new west coaster

[johnnylite]

Sounds like the beginning of a " West Coast / Mexico caravan trip for fishin.
Maybe this summer we figure out a way to do it. There is always afety in numbers in Mexico especially with people who know their way around. Ensenada, San Quintin or anywhere would be fun.

Well, our plans have changed. I had said that we were planning for a 195 in December. My wife vetoed that. Instead she voted for a 215 at the end of May and a trip to Mulege this year, not next. We ordered the boat last week and I'm furiously ordering equipment to equip the 215 when it arrives, probably middle to late May. I'll have three to four weeks to bolt on all the goodies and put 20 hours on the engine before towing to Baja Sur.

We hope to be in Mulege with our new boat, the "No Nonsense" about the 15th of June. If any of you know some nice folks in Mulege that would like house sitters for the summer, (with compensation of course) please refer them to me, gneuburger@yahoo.com.

Will post picts and details when the "No Nonsense" arrives and I bolt on all the goodies.

Now who said "change is bad."? Sounds like you've got a great first mate there! Enjoy!

I am expecting my new 2006 Triumph 195CC to be delivered next Saturday. This is my first real boat. I would really like to hook up with other Triumph owners. If you'd like to buddy boat some time over to Catalina, let me know. I also just joined the Vagabundos del Mar trailer boat club with the intention of heading down to Baja with some more expericed people.

I'll be heading to Mulege, Baja Sur on June 13th with expected arrival in Mulege on the 16th. That's if everything goes right and my boat's delivered in time. If that fits your schedule I'd be happy to buddy boat down.

I recieved a fishing report yesterday. The grass is in and so are the dorado.

Wonder if our two boats are on the same truck. If so, he'll probably come to NorCal first and drop mine off before driving south.

My boat has actually been delivered to the dealer already. They had to send it out for a custom cover, and they are in the process of rigging it now. I'd love to take the trip down to Mulege, but I'm a total novice. I'll eventually get down there for sure, but I'm going to take it slow because I have never towed, launched, or piloted a boat offshore before. I would like to learn what to do on local waters before tackling Baja. I'll extend an offer to anybody who wants to show me the ropes: Free ride on a new 195CC.

Hey, sounds great. I'll meet you at Leesylvania Park (Virginia) on Saturday...say about 6:00 a.m. That should give you enough time to tow it to the East Coast, right?
