Navy Patrol Boat off Pta. Teresa
Came up quick on a roaring course to the north. It looked to doing about 45-50 knots. Hard to outrun that rig.
Good thing my rum-runner days are over....
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

You know, this goes for there air craft, choppers every thing, they all go so fast that how in the hell can they see what they are suppose to when on
patrol? All they do is show off. Cartel are probably waving at them laphing there ass's off as they go by.

I wouldn't want to be the one dragging the gas cans out to that thing.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

I was out on the bay in San Diego on Friday, and two of our navy ones, very similar to the one in the photo came ROARING past our sailboat.
They were badass-looking things.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Luv that rig  a whole lot faster than the one I ran for a year
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

I saw that one, or one very similar, roaring north as I was anchored on El Bajo (off La Paz) a couple years ago. It wasn't checking fishing licenses.

They have checked licenses in the past out here, probably looking for other things using a license excuse. They always fly by me.
Usually it seems that 2 planes fly by and scout the area and then the boats come behind and probably check out whatever the planes spotted.

Remember in the '70's the Mex navy had surplus PT boats and patrolled Conception Bay for awhile in those. You could hear them coming way before you
could see them. When they stopped patrolling the netters came back and cleaned out the bay.
