    San Carlos vs Rocky Point

    You're 100% correct Stuart, driving down Baja takes a little planning and the roads are pretty crazy at times. Sounds like you've seen a lot of beautiful places down there and had some very memorable experiences, good for you! So many places where you could have a great time kayaking Joe...

    San Carlos vs Rocky Point

    Lemme expand a little Joe. When driving down to San Carlos you'll probably pass through Caborca and Hermosillo, nothing much to see. Like I said once you get to San Carlos its beautiful, San Carlos isn't that big. Guaymas is much bigger, but I was not impressed with Guaymas, filthy, nothing much...

    San Carlos vs Rocky Point

    San Carlos is absolutely gorgeous, situated in beautiful bays, incredible marina/harbor. The drive down there is kinda boring, flat, desert, nothing much to see until you get to San Carlos. I travel down Baja all the time, there's not much in Bahia de Los Angeles (a few hotels and restaurants)...

    Today’s history lesson

    The English invented mayonnaise. People from Mexico tried it and loved it so they ordered cases of it. The English loaded cases of Mayonaisse onto the Titanic and they were going to deliver them to Mexico after stopping in America. But unfortunately as we all know the Titanic sunk. And that is...

    Ultra low sulphur diesel

    It'll probably take a year or two, but as Mexico privatizes its fuel stations hopefully ULSD will become more readily available.

    Ultra low sulphur diesel

    I've got a 2015 Ford F250 Diesel and drive it to Rocky Point and down Baja. I've read countless articles and information about this online and on a few different forums. Long long story short here's what I've gathered from all this info: 1. The diesel fuel in Mexico is not "bad". (but it is NOT...

    For sale: 2005 Chaparral Signature 240

    At first I thought you'd have to bring your boat to the border so they could look at the serial number and cancel the TIPS, but from online research is appears you can cancel your TIPS without them seeing your boat. What about all the guys who sell bigger boats farther south (Cabo, Puerto...

    For sale: 2005 Chaparral Signature 240

    Looking for anyone who has sold a boat located in Mexico. I may be selling the boat this weekend, and if the deal is made from what I've researched online looks like all I have to do is drive to a border entry that has a Banjercito and cancel my TIPS. The boat DOES NOT have to be brought to the...

    For sale: 2005 Chaparral Signature 240

    Unfortunately do not want to sell everything, but for personal reasons have to let it all go. 71 gallon tank. When I'd head out to the 50 marker for a few days I'd take a few 5-gallon gas containers with me, used a battery-operated fuel pump (comes with the boat) to fill er up. In calm...

    Forum Moderation

    Here's my point. As a recent example, read the thread "Hoolaaa anyone there" and in my opinion parts of that thread absolutely do not belong on a public forum. I'm not here to trash you Stuart, am just providing constructive criticism with positive intentions of making this forum a better place...

    Forum Moderation

    In my opinion anyone who's been watching this forum for any length of time I'm sure has seen how participation has dropped a lot and the quality of the forum has really decreased. Just look at the postings the last few days. I follow a couple of different other forums, and they have strict...
