Wow, that is bad!!

I saw the Renegade Mike floating this morning on a facebook post he put up! Lots of pangas sunk and a few others with nothing but the towers above the water line. One boat sitting on the landing with nothing more than the bow touching the water line at the ramp. Cabo is a mess! I also spoke with my friends at Redrum and all their boats came out unscathed as well as their homes and office. The colonies up in the barrio are devastated though and those poor people with dirt floors now have less than nothing. Its ugly. The Policia are standing guard at the grocery stores merely to keep people from getting hurt while they loot not to stop them from looting.

Just add Cabo to the long list of places who's residents and officials didn't seem to take the threat of a hurricane seriously.......until one hit.

Just got cell and Internet at the marina. Still nothing at my house. I am doing okay. Have generator power and plenty of food and water. All the retail stores got looted including Costco. The real concern now is home invasions. Most nieborhoods have set up night time watches. I have a Rottweiler and street mutt that are protecting me and my family.
Lots of disparate people rooming the streets. Banks have not opened and most were damaged due to their big windows blown out. Have not seen any food relief trucks yet but word is they are on the way.
With all the devastation not sure when cabo will be up and running. This new storm (polo) is looking like it will miss us by plenty. Will try and post again tomorrow.

Glad to hear that he is doing as well as could be expected.

I have a co-worker who went to Cabo for her honeymoon -- she managed to get cell service yesterday. She was told the Mexican Millitary is protecting the 20,000 plus americans that are trapped there currently. That must be conforting! She said the airport is destroyed, looting everywhere, and it stinks to all hell. So far she doesn't have a way home, yet.

Apparently there will be no worries about a birth coming anytime soon -- they haven't had any alone time, lol!

She wouldn't be the first bride to have a bun in the oven when the nuptials took place... Just saying :-)))

Some areas already getting power so it should not be long before we all have it. Drinking water is starting to be available in areas. Plenty of gas stations are open. Seeing more and more military around and lots of electrical workers. Heard over 4000 electrical poles went down.
Things are slowly getting better. Marina staff starting to clean up the marina area. Lots of debris in the water. Once power is restored through out the rebuilding process will start. Food should start to pour in here real soon if not already.
It's going to be a long rebuilding to get back to what was cabo but it could of been much worse. I would say most charter boats are okay. Just asked marina staff about fuel dock and they say no major damage.
This will be the longest time I have not been out fishing in many years. Can't wait to be out on the open ocean again. Thanks to many of you that have offerd to send me money. I am okay for now. Please be patient on cancelletion deposits. It might be at least a month before I can get some cash flow going.
