I wouldn’t let that stop you man. A lot of it is media hyped but I understand where you are coming from. But these trips are almost always in big numbers and caravan drive down style trips. I’ve never felt less than confident for my safety in Baja but I have also been going down since I was in diapers.

I understand your meaning and I respect your decisions. I've enjoyed a colorful life already and I consider myself fortunate to still be alive and healthy as I creak into my Golden Years. I still take calculated risks all the time by my nature, but it has to be for the right reasons. I try to slip past unnecessary trouble that is out of my control.

Safety in numbers and with a caravan is a smart way to do it. You can all help each other. I wish the best for you and everyone else who enjoys the exquisite paradise of Bob's Makoville. What he shares with his fishing buddies and kindred spirits is kind and generous beyond words.

I had a Cessna Skyhawk (a puddle-jumper) for about 10 years that I've flown to Gonzaga Bay. The natural beauty of Gonzaga Bay and many places around Baja is exhilarating and breathtaking. It's so amazing it makes me drunk with excitement. On my last Cessna trip to Baja, the military honcho who runs the airport next to Cabo San Lucas threatened to detain me and confiscate my airplane if I didn't cough up the "parking fee" (i.e. extortion money) he was demanding. I was simply an easy target of opportunity and the first fish he caught at the crack of dawn that morning. According to my insurance agent, confiscation by foreign government officials is not considered theft, and therefore not covered. I prefer to stay under the radar now and sip my margaritas north of the border

Anyway, if you guys need help maybe our new friend FatAmy will teach us how to do an exfil.
