    Fortunately when I bought my boat I was told that it had an outstanding TIP. I hired an attorney in San Diego that specialized in removing them and for "only" $500 it was removed before I sailed to Mexico. You were VERY lucky to have been able to work it out once in Mexico! Have a great time in Mexico, I spent 2 1/2 years there before sailing to the South Pacific but I returned to Mexico after 1 1/2 years in the S Pacific and am happy to be living in Mexico again! BTW The Marina Coral people are great but it is getting expensive there. Ben S/V DAWN

    Boy, does Ensenada look different since I was there last. Did you go to or see Husong's Cantina? Please let me know. It was 1967, and three of my friends and I went down to surf from LA and ended up at Husongs. Let me know if you did and I'll tell you the rest of the story. It was hilarious and scary at the same time. It included the Federalies.

    • @sailingavocet

      @@sailingavocet I was 1967. We went down in my '65 VW Bus. I was just standing there having a beer when all of a sudden, the girls from the University of San Diego jumped up on the bar and started dancing topless. It was quite a show. Then the police arrived and started cleaning house. I jumped through an open window on the side of the building, walked over to a street vendor, and ordered a couple of tacos. While I stood there innocently, I saw my buddies running down the street. What a night. LOL. Keep having fun guys.

      Be glad you’re not a cursed sailor. It never stops calling your name . What they just did was really hard . Go get a boat like that and make it happen. Then you will respect what you just watched . Put all the videos together it becomes an odyssey you will never forget .
