Sandra here, I'm sure we've meet somewhere you look very familiar ;o)
I can't join you on your trip but after checking out the link you sent we are considering driving down after Christmas for a week. I'd love to call you and pick your brain about the trip, wind, camping, Safety issues etc.
If that's cool w/you, what's a good time to give you a call?
thanks a million!
Sandra

Hi All,
I am looking for someone to ride down with me to La Ventana, the best wind on the Baja Peninsula!
I'll be traveling the second week of Dec. About a four-day trip, towing a travel trailer via Nogales, Los Mochis, Topolobampo Ferry and La Paz.
For you, a free one-way trip - I will pay for food, ferry and camping fees and of course gas.
Looks wet for South Texas and southern NM thru most of the
winter and spring…

Possible wetter winter for nthe frozen H2O folks and
possible higher water levels in the lakes for the sailors.
JFM-3 (SE NM) has much improved historic and verification skill (+19 for HSS
IND. and +40 for HSS'00-09) over last month's negative values. Unfortunately,
it shows yet another undecided (+/-1%) forecast. Climatological odds remain the
safest bet for now, even though this region has shown a historic preference for
wet El Niño winters.
JFM-4 (NE NM) features the most optimistic forecast for this season (+33%),
along with outstanding cross- validated and verification skill (+38 and +40,
respectively). This new forecast round has reaffirmed this optimistic forecast
which is also consistent with expected El Niño conditions.
JFM-5 (NW NM & SC CO) shows a modest tilt towards a wet winter (+2%).
However, cross-validated skill is much better (HSS-IND= +25) than verified
skill (HSS'00-08= -33). Nevertheless, El Niño winters have shown a tendency to
be wet in this region, so cautious optimism is still justified.
JFM-6 (SE CO) repeats the theme of 'wasting' good forecast skill (+36
verified skill in last decade) on small tilts in the forecast odds (-2%), while
cross-validated forecast skill is the lowest of this forecast round (HSS-IND=+9).
This is the part of Colorado that has the most consistent wet signal year-round
with El Niño conditions, so more optimism than the odds indicate is
justifiable.

Sounds like a great trip. I love the area. Just can't get a away at that time. Heads up, there are some other really cool places there on the east cape.
Cabo Pulmo has a national marine park and has the distinction of being the northernmost coral reef in Mexico. There's great diving,snorkeling and windsurfing there and the town is very laid-back. No electricity or phone. There is a contingent of diehard windsurfers there. A couple of guys live there and some just drift in and out. Ask for a displaced German named Rhinehart and he can give you details on sailing the area. There's unlimited free camping down the road at Los Frailles and camping at Cabo Pulmo for a very small fee. Several restaurants in Cabo Pulmo too.
Is it safe to assume you have property in La Ventana; you are leaving a trailer? I was wondering if you have experienced any break-ins? I have a lot in Cabo Pulmo and would like to build a casita or put a trailer there. I have heard rumors that there has been a rise in break-ins. It's hard to get any info as nobody seems to know anything or they are keeping it from public news. Have you any info?

Hi Barry,
Maybe you or someone could go down and fly back when you need to. I realize the 4-day trip eats up some water time... :^)
Wow! I’d love to go, but can’t quite fit in that long of a trip this time of year. Perhaps Gordon will be healed enough to take you up on the offer. Thanks for posting.

This is going out to anybody, or anybody you know, that might be interested in an Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga Workshop. See the attached flyer. The instructor, Jimmy Cardinale, is putting out feelers to gauge interest and has penciled in the Friday after Turkey Day. It’s still a maybe and Jimmy is trying to find a studio where the class would be gratis or close to.
For those of you that don’t know about Ashtanga I’ll try to refrain from preaching a sermon on how it’s turned my body around, but I will briefly state that Ashtanga is the mother of all flow/power/vinasa type yogas. Although you aren’t required to drink the Kool-Aid, Ashtanga is the real deal. BTW, your flexibility, or lack of, has nothing to do with the practice. Flexibility and strength, especially the core, are byproducts of this mental discipline.
If you have any questions or there’s an interest, let me know. If the interest is there, then look for a subsequent e-mail.

EverytimeIvisit,checking out from the world is always a concern! Fishing... eating... mmmmmm. We actually snagged a beach lot six years ago and I am headed down to improve a campsite for now. Family will join me for Christmas.
If I can address power, water and security, so it's convenient for others, it may become available as a low-lux, econo-vacation rental. Pictures definitely to follow...
Cheers,
Matt

Here's a gamble riskier than cards in Sin City: buy a piece of lake front property in northeastern New Mexico.
People with a few hundred dollars burning a hole in their pocket can bid on one acre lots near Conchas Lake Wednesday at the Fourth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas Wednesday. At 10 a.m. the state Taxation and Revenue Department will auction off 116 lots a half mile to a mile from the lake to recover $73,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest. The lots are among 1300 properties total San Miguel County turned over to the state last year for delinquent property taxes.

All -
Please check out this movie clip that Robby Seeger put together for us
“parents” (download link below). It shows Connor Baxter (15 yrs
old), Kai Lenny (17) and Graham Ezzy (18) windsurfing Peahi - and for
all of them – it was their first day at Jaws. Very exciting.
And, it is confirmed – Connor is the YOUNGEST person to windsurf JAWS!
Enjoy.
Photos are being sent to us everyday from photographers. It was a very special
day – and word got out fast that there were kids sailing Jaws. I’ll
be sending some photos to you as well.
Mahalo -
Karen, Keith – and Connor!!
