NOMAD, right? Been to some places I could have done without, but was at some truly
wonderful other places and events that deserve a story of thier own..but that's for a another time and thread.
Now it's all about..
"Baja Here We Come..again."
Pssst...Hey MacyMan..save my chair at the poker table. See you Monday at Santispac.
Well, we need some rest before the big push manana. So hasta la vista down Baja-way, mi amigos.

Amazing how the stories start flying. Hope to be on that road soon myself, as soon as that dirty four letter word, work, allows me.

I moved to CO and they made me buy a little rod to make it feel like a real fish

Muchas gracias, all..
We are on the way back to Baja as I type...
We are now very close to the border at I-5 San Ysidro now, and my aircard internet reception will soon fade away...so this is our last post until we
stop at some wi-fi hot spot down the road.
It'll be nice to be back home again after being gone since mid-December. Baja adventures await.
Of small interest, as near as I can calculate, this is the start of round trip number 151..holy huevos, that's over 300 trips up and down this
gorgeous piece of real estate. Why am I so anxious to see it all again...? 
Yes...we all know why.
