I believe that shipwreck is north west of Graham's location and is near Punta Los Machos, a great spot for yellowtail.

Regarding the ship wreck, I think it is the trawler ESCAMA.
We kayaked from La Gringa and camped at Este Ton in April 1993. A few miles north of Este Ton we encountered the trawler. I took two photos. It seemed
to have been recently abandoned. The grocery lists hanging in the galley were still fresh.
I may have copied this then, or looked it up later on the internet, but I have a note that the ship is: 2317 8030087 ESCAMA XVIII XCKK Trawler 244
1982 11 Mexico.
I asked Graham if he had seen it on his Marooned trip, and he hadn’t, but said his friend “Kayaker John” had photographed in in about 2006.

I got a message from Graham that he is having a hard time connecting with satellites.
This should be a good warning to those deciding between the Spot X and the Garmin inReach.
The inReach was flawless for me (in 2017 and 2018 traveling for Baja Bound guide research) to connect with Nomads and family, and easy to use. I never
failed to get a message out on the first try. Nomad StuckSucks and I would have two-way chats about what road I was on or what I was seeing there. TW,
Doug, and John M, as well, exchanged messages with me while I was in Baja, with the inReach.
To send Graham a message, I have to do a lot of editing on the reply email and make sure not to exceed 140 characters. The inReach also has a limit on
message size, but it is far more user-friendly. The main thing is that inReach uses the Iridium satellites and Spot does not.

The link works fine, and a little playing around with it gets me to what you have been posting. Do you know what Graham means by "DS" water?

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
