"July, August, and September are the "hot" months in San Carlos. The
daily temperatures soar into the 100's, and nighttime temps plummet to
the 80's. As un-acclimatized gringos -- these temperatures were
unbearable by late June. In August and September, the Monsoon season
arrives to bring rain and humidity."

Ughh, no thanks.

"One of our après-dinner excursions with friends on Citation and
Crusader, found us chatting and dancing at nearby Tequila's -- the
marina night-life hot spot. A live band did great covers of Santana
and other popular bands, as well as some authentic Mexican ballads.

During the first set, the Federal Police entered the bar with M-16's
and AK-47's poised. They blocked the exits and searched the crowd for
their suspects. A friend of the absent owner took the microphone and
tried to assure everyone (in English) that this type of thing happens
all the time."

Ughhh, no thanks.

Well, Marina Seca has expanded dry storage in Guaymas. This is in
addition to the over 600 boats in the yard at San Carlos. Check out the
rates:

Speaking of that area....
what ever happened to the squatters who were evicted by the lawful
authorities? Did their whining produce any results?

I missed it the first time, but it was amazing at how calm the water
was. The boat was moving at a good clip, seemed to be a nice beam
reach, you could hear the wind blowing in the mic, but the water was
extremely smooth. Perfect sailing.

First, I do not agree with your description of the lawful American
owners as squatters. Second, you are confusing San Carlos, Sonora with
Punta Banda. Punta Banda is on the Pacific coast just south of San
Diego. Third, there ARE lessons to be learned by this incident:

Skipper's posting the trips of others again?

Yes, but it's not a bad read, nothing that has convinced me to set
sail for that part of the world however.
