We're talking about two different things. The transmission of the virus vs. the shelf life of the virus, itself.

"While reviewing the data, he (Bill Bryan, under secretary for Science and Technology at DHS) was clear about the study. Increased temperature, humidity and UV rays from the sun reduce the presence of the virus over minutes instead of hours or days."

The endpoint that everybody should be interested in is the transmission to people. It's people that get sick, not a dumb boat.

What data, what sources, what study the undersecretary has reviewed is not known. The very terminology of these slides, i.e. "surface" VS "aerosol" is not a scientific level. More like a 7-grade level. I would guess it's on the president's level as well.

Feathers - as we were taking our daily walk yesterday morning, I saw a boat with 2 people on it right out in front of our houses. What's up with that?

They don't usually go out during the day but perhaps it was them.

This has absolutely nothing to do with boats but some friends wanted to come over the other day, they live in Abreojos, and the police did NOT let them come into La Bocana.

Wherever you ARE ............. Do Your Part.


I DO.

Having taken seriously the rules of behavior (masks, distancing, etc) structured by our membership campground in Poppet Flats and heeding their stated position that (due to limited enforcement personnel) they are dependent on the cooperation and vigilance of their membership to keep the facility open, as we follow those rules, we are reporting EVERY violation that we observe.

While I've been told to "MYOB" a couple of times and replied "it IS my business", I've been fairly successful. And, I'm sure appreciated.

Well, maybe, not so much by the scofflaws.

Work within the system to make the system work.

Back to the topic.

If you have to be "out there", be smart - get your flu shot. Yes, now if it's still available. And in the fall, since Cov-19 could come back again if we even manage to get rid of it this year. People who were recently vaccinated for viral and/or bacterial infectious diseases are less likely to become infected. An article submitted to LitCovid, a subgroup of PubMed if you are familiar with these databases: How to reduce the likelihood of infection.

They also suggest air purifiers and extensive use of UV lamps in hospitals. The search for effects of sun UV radiation and heat on Cov-19 fetched inconclusive results, I wouldn't bet on this - definitely doesn't outweigh social distancing and PPE.

Should be done with the project just in time to catch some fish as Baja comes back to life, just like the desert always does!

Yes it is a GM 3.0 140 hp mated to a Volvo 290 outdrive.

Both are recently rebuilt and I can do just about anything on the motor myself except for machine shop work and know enough about out drives to keep them reliable. The out drive on this Amato panga lifts out of the water completely and I love the full transom on this boat.

It was quite rough when I bought it but after stripping it down doing a bit of foredeck work, rewiring, new bait pump, 2 new bige pumps, tee top off, aluminum cleaned up, lots of glass work on the console, built in bait tank, etc etc new Garmin sounder, Icom radio it will soon be ready and 3 coats of polyurethane paint. Putting it back together next week.

I am lucky to have a shop in a beautiful place in a rural setting just a few miles from home in San Clemente. I sold my twin diesel Phoenix sportfisher 2 seasons ago and did not fish for over a year until I spent 2 months in Mag Bay last fall.

The panga pulls true and my 350 doesn't mind it at all. I like that this boat is narrow and I can trailer it in Baja without worry.

I spent many a season towing my Blackman 26 up and down Baja. I am too old for that now, haha. Looking forward to spending the coming season fishing all over Baja, again.

Very Nice! That should be a reliable combo. I always heard bad things about omc and merc outdrives but never Volvo. Maybe we´ll cross paths this year in Baja? Wahoo!

Looks great, Don! I love projects like yours...so fun customizing and improving boats like yours! Would love to see more pics of it when done.
