Good to hear that you are there and reporting "live". We rent palapa 7, please tell me that everything is still there. Is the wind still blowing dust
over everything? The last time we were there, November, the sand accumulation was horrible. Did you find out why Rafael graded off the back 40? We
herd that the road had been graded for another 10 miles past the black top, true?
Thanks for the help,
Jim D.

Yes it is Doug and Deb's old place. Mike, my son in law, and Glen were the other two. As you probably know Glen died and Brenda didn't want to come
down any more, Doug bought their trailer and put in front of his chateau in Alfonsinas, "capitalist dog".
Doug took the other little trailer and gave it to a fellow who is supposed to do outboard repair. This however remains to be seen.
What did Chris do with his boat?
Sorry to see Chris sell out. Everybody seems to be moving on. When we were there in November we were the only ones in the palapas and yes the sea wall
was finnished. The sand was already up to the top in front of our place.
It took the nice lady who's husband runs the Pemex, three days to clean our two trailers and another half day for us when we got there, sand was
terrible.
Hope that we will get an opportunity to meet you I am not sure when we will be coming down. We just returned from overseas and will be probably be
going back in June.
Thanks again for the heads up,
Jim D.

Instead of reducing a photo to post here... use a photo hosting web site that can resize the image so it is still 'big' and that way no Nomad space is
used... and you can post several photos in on post... See my how to post a photo on Nomad post (in the photos forum).

How many planes do you expect this weekend?
Me and the Mrs. plan to fly down there for the weekend. I hear a good size group of pilots will be there.
Have the winds been somewhat calm this last week?
Think parking at Alphys will be any problem?
Thanks CJ

Mucho Viento
Last night we had 40 knots out of the west. This morning more of the same from the SW...blew a lot of dust on the Palapas..don't think I would stay
there. Alfy's cantina is chockablock.
Temp is around 80 but the wind makes it cold.

Gonzaga Bay internet
We have HughesNet sat internet and a solar electricity system. We have been here since 1979 and I gotta tell you this place is pretty close to
downtown anywhere if you look at the stuff that is available to you by unusual means....The solar electric plant we have produces 36 amps of 120v AC
and gives us power all night via some big L-16 solar batteries. The batteries are charged back to full everyday by about noon if the sun is
shining....1500 if it isn't. The Sat internet is pretty good too....fast downloads and kinda slow uploads. We can use SKYPE for voice and video
calls to another computer with good results....but the computer to phone calls suffer from breakup and delay due to the uplink speed. That should be
getting better.
We still use salt water toilets and fresh water outa a barrel for washing with drinking water coming from the Rancho Grande RO system. We use propane
for cooking and water heating.
All the comforts of "home" which this place is for us a large part of the time.
Most of the fun for me is tinkering...I LOVE to make stuff work and, especially, stuff that is produces something that is hard to get in a place like
this such as electricity, sat internet and a hot shower.
