I really wanted to check it out closer but seeing the larger boat in the distance made me hold my course.

I wouldn't be hanging either. I had a similar experience on land about ten years ago. Good way to get "popped".

Just got back from Loreto and had much the same experience on San Bruno Reef. Just a bundle all packaged up with a yacht nearby pulling away. Maybe a trap, huh. Trolled by it but didn't stop and when I left the area, the yacht returned.



If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Not sure the size of the awaiting vessel, but that seems to be the reported procedure....dope brought north on larger vessels and handed off to smaller vessels for the trip to shore and points north.
My guess is that the boat you saw was going to pick up the load.

Yes, you are spot on. The bigger boat is called "The Mother Load"

I actually don't have a camera phone - I do keep a camera in my boat but really didn't want to slow down and cause anyone to take notice of me.

I really don't care if you believe me - I know what I saw.

When I lived in Baja Malibu a guy would be on the beach pretending to fish in middle of night-a boat would make the drop and up the ario it went. I would sometimes go up in the hills and spotlight them just to get a rush-they would chase but I'm ex army and was always able to escape.However on a boat much more tricky- in my eyes you did right.
