Destination: Cabo - The Long Way - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm surprised he made it past Ensenada Bay. Disappointed he didn't get to SQ.,good fish right now. If its the weather that changed his plan,just think what Guerrero Negro (Turtle Bay) weather is like now

. I have called him and left texts many times in the past 24 hrs. but no response. He must be mad at me.

. At least he seems to be making progress south...whether by land or sea you can't go wrong..

Well, that confirms it. He made it across Baja and re-entered sea of cortez. Good luck on the next leg, it will be lots more doable without all the huge surf and wind in your face...

I'd rather take the chop and swells, at least the water is cold...
San Felipe in July, guess it's not as bad as it is in August, hoping for him it's not too hot and he's got plenty of agua.
Treacherous tide drops...

What an adventurer though, willing to adapt and adjust to do whatever it takes to reach the destiny.

I've been thinking alot about Dave. I'll never forget
how hard he fought to figure out La Jolla. He must of
put in thousands of posts before he caught his first fish.
And all the while getting negative pm's from people who
thought he was fishing too much.

Dave will figure it all out. Hell, not only will he catch fish,
but I'm sure there will be a Mexican Bride in every bay
he stays in.

Keep going Dave, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have a spot and here is how it works. Depending on the subscription you have it can track automaticly every 10 minutes as well as whenever you press the ok button. It appears that he did not opt for the auto tracking or just is not activating it and each point marked he is doing manually pressing the OK button.

There are 5 buttons on the spot that will mark your GPS point, one is a tracking option that reports your position every 10 minutes, One is the OK button that is what Dave appears to be using and send your position when pressed, Another that is a custom message (Wooo Hooo fish on, Bull Elk down! Whatever you pre-program), Another that is a help button that is also a custom message button that is requesting assistance from specific pre-determined people, and the last one is the SOS button that is for serious emergiencies.

Appears to me he has just had a change of plans and all is ok so far. Crossing over land like he did he would have had access to phones and should have in my opinion had someone post here as to what has happened since he has set it up for so many people to follow his trek.
