Funny, the day we came back into port they'd emptied it and were in inside it scrubbing it down without hazmat suits[emoji1] [emoji1]
Cheers and have a great trip[emoji106] [emoji106]

So what's the drink package retail for? When we went for Brian's bachelor party I was very fortunate to win a few hundred on the last day at the casino to cover my bar tab, and this is after smuggling on a handle.

[HB Vic]

$230 each for the duration. I think I figured I'd have to drink 6-7 a day to break even.

lots of those money pits for sale around Alimitos Bay... My FIL dropped one million on his NEW and sold it to someone from HongKong for 450k... Be ready to spend some serious bucks on fuel....

He was packing twin 650hp cummins turbo diesels, Carver said, at that time they had not put that much HP in that small of a yacht, you could actually ski behind it...

I'm going to stand by my position, that Uncle Dave or RayLee's 2750 Lavey is the most versitile set up I've seen/been in yet... EASY to move/tow/launch and runs like a bat out of hell in some pretty serious wata...

[HB Vic]

Well Ensenada is quite a bit different from what I remember many years ago. Took a crazy bus ride to the blow hole, quite a bit different there too. I remember almost dying years ago trying to get a good view, now it's concrete and steps right up to the action.

55962

It rained, so I bought myself an umbrella [emoji23]

55963

Had lunch at this place and a couple margaritas. That was a few hours ago and I'm still standing, so it just be safe lol

55964

These crazy tourists couldn't get close enough on foot so they took kayaks....yeah, not [emoji52]

55965

The drug sniffing dogs were pretty friendly, but the handlers didn't want their picture taken, so I took their picture [emoji16]

I'm thinking a nice 30 of 32ft SeaRay or Larson that is able to be trailered. I really like the idea of being able to sleep in it over night whether it me on Mohave or at Catalina.

You bring up a good point re. Fuel. From what I have seen just browsing Craigslist is most have twin 350 or 454.

A few pics from yesterday. I really wanted to take my camera to shore, but just didn't think that was a good idea. So it stayed on the boat.

The harbor seems to really have changed/improved over the years. I have no idea when this happened, but when we used to come many years ago it looked nothing like this. Actually is a really nice harbor.

Home of the U.S. 90 Day club... :) Take possession of your yacht/boat in foreign waters and keep it there for 90 days to avoid sales tax...

I've not been to Ensenada yet, my FIL did his 90 days in Vancouver B.C. which was a very cool vacation... Literally...:smilies_mit_hut019:

I have tried to get the big bottle of Jack and every single time I'm on the boat, they are sold out. I say buy the bottle, you may not get another chance as they are not allowed to sell that size bottles in the states.

I am needing one as well, I can't make out the size on the Ketel, is it the 4 or 5 liter? I really want my Jack Daniels 5 liter.

Speaking of which I'm in Cancun again. If you are interested, I can see if they have any of those specialty bottles at duty free and bring one back. Just let me know. I'm leaving on sat.

Yeah Catalina was pretty boring lol

Loved the whole cruise though, just didn't like eating soooo much haha.

Next time we'll do the 3 day deal on a different boat. Imagination is pretty old and the commodes stink to high heaven. Other than that I think we'll do something different in Ensenada too. The vendors chasing you at the blow hole really didn't go over too well. Like back off senior and get out of my face lol. Almost not exaggerating though, it was that bad.

Those guys at the blow hole really piss me off as well, especially when they start grabbing you or the wife trying to have you go into their shop....Thats generally when I flip my lid.....Now when I go on that cruise...I get some local food and head straight to the bar and just drink there all day. lol

Lots of work and road repairs going on means money is flowing.
