salvaged what he could. He has been working getting stuff out using a panga and a hooka. Last I saw him he had some glimmer of hope. His boat is
off el Datil and he has a game plan. He asked to contact my bro. about the game and getting it produced overseas since my bro. already works over
there. He said all the plans and drawings and rules for the game were on his computer that went down with the ship. He said a family member has an
actual prototype that he made and that he'll be getting that back to reverse engineer it back into a production ready format. |

maybe it was the black pearl coming in with the fog that got him.
game is the common thread-
sand bar and stripped or submerged in a hooka
something happened!
Could he be living his game and this is where the roll of the dice placed him.
THE MINNOW must be lost!!!!!

I ran into Michael and Carolanne in La Paz at the Yeneka Hotel during semana santa. I would perhaps have been a bit incredulous as well if it were
not for the video footage that I watched with them of his attempted recovery operations using an ancient ab-diver hookah rig. Harrowing stuff. They
have indeed been through the mill on this one and deserve some sympathy - shipwrecks do happen, and when it happens to you, you'll wish a kind hearted
passerby wasn't so rare in this world...

I do hope they get afloat soon.
Were the pirates on the video between the ufo and sasquatch footage?
I think the pirates shipwrecked the sympathy in this thread.

Pirates do exist, and it appears you watched so much Johnny Depp and no longer understand the language. The word "pirate" basicly means
bad-guy-traveling-by-boat-to-commit-crime. Y'all are very naive to think a stranded cruiser in remote Baja won't get robbbed by some bad guys passing
by in a boat. And you are a real dumb bunny if you don't think bad guys have boats.

They could be called looters, thieves, low life trash etc. "Pirates" sound a bit dramatic. All the makings of a novel.
Used to date a few dumb bunnies.

Rumors from the "Nautical Grapevine Are ".....Ive heard Carolanne parents are richer than god. She has a substantial trust fund. She put up the money
to purchase the boat for them. He was a yachtsalesman/scamartist with absolutely no offshore expierience. As the old saying goes ...You get what you
pay for.... As for Pirates.......well lets here some more specific details of their --PIRATE ATTACK-- and how they suevived???

So the true story is the guy fell asleep at anchor too close to the beach. he started by breaking rule #1 and has since dug an even deeper hole. you
gotta feel sorry for the guy cause he did lose his boat. but if anything washes up unattended near datil you gotta expect the locals to go out and
see what they can get. pirates i think not. datil is about as remote as you can get in baja these days and a big unattended boat on the beach is
fair game. the guy spent so much energy blasting the locals for taking his gear that he used up all the good will that he WAS getting. he did get
alot of his stuff taken off the boat back. supposedly it was a dangerous feat to get stuff off the boat so he should feel lucky. hostage. just
because you didn't get a ride for a couple of days doesn't mean you were held hostage. especially when you do something so criminally stupid as
falling asleep at the helm.
i also heard the guy was claiming broke asking everybody in sight for help and didn't really need financial help. KOOK. and then to start spreading
rumors that could scare people. KOOK. baja ain't for you buddy go back to where you came from. you're lucky you're alive.
