Yes, skeet thinks he is the high moral ground, what a load of BS
As to the ship ... the harbor master must have given clearance for the ship to enter .
Also there are several times I have not disembarked at a port as all that was for sale was overpriced junk ...

Sounds like it could be business as usual in the heralded Marine Park. Will it become the new fatted calf, now that Loreto Bay is virtually defunct?

Well I was mis-informed and then corrected during the sport fishing sector meeting. It is open to the public and Don was welcomed and will be next
time. (june 10) Between me and Don we could scrape together at least $50 bucks so we've got the money part covered.
No, this time it will be different. It is already different. I could go on for a long time at how different it is now than when the last plans were
decided upon. We're using the transparency laws and they're a beautiful thing. I hope that Guaymas, being ready for it, gets all the large cruise
ships and resorts and we keep the smaller lower impact eco cruises and resorts. Our infrastructure wouldn't be overburdened and either would our
population and its resources.

Is Mexico embracing Sarbanes Oxley?
If so, that would be a significant shift in the status quo.
And, a great positive guidance plan for the future for the bureaucracy.

well since I didn't know what the hell this was I looked it up and found this in Espanol
http://www.gestiopolis.com/canales3/ger/oxley.htm
seems like the answer to your question is yes.
I think it called La ley de transperencia and applies to a wide range of issues political, public and private. Obviously needs some work here but as far as Marine Park issues here and public hearings its looking pretty
impressive.
one thing the Public hearing for the Puerto Escondido project, proposing $1.6 Billion to develop PE. I went to that meeting and it was obvious that
Fonatur had no idea what they were up against. Like deer caught in headlights. They are being challenged and have to meet these challenges before
they can proceed. Same for the Loreto Riviera Project. this is all new and only being exercised now.
Here's a bit of info for all you Baja lovers... did you know there are already permits approved for over 45 new golf courses in BCS? well there is
but they're not built yet and they are being challenged. the people's voice is important they are in charge. we're educating them and our voices are
coming together. I think we will have a major decision on how this place develops. AND people in other places will be watching and learning from our
example.

Pam- As exorcised as you were about this ship, considering it has the world to travel, and very wealthy people aboard, chances are you might see that
ship once a year, if ever again. The Holland America itinerary only runs for about four- five months a year, and, although you may feel slighted, the
primary destination for that ship is Topolobampo, for a day long excursion into the Copper Canyon. They use Loreto, more as a convenient stop on the
way.

I already looked at their itinerary and through january 2011 it will be busy in other places. I know we may never see it again but I'm wondering
what will be next.

My parents went on this ship a few years ago....they got it for free cause my mom was selling one or something. My dad didn't care for it. He said
you had to wear a sport coat everywhere and the people were so rich you couldnt really relate to them.
They said teh only cool thing was the units are equiped with a fancy fire system that allows the unit to have a kitchen and then you can buy meals to
be cooked in your unit.

Just wonder who, that could afford to be aboard, would even know how to cook? Or ever did.

There's nothing to do on these floating hotels except to to eat and poop. You can play shuffle board, dance, play bingo, and dink around with all of
the above, but the bottom line is the same.
