If you are parking in Guadalajara - OJO - as they say!!

There are new machines in Gdl for parking -I took a pic of them and decided to post it so you would see what they look like. It means that on that BLOCK that machine is the KING.

San Fransico To Loreto Oct. 25th 2005 Voyage

left SF Tuesday, 12:01am with clear skies. Headed for Ensenada, Mexico, our first scheduled port. This was the first time seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, as the last trip 2 years ago was fog laden. We went through the potato patch (a rough area in the SF bar) an hour or so later only to be pushed Northwest of our planed route by heavy seas. We finally made the turn south with overcast skies. Only 1400 miles to go. The night was eventful as the skipper became ill and had to turn the helm over to m… Continue
