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

sure looks like.

Come to think of it, I don't recall he really specified he was going to paddle down the Pacific side of Baja, or maybe I just missed it?

Oh-Oh. This does not sound good. My first thoughts are stolen gear. Unless, of course, he decided to navigate the new Encinada to San Felipe Canal.

With all the planning he put into this, what are the chances that he would make such a huge detour. Does he check in by phone with someone from time to time? I sure hope so.

I was not one of the majority that thought this trip was a good idea. Hopefully there is a reasonable explanation and all is well.

Was thinking the same thing. I don't believe that he would change his plans last min.

Too much goes into trip planning, to do this.

Anyone have an update?

It can get pretty ugly fast down in that direction, not to mention some safety concerns.

If he is in trouble or needs something brought down Im southbound as soon as I can next week. He has my number but somebody PM me if he has lost it and needs something.

As far as I knew the plan was down the Pacific side..

Dont have one myself but....
I'm pretty sure you have to push the OK button to get the OK message(its not automatic) and there is an SOS button on the SPOT messenger also.....
Not 100%....but he should be ok. Hopefully rerouted for a good reason

there has been a lot of south swell and hopefully he is heading to the Cortez side for a easier route

Anyone know if he was carrying a satellite phone? I would imagine his family and close friends are aware of his change in plans.

wow looks like he is about 50 miles south of san felipe checking in at 10 p.m. does not sound right to me! But i hope everything is ok...

booming south swell must have been tuff on the paddle and landings. Hope he hitched a ride to the gulf side....
