NOW I KNOW...
I have had difficulties in seeing videos on Nomads. I just saw the menu button at the top of the Nomad board (just below the Today's Posts).
It says "CLICK TO USE FLASH"

Udo, you must be a very special Nomad as on my screen to the left of the today's posts on mine is is the members list button. I don't see any flash
buttons!

(I have not been able to view any video posts on Nomad for over a year now.)
NICE!!!!!
Thanks, Doug!

Also, check your browser setup.
On my PC I set it up NOT to play any videos in browser. - got tired of commercials and other stupid videos that start playing automatically. Everybody
and his dog seems to put some video on his webpage these days. So, it displays a button "click to activate Flash".

Udo,
That's going to be on heck of a paddle....  :
" Isla Todos Santos is a pair of islands about 19.3 km (12.0 mi) off Ensenada, Baja California, at 31°47′59″N
116°47′20″WCoordinates: 31°47′59″N 116°47′20″W best known for surfing. Access is only by boat, which can be rented
in Ensenada, or La Bufadora.[1] The waves off the smallest island are among the biggest in North America. There are no facilities on the islands
except for two lighthouses. "
Don't believe everything you think....

His craft has a sail, but perhaps he should give it a bit more thought.

Hobie TI (I think they call it Mirage TI) does have a sail. 90 sq ft, unstayed loose-ftooted as I recall. Not the best performing shape. They could
make those 19 km in 2 hours if they get lucky - or they could have to paddle all day. Paddling-pedaling a craft like that I wouldn't want, not for 19
kms and/or in unfavorable wind and current conditions.
Now they know

I did this paddle many years ago. Had perfect ocean conditions - flat and glassy - started from La Bufadora. There's a little cove you pull into at
the southern tip, a pebble beach, and v. short climb to a plateau to camp. Fishing should be decent in the cove. A sea lion came into the cove and
entertained us. There is evidence of indigenous habitation from hundreds of years ago, and hundreds of birds that squawk all day. On the return
paddle, we wanted to catch the following sea, but not so as to take us away from our end point, so we paddled north a bit first - in the fog - very
disorienting - and heard the waves crashing to the west of us. Scared me, but soon were far enough away that that wasn't a concern. Bon voyage.

Thanks for the advice from every one.
If we have some wind, the sail to the island is about 2+ hours. We have a Lowrance HDS6 (chart plotter/gps/speed/temp/depth sonar/fish finder). We
also have a portable VHF radio.
Just in case we both get tired of paddling and pedaling we also have a TORQEEDO electric motor that replaces one of the pedals. Good for about 10
miles at 6 mph.
Our next trip will be to the blow hole.

Plus we have several other safety features built in:
Flare gun & flares
first aid kit
Live bait well
Live anchor on a roller system
Drogue chute
Ice chest mounts
BTW...today was the day we were going out, but the wind forecast was a blow-out, as DENNIS said.
