Maiden fishing voyage of Juan's new panga a success!
Our new panga performed well on her maiden voyage in Asuncion. Juan took 4 big guys who flew in here from Oregon to fish. Even though it was a full
moon(not good for fishing) they found fish 2 miles off of San Pablo and had a blast losing more fish than they caught! and they saw lots of whales
passing by as they fished. Juan doesn't have the new bigger motor on yet as he's missing a steering wheel but he was really happy with the more
spacious panga.

Wow, looks beautiful all painted-up! My collar bone is about 3/4 healed so maybe I can fish now!

Hey Gypsies! How long did it take to drive from San Diego to Shari's. Was it difficult to do in 1 day? Sounds painful! But I might try.

It is a good 12 hours driving like my husband does . I think it is probably
closer to 14 or so hours, not many people drive as fast as he does.

11-12 hours from our door in SD to our door in Asuncion. We get pesos at the third toll booth, gas at El Rosario, gas at Vizcaino (beer and chips
across the street), switch over to Sirius Blues and take our time on the dirt road. I don't really drive very fast but we limit our stops. Of course
this time of year there is more traffic and thus will add a bit more time.

More traffic?
Still not a bad idea to do it with a stop at San Quintin( or El Rosario ). I have about 1.5hrs more from Costa Mesa.
I drive a little fast. There's a couple of spots there that I hit 100mph. Mostly 80-90 on the straight parts.
Can't wait to start flying down. It will be much safer.

Yep, much more traffic in winter than summer months. This time of year you have snowbirds and the RVs. 100mph....you're hauling booty!

Wow! Now your talkin! Beautiful boat, there will be many a fine fish over those sides!
Nice to see Juan pouring the Tecate on the boat before drinking it, I have been known to do it the other way around.
