Don Eddies is a safe compound, car parks in front of your room.

Here's what to expect at Don Eddies - kayaks on trucks to the right are in front of rooms. I will be sleeping outside in my hammock just to the right of where this picture was taken.

Here's what it looks like out at the point near the mouth of the bay:

And here is what I am most looking forward to - ( a nice halibut would be a bonus though)...

Sure was last year. If everyone shows up who said they would should be $400-500 in the pot. You can still sign up and fish, just show up at Don Eddies on the evening of the 23rd and put your hard earned money in the kitty. Hope to see you all there. Tight Lines amigos, remember the mexicans won last year.

Here are a couple excellent images of the SY border crossing and FMM info. Stole it from another forum and I wish I could give proper credit but thank you TMW from Baja Nomads.

This may help in getting your FMM.

Follow the red line to the area to park. Follow the blue line and go inside the bldg and walk to the area between buildings. The office is to your left. Fill out the paper work then go back inside the building to pay at the bank. There are two banks one on your left as you came into the building and one on your right as you went out near the FMM office. I'm not sure if you can pay at either as I've only used the one where you come in on the left. Anyway pay then go back to the office and get it stamped and signed.

Follow the yellow line to the toll road. Remember to stay right when you leave the entry gates.

You can also do the FMM after crossing the border. In the bottom picture, just under the Google Earth logo you can see some cars parked. Park over there and walk back to that same building. Of course, if you are just doing the several day tourist FMM, you do not need to pay...

A disappointing morning so far. I headed out to my kayak launch spot at el faro and it seems that the combination of high tides and high surf made the 4 miles of dirt and sand out to the point impassable. At least for me. Lots of mud and standing water. I followed a local towing a panga for a while but he came to an area that even he with his high clearance 4WD was hesitant about. He did continue on but I chose to abort. I might head up to Socorro or Tranquillo and look at conditions there but I'm afraid the surf is going to keep me on the beach today. Hope the beach road improves before Saturday or I will have to go to plan B, and I don't have a plan B.
