    The REEF RV Park

    Is that because of the nights when they have cheap drink specials at Wrecked at the Reef bar and the younger locals come down to hear dance music? I've seen photos of back when it first opened and they had speakers (and/or DJs) right there on the beach, but wasn't sure if it was as popular these...

    But look at that tiny anchor up front! Maybe they've got it more secure by now in the rear. http://www.rockypointtalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3544&d=1319657703

    Fiesta cruiser shipwrecked, tourist dies

    Here's another article about the incident, along with a photo of the wrecked boat during high tide on Sandy Beach. I'm surprised it didn't get taken back out to sea later that night on the next high tide. (Sorry, it won't let me link the translated version.)...

    Mirador Nights

    What are the new joints, where are they (or what was the name of the business that used to occupy the building?) and do you remember the names?

    Somebody Caught a REALLY Big Fish this Weekend!

    http://th71.photobucket.com/albums/i154/pallen56/th_roger1.jpg Gee, I dunno', if it's good enough for Roger Clyne, it's good enough for me! I've seen him wear many similar to this one over the years, and there's a video he made for a recent Circus Mexicus promo, wearing one as he walked around...

    Nice cut-and-pasting job, "Evil Tim." What a d-bag.

    Is it safe to drive?

    As far as the actual drive goes, I've been going down regularly at all times of day and night for almost 25 years and never had an issue, outside of a cow or horse crossing at night, though I've seen more of those on the US side. (Sells in particular.) This even includes an 11pm flat tire change...

    In a sad bit of irony, toward the bottom of the main website at http://fiestacruiser.com/ there is big red section advertising an insurance company for visitors to Penasco--more general in natural, not specifically for their cruises--stating "The Emergency Services Response Team is at your...

    Was the port shut down while the boat was stuck on that initial sandbar? The passenger's account earlier stated that it was sitting there for up to an hour. Damn shame everyone wasn't let out at that point.

    Finally the link for SAGARPA/SENASICA regulations in English

    That defaulted to the Spanish version, but if you click on the upper-right corner, the English version is here: http://www.senasica.gob.mx/?Idioma=2&id=622

    New RP Travel Guide

    Was just about to say, who wants to carry around a book that will be outdated in less than a year? Then I noticed this! Although I probably went through half-a-dozen or more copies of the old The Rocky Point Gringo Guide (you may be able to pick one up at your local Bookman's), things are...

    Fiesta cruiser shipwrecked, tourist dies

    Probably in poor taste to speculate so early on, but a person who knew someone on the boat had mentioned a drowning on Russ's Facebook wall around 10am. Combine that with the article posted above, and how sad to think that she may have collapsed on the walk back to the beach from the boat and...

    http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=ISONORAP1&day=25&year=2011&month=10 If you look at the gusts and sustained wind on the 3rd graph down on this link for yesterday's Penasco hourly weather conditions, it appears as though the wind (at least way over at the Casa...

    Fiesta cruiser shipwrecked, tourist dies

    As I've seen it drag back and forth while enjoying a sunset from afar at various establishments along the Malecon, I've noticed the rust along the bottom has gotten more prominent over the last year. Maybe they're just not painting over it as often anymore, but I remember a friend making the...

    New trouble on the road between Sonoyta and Puerto Penasco

    This Google translation actually is readable: **WHOOPS! Sorry I posted the Spanish version by accident before.** A total of nine dead bodies with gunshot wounds and his hands tied behind their backs, were located in the towns of Agua Prieta and Sonoyta, at dawn yesterday. The spokesman for...

    Wow. How awful. Until I saw the Fiesta Cruiser official website, I kept thinking, "No, it couldn't be that giant white ship," but it is! http://fiestacruiser.com/ Pretty scary, and I just made a comment the other day about how the local tour boats never seem go past Whale Mountain on the sunset...

    Even More Ridiculous...

    This article seemed relevant to the discussion at the beginning of the thread re: the X-Ray machines going IN to Mexico. "In '07 operation, it pressed informant to get firearms south, beyond scrutiny Files: ATF knew gun sales were a problem"...
