Baja "Pesca" director lost at sea......
ENSENADA.- El director de Pesca del Estado, Juan Nemesio Murillo Murillo, se encuentra entre los cinco de los siete tripulantes que siguen extraviados
después de que se volcara su embarcación en el tramo Punta Eugenia-Isla de Cedros.
De acuerdo a la información oficial, la lancha “MAKO II” partió rumbo a la isla la tarde del martes para trasladar a siete integrantes de la
cooperativa Productores Nacionales de Abulón que asistirían a una asamblea de dicho organismo.
Se estima que la embarcación se volteó a 18 kilómetros aproximadamente al Sur de Isla Cedros, sin embargo, dos de los tripulantes, Antonio Victorio
Moreno y Francisco Tapia Meillón, fueron encontrados a la altura de Bahía Tortugas, aferrados a la embarcación.
Junto con ellos también viajaban Ricardo Castro Villa Fuente, Ramona Castro Villegas, Juan Carlos Ojeda y José Castro Cervera, todos ellos extraviados
junto con el director de Pesca y socios de la cooperativa de Productores Nacionales de Abulón.
Los dos tripulantes que fueron encontrados, fueron trasladados de inmediato para que recibieran atención médica.
Para la búsqueda de las personas que siguen extraviadas, se puso en marcha un operativo con el apoyo de un avión del Gobierno del Estado y otra
aeronave privada, así como también dos interceptoras la Armada de México y cuando menos una decena de embarcaciones de varias organizaciones de
pescadores.
Aunque todavía no ha sido confirmado, el director de Capitanía de Puerto en Isla de Cedros, Isaac Vargas, señaló que el accidente se debió a una
descompostura en la lancha; otras versiones atribuyen el incidente al mal tiempo.
Por su parte, el secretario de Pesca y Acuacultura, Carlos Fernández Ruiz, comunicó que hoy continuará la búsqueda de los náufragos, pues mantienen la
esperanza de encontrarlos con vida.
Indicó que a pesar de que no se encuentra en la entidad, el gobernador José Guadalupe Osuna Millán se está enterado del asunto y ha girado
instrucciones para que se mantenga la búsqueda y se atienda a los familiares de las personas extraviadas.

Five Missing After Boat Capsizes off Baja Coast
http://www.sandiegored.com/noticias/23048/Five-missing-after...
TIJUANA – Five men, including the Baja California’s fisheries’ chief, remain missing after their boat capsized during the storm that rolled through
the region Tuesday.
“A small motor flaw” and a large wave combined to overturn the boat, according to two fishermen who were rescued.
Despite the poor weather conditions Thursday, authorities and private fishing groups continued searching for the missing men in the waters off Punta
Eugenia, near the border with Baja California Sur.
Carlos Fernández, director of Baja California’s fishing and aquaculture agency, said that 30 vessels scoured the area looking for the men. He
identified them as Ricardo Castro Villafuerte, Ramona Castro Villegas, José Castro Cervera, Juan Carlos Ojeda and Juan Nemesio Murillo Murillo.
Murillo is the director of the fishing for the state and had boarded the boat in Ensenada along with six fishermen on Tuesday en route to Cedros
Island to attend a meeting of the national association of
abalone fishing.
On Wednesday, two of them were found clinging to the capsized boat.
An airplane and two of the association’s boats joined two planes and ships from Mexico’s navy in the searching near the coast at Punta Eugenia,
located on the border with Baja California Sur, Fernández said.
In all, some 60 to 70 people plus 20 divers were participating in the search, he added.
The two fishermen who were rescued, Antonio Victorio Moreno and Francisco Tapia Mellón, described their ordeal to authorities on Thursday.
Fernández said that a combination of factors capsized the boat. First, the vessel had a small flaw in its motor but was operational.
“A little after leaving,” he said, “a wave caused by the poor weather in the area overturned the vessel.”
He said the search would continue Friday.

I wonder if BajaGringo has a personal connection to this from his Abalone project.

Very, very sad for the families. 
From what we have heard, there has been a recent problem with the abalone at Cedros. They have monitoring equipment there and it appears there has
been a lack of oxygen. Perhaps that was the reason for the meeting.

Punta Eugenia is just north of Tortugas, right? Diana has posted pics from a land trip there I believe. San Diego was hit hard by Tuesdays storm;
Ensenada, too? Any updates? Cold waters won't allow a person to survive 24 hrs normally. Tio

Yo would think they could have found a better boat. "The vessel had a small flaw in its motor but was operational." Sure, you can fly a plane on one
engine too I suppose.

With the storm, and the currents in the Cedros area in opposition to the wind, it must have been pretty ugly on the water. Something as small as some
fuel tank sediment plugging a filter, or some water in a fuel tank getting sucked up and plugging a jet.
When things go wrong, they become an avalanche of little things that when added one to another, become enough to kill you.
I hope the missing men are found, but with the rough seas, the cold water, no PFD's..............?
Very sad situation.

It is rare around our area to see a fisherman with a PFD and when they take their families out, much of the time, the children are without PFDs, and
as a man of the sea, you know how fast things can happen no matter how experienced the crew. So ver tragic.
And tiotomasbcs, yes Punta Eugenia is n/w of Tortugas out on the point of the big hook. It is a beautiful place.

Diana, I grew up in the era where any recognition of the risks of injury or death was viewed as weakness. No gloves when pouring concrete or working
with solvents, no ear protection when using planers or in the engine room, no particle masks when sanding fiberglass......
I have some big health debts that I will be paying for soon.
So Stupid!!!
It was the same thing with PFD's and marine safety. I think that Mexican fishermen have grown up in a similar environment of denial. It's something
we, and the Mexican government can do something about. We can help by bringing down children's PFD's and giving them away, and the government can help
with a safety awareness campaign.
Perhaps this tragedy, and the fact that an influential fisheries related person has apparantely been lost, will be the motivation needed to at least
start thinking about it.

Life jackets? If one has been taught that to die is to be called home to a much better place, and that one is powerless to alter the time and place
of dying, is it not the most pure demonstration of faith to deny one's children a life vest? ...to not wear one one's self? Is there no truth here?
We are generally denied the right to question such "faith".
My truth is that neither machiso nor delusion frees one of the moral obligation to MAKE a kid wear a PFD.
Back on topic...
I'm sorry for the loss of these men, but if in fact as professional stewards of the fishery they went to sea without PFDs, its a micro burst of
evolution by natural selection, and that is often very sad in the short term. Thankfully, in my own experience of drowning, only the first part is
bad. I hope it was the same for them. I trust that faith will do its job and sustain the families if that is their practice.
It all seems so avoidable.

sad and bad.
take your pick - lots of regs like US coastguard rules etc - or no/little guvmint oversight or interferrence and free will to judge your own situation
and behavior.
it's a forever argument.
like the laws here that say no kids in back of pick up trucks when driving. Never could pass in AZ cause impossible to enforce on the reservations and
hispanic communities where they [families] had one rig, a pick up truck, and 7 kids to cart around.
The sea scares me more than anything i have encountered in the skies.

Translation from the Enenada.net article......
All were alive after dump the Mako II boat one boat less than 23 feet in length (7metros) on Board of which traveled seven people noted Pesca
Secretary Carlos Fernández Ruiz to reveal part of the statements of the two survivors of the shipwreck.
According to the story of Antonio Victorio Moreno and Francisco Tapia Mellón, the survivors after the accident, seven remained clinging to the vessel
pantoqueada knowing that they were close to the coast, but as they spent hours one were dropping.
Survivors point out that apparently the intention was to reach Punta Eugenia, the coast more nearby that the accident was a few kilometers from the
place where they had sailed in Punta Eugenia.
This area is traveled on foot for about 60 elements of the Navy who have made long walks to review the sites where the castaways could have been
dragged.
According to the Secretary for fisheries, who gave a press conference to publicize the search progress, acknowledged that as the hours pass, the
chances of finding survivors are reduced.
However he clarified "although so far not found any of the missing five, it has not dropped their guard, continues the search and are hopeful"
Accompanied by the Commissioner of fisheries Ramón Corral Avila who made a tour of the entity, confirmed that they had managed to secure a helicopter
of Navy or you can fly closer water and slow to find in the area.
At the same time, the Mexico Navy, who coordinated the search, has studies of flows and how coordinates the bodies moving in this region which would
tend to the South, towards Bay of turtles or even to Asuncion Bay.
One of the expectations is the rapporteurship of the survivors and curricula of the Navy within search and rescue where they have studies of how they
behave the bodies in this area what is different if it must vest lifeboat or if it does not, the flow of currents pulls him differently.
In this case, all were clinging to the vessel but were close to the coast and considered that they were dropping apparently to swim to the coast by
what could be on beaches, rocks, cliffs or islands because they were not beaten in the boat but if they were dropping in different times
Fernández Ruiz Recordó the wreck of Erick boat angling wrecked on the shores of the Gulf of California on July 3, 2011.
Erick disaster there were people who swam up to five hours at a time and the last rescue of a person with life was 32 hours later and had the broken
leg.
They finally reported that since Thursday, relatives of the disappeared have moved to Bahía Tortugas, waiting for news while the President of the
FEDECOP this also in Bahía Tortugas watching needs in the area
It should be noted that this day officials will travel to the area of the wreck and interview with families of the victims.

i was told from a friend who lives at Isla de Cedros, that it was a annual meeting that takes place after the end of the lobster season, also that
most on that boat are from Isla with families there.
my condolence to the people of Isla, and the families of those lost at sea.
