Buddha - we think alike

I was just pondering Gumbo or Jambalaya just before you posted. I guess i will just have to sit back and enjoy yours. For those that know Ascuncion, how is grocery shopping in the area? Specifically looking at vegetabbles, eggs, and possibly beef - the stuff that doesn't travel well for a week. Thanks

Next nearest town is 50 miles away, ASUNCION has veggies, eggs, beef , chicken, but not always up to USA standards or choices.

The beef is really lacking in Asunción. About the only beef you can get is a thinly sliced flap meat that would be great for beef jerky. No matter how I fix it it turns out like jerky. They some times have done big meaty beef ribs which is a great, bit I don't know what happens to the rest of the cow.

Just got back from a couple days of outrageous big yellowtail fishing between.Bahia Tortuga and Punta Eugenia. 4 fish totaling 167 pounds..Hopefully mt Loncheria with WiFi is open tomorrow so I can post some photos and the whole story.

I sent you a few PMs regarding the Thanksgiving meal.

Do you like stuffing I always like that for a thanksgiving dinner. A lot of the stuff can be cooked the day before so that we can eat early. Did you want to eat at 3:30? I like candied yams also and they are easy to make.

How does this sound?

Turkey, mashed potatoes candied yams, stuffing, gravy, and simple salad.

I can do it all and you can fish with the guys.

Let me know what time you want to have dinner.

Sorry Jeff, I forgot to respond to the PM. That all sounds great. I'm not a fan of stuffing myself but I am probably in the minority so go for it.. I'm hungry just thinking about the meal. Gravy lots of Gravy!.

Did you want everything done at 3:30 PM? What time did you want to have dinner?

Yup I'm thinking having everything ready to serve around 330 or 4. Gives everyone a chance to fish and clean up and then put on the feed bag. Might be some other folks popping in and out in the afternoon and evening. No way of predicting when or how many.

Ok then I will cook things in advance and probably get some fishing in the morning probably just calicos near your place instead of San Roque. 4 is more likely. You don't have to help you can go fishing.

BTW: Do you have enough serving bowls for everything that we are making; mashed potatoes, candied yams, stuffing, salad, veggies?

Also do you have a roasting pan with a rack to cook the turkey?

If you have a weber charcoal grill there I can cook the turkey on that also.

I know it sounds strange but if I had a dinner of french toast, hash browns or skillet potatoes with sausage or bacon I would not be unhappy.

You could also make a breakfast burrito for dinner also.

Absolutely agree Jeff. I for one am on the water well before breakfast so breakfast for dinner is not unusual.

Ross I edited a previous post and I guess you missed this.

I'm set with serving bowls and roasting pan with rack. I think I mentioned it before that I am short on plates. I will have plenty of paper plates but if you all like to eat a big meal off a hard plate, like I do,, bring one down with you.

Breakfast for dinner

I know it sounds strange but if I had a dinner of french toast, hash browns or skillet potatoes with sausage or bacon I would not be unhappy.

Ok - I make crazy French Toast, omelettes, etc. premade Latke's are way easier and I find more flavorful than hash brownns. And I am Recently diagnosed as diabetic, so cracking others out on my high carb creations would be a pleasure since I can't enjoy much myself.

As for bacon and eggs then - since I am coming down early, what is the availability of those items in the region? I can try to shop Saturday AM IN SD before heading down, but forgot the Baja 1000 is that weekend, so I may need to get lacrosse the border earlier (or maybe much later).

Still looking for recommendations on both more current, detailed road maps and/or ocean charts for the waters of Central, Pacific Coast Baja.

Bacon and eggs are always available in the village, and in my refrigerator.

As for maps, the seasoned Baja travelers carry the Baja Almanac. Great book of maps. Been out of print for a while but there is one place that sells then online yet. Can't put my fingers on the URL right now but I know Bob bought one in July so maybe he can help. Or try to Google it. AAA to also did maps for Baja which were pretty good. I heard that they too were out of print but may still be some available if you are a member.

Don't know about paper charts for the Pacific Baja. I always use the Navonics Web app on my laptop to zoom in on an area that I am interested. Difficult to print anything off the app but can be done with screen print. Google Navonics Web app and you will find it.

Good luck, nothing seems to be current, I do have a spare copy of the Baja Almanac That could be BORROWED to make copies from. It is the 2009 edition which was the last one printed. For charts you need to go to a chart store, most are also out dated but almost accurate. These are the charts boaters/cruisers use to sail the coasts of Baja and Mexico. Have never seem both map and charts combined would be cool but most boat or drive. If you find please let me know. You might want to get a copy of Charlie's Charts. Fish Maps also puts out 4 fishing charts for Baja. North, South Pacific side, and North, South Sea of Cortez, but again not current. Hope this helps.

Anyone doing Tackle Day & Oops - forgot about the Baja 1000

First, I am going to go through all my gear this week and be at Fisherman's hardware Saturday for the big sale. Load up on plastics, Seaguar, etc. Looking for suggestions for the Asuncion regulars, for targeting species and gear that we typically don't use for So CA - specially to get Wahoo from the Yak. As anyone else planning on going? I will head to Fastlane after to possibly get a sail for the PA.

So my plan was to load up Fri, 11/20 and head out early Sat, but forgot, that is the Baja 1000. If they race Sat on the 1, I think I will wait until Sunday to head down while everyone sleeps off their hangovers.

When I couldn't find my copy of the Baja Almanac (and discovered that they are long out of print, as the author passed away), I started researching an alternative. I discovered numerous posts over on Expedition Portal on the subject of Baja Mapsets. The most common response from all the off road crowd was to download the Motion X GPS app. Most of those guys are loading it onto iPads and installing iPad mounts in the chase vehicles for the Baja 1000. That's what I did and the trail and street detail is pretty darned good for all of Baja. (though it doesn't show the dirt trail we took out to the point at San Quintin)...
