    Mexican Soccer Star Kidnapped

    This is just sad... I wonder if an event like this will finally get the people to stand up to corruption and violence that is tearing the country apart. http://www.espnfc.us/copa-america/story/2882611/mexico-international-alan-pulido-kidnapped-in-homeland

    New options to get to Penasco

    Then just ignore him, or even better, click the ignore button. Don't acknowledge his posts if you don't find them useful.

    New options to get to Penasco

    He's right here... Instead of worrying about what Jerry is saying, why not just start a thread about your most recent trip. Maybe the restaurants you visited, activities you participated in, the weather, the fishing, etc... If you feel that Jerry jumps in and says something you don't like, just...

    New options to get to Penasco

    So some people are upset about other peoples negativity and are going to "quit the forum". Instead of just leaving since it's so unbearable, they decide to leave a negative post about the negativity before they are apparently leaving. Makes sense. I have a better idea... How about adopting the...

    New options to get to Penasco

    I saw this last week and think it would be a great addition if they can make it work financially. I tried to book something as a test but it looks like the deal hasn't been finalized yet.

    Homeport: All Ideas Welcome, What will work. good bad ugly bring it on!!!

    I don't think the coastal highway can be compared to the home port though. Many of us have been saying that the coastal highway is the exact type of infrastructure that RP needs in order to one day support something like a home port. I just think that they're trying to hit home runs without...

    Homeport: All Ideas Welcome, What will work. good bad ugly bring it on!!!

    So after several years of missed deadlines, embezzlement and cost overruns, we still can't call it a failure? Does this mean we still need hold off judgement on Las Palomas Phase 3, Esmerelda, Tesoro, etc?

    Vaquita, totoaba protection not working

    Does anyone know how big of an industry fishing in the Gulf of California is for Mexico? Would banning all commercial fishing in the Upper Gulf be feasible?

    Little girl that crossed at Sasabe reflects back

    Agree with Jerry, he should be able to stay as long as the language/racial slurs are cleaned up. "Free Speech" as he would like doesn't apply on a forum. People pay to keep this site online and they can choose what is acceptable and what's not.

    El Homeport(the fish rots from the head)Penasco Digital report

    Too bad they didn't use all this money to help preserve the marine life that's left in the Sea of Cortez. It sounds like several species are on borrowed time due to illegal fishing and here they're throwing millions at this ridiculous project.

    Tessoro At Las Conchas

    285k in cash can buy you a really nice (and finished) place on Sandy Beach. Why dive into that mess at Tesoro?

    Pot laws for individuals in Mex?

    Yeah you definitely still need to be discreet about it. I guess what I was trying to say is that if you were caught, it's not like you'll end up in a gulag for 20 years like some countries. Worst case scenario is probably an empty wallet or trip to the ATM.

    Pot laws for individuals in Mex?

    http://mobile.nytimes.com/2009/08/21/world/americas/21mexico.html?referer= You still need to be discreet about it, but yeah not that big of a deal. Pretty much any taxi driver can arrange it.

    asked for the millionth time: auto insurance private vehicle

    Its written by the Mexican companies, AAA is basically a reseller. I'm just hopeful that they could be of help if something happened.

    asked for the millionth time: auto insurance private vehicle

    I've been buying through AAA. I used to buy along the road in Ajo back in the day, but had a minor accident and it was basically impossible to get paid. I figure if something happens, at least I have AAA as a liason to help me with the Mexican insurer.

    Safest way to rent condo directly from owner

    I've rented through VRBO and it has been cheaper than direct w/ Las Palomas. Just makes sure that your reservation is still through the resort though. You shouldn't be checking in as an owner, or friend of the owner. You should be checking in as a guest on vacation at the front desk. Basically...

    Huge Shark caught

    Why didn't they let it go? A quick Google search indicates that mako sharks are endangered. http://www.newsweek.com/shark-meat-its-whats-dinner-264646
