His location says ‘in paradise’ so I’m guessing he’s not in the Tijuana area….

Re: Urgent request from local boaters

Yes. I find it generally is very convenient, to not be in Tijuana.

Are you implying I don’t own a boat? Do you actually own a boat or why are you on CF?

Normally the ones who get triggered by such remarks are the ones who in this case don’t actually own a boat but are still on a cruisers forum.

Anyway, I’m not in the neighborhood, but you are.

Oh, you have a boat? Then why don't you sail it to Tijuana and check out the veracity of your buddy's story?

What's that you say? It's not convenient for you? You can't be bothered? Then where do you get off chiding anybody else for not doing it?

Seeing as his boat is on the Atlantic side it would be kinda hard to get there in time.. like in the next week..
That's assuming the OP's boat actually exists.

Tijuana is on the Pacific side. Brain fart perhaps.

And, while it has been said by others, including me already, I feel the need to say it again - it's an open roadstead. No one would anchor a boat there except on the calmest of days, for lunch perhaps, certainly no sane person would anchor a boat there and go ashore! Which leads me to conclude the op is either fibbing, or is insane.

Insanity is nonstop cerebral flatulence.
