Islander Report. 6/7/08 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I almost forgot to tell about the run-in we had with the Mexican Navy. Everyone else was still sleeping, but I was up early and caught a quick glimpse what must have been a Mexican Navy Seal right after he boarded the boat before dawn.

Many people have been talking about problems with the Mexican Navy on recent fishing charters... Good thing I speak Spanish, because I was able to answer him calmly when he looked at me and said "Yo Quiero Fish Taco Bell!"

He then slipped off just as I snapped the photo, so I don't think anyone else saw him.

That's the first report I read about a real boarding by the MN.

Ive been boarded several times on the Chubasco 2. Not really a fun process. All that you can think of is "I sure hope that nobody was stupid and brought something they shouldn't have".

Usually its pretty quick. They'll check permits and maybe the engine room or fish hold then off they go to another boat. Never seen that particular crew member on the team at the Nado's though.
