''SUPs will be delivered to us in BCS and I think we will leave from Loreto and head south in the Sea of Cortez.''
.....be sure to take a couple of patio-umbrellas for sails,,usually a good breeze from the north!

fishing rods?
We're trying to make a final decision on fishing equipment. It needs to break-down, relatively lightweight, sturdy and dependable for months of
shore-fishing. We are inexperienced when it comes to brands. Any ideas?
We're looking at something like Cabela's salt striker line...

I would ask the locals to show you their spots and what they are using...depending if you on the ocean or the Bay...don't listen to these wise
"crackers" here. | Quote: | Originally posted by whatiswest

If they wait until they can ask the locals, How are they supposed to buy their equipment. You deliver?

i'm sure the locals would sell them equipment there, or for a price let them borrow it...for a price. | Quote: | Originally posted by rts551

No Terry, I think they need you for security, you never know what they might run into...I am fine staying in my own zone of comfort..which is near
modern conveniences.

Go to bloody decks website. They will tell you what to bring and teach you some salty fishing lingo. Also is another place to troll for audience
members for your reality show.

Ronko pocket fisherman, 15 lb test line and some lures for surf fishing. Seriously, light enough to backpack, and expensive enough to lose and not
care. Works ok

We're trying to make a final decision on fishing
First off.......do you know how to fish? It's not all about throwing in an line and hoping for a hit. Any of the guys over in the BN's Fishing Topic
will lecture you about that.
Few things at least to know is........what fish to go after at what season of the year. What is the habits of fish. Live bait verses lures. Current to
water temperatures.
Bottom fishing and surf fishing is the easiest. .......but you need to know about that too. It's NOT just about what rod or type of line!
As I said before........you guys are poorly planned, sounds like not much experience on primitive exploring. Y
You still have not publish any sort of game plan here. Certainly you MUST have a drawn path that you are going to take.......Sorry...I still say you
guys are just looking for a free vacation. This so called "walking Baja" is nothing compare to Graham's trek (he actually walked it without a crew...
feeding and bathing him each night).
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

As I said before, McFez, these guys, from what I have read about them, are clearly looking for an adventure. I don't think they know much about Baja,
but one thing they are capable of is speaking enough Spanish to ask for the nearest taco stand or motel if all else fails. If they start their trek
soon enough, they will avoid the heat and they are young and healthy enough to probably make it. They are from Malibu, Pepperdyne University. I
think they are asking things cause they really don't know, sort of like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Disneyland...the more off the beaten path, the more
exotic, the more appeal it has. | Quote: | Originally posted by mcfez

You heard correctly, we are walking and stand up paddling the Peninsula!
Well Doctor Baja.......
Their announcement from the beginning said "You heard correctly, we are walking and stand up paddling the Peninsula! " That's my beef with this whole
thing. They are not. They are using transport for all of their equipment .....and whatever else. Hell......I at age 59 can walk the Baja too, as they
claim to be doing. Walk a few miles....and presto...there's a crew with camp set up, din din hot and ready....perhaps a DVD to watch.
No no........their opening statement (using Graham as a reference of name in the post) made it sound like they are toughing it out. No donkey....just
a fully equipped motor-home.
Ask for Pay Pay was another blunder. These guys have no idea of the cost.....no finale planning....and asking for money? No no!
Hell...I keep asking for them to post some very simple information here about the path they are planning to take....what type of crew and
vehicle.......all to no answers.
Something(s) dont add up with all of this.

Generation Y is just like previous generations: has youthful enthusiasm that can overcome naïveté. They will do fine, they got smart phones and spot
and can call mom, dad and nomads if they run out of frijoles or huevos.
Heck, I did stuff like this before we had the Internet to look up instructions

Well shoot McFez, you don't expect any guys from Malibu used to comfort creatures to rough it all the way now do you? They might have a bright idea
there. They won't be wearing themselves out, can take breaks and showers, and get a good night's sleep, they might make it after all. Look at all
those survivors shows...they have camera, crew and first aid available. This will certainly not be the Blair Witch Project II... | Quote: | Originally posted by mcfez
