La Paz Trip...Everyone Finally Here...Let the Games Begin!

Report From Jonathan...

Hola amigos!
Well, everyone finally got here. The last bus load of 5 headed by Sheldon Bergman finally arrived. Everyone has been trickling in over the last 2 days but all the bodies have finally been counted to let the games begin. As you're reading this, I have all of them fishing at Las Arenas and hopefully hooking fish! I wanted to post up some stream-of-consciousness thought to keep everyone up-to-date!
1. Joe and the crew that came down on Aero Cal from Tijuana almost were not let on the plane for coming too late! It seems that just when everything is finally set, something else happens! Anyway, they agreed to let Joe and his nine aboard, but then the computer broke down and they had to hand-write each ticket!
2. Scott Beutel and Steve Thompson got in two days early and were nursing hangovers by the time I found them. Steve would later indulge in too many of our huge La Paz raw oysters and regret eating so much rich food. Our oysters are so huge you DO taste them when you swallow!
3. Since not everyone was here yet, a bunch of the folks went out to Tecolote Beach at the end of the highway to surf fish and hang out .No one caught anything, but Scott Beutel hooked onto something that he couldn't stop before it busted off. Everyone else re-discovered the joys of lying on the beach drinking heavy duty margueritas. Allen Welle's wife Patty pinched the waiters butt and he gave her his phone number. Rumor has it she was flashing on the beach!
4. Speaking of flashing...most everyone ended up in the pool this afternoon. Someone produced a big bottle of Correlejo tequila. Pineapple Joe did 10 shooters (everyone including him lost count)! We never see Joe get hammered, but Joe got ripped. He was hilarious and then started mooning people at the pool! Do you have that image in your head? Well, for good measure he did it again and again for anyone who wanted a photo. There were two small boys at his end of the pool who could not get away fast enough! His roommate, Mike Thompson (Flipper) retired Joe from the field and led him away to his room!
5. Larry Brussard (Buzzard) arrived wearing a kilt. Yep..one of THOSE! He claimed he was secure in his own manliness to wear a skirt and didn't hesitate to tell you it was the "coolest" thing for hot weather since he was totally "commando" underneath. "Chick dig it!" claims Larry. "They always ask what I have underneath!" Plus whenever it gets hot, "I just stand with my legs apart and feel the breeze."
6. Allan Welle and Dave Watt were walking back with the group from the Bismark Seafood Restaurant the first night and had beers in their hands. They were stopped by our two of our local cops for having open containers and were told to spread eagle on the hood of a car. One officer told Al that he was "training" the other cop so if Al would just go along with it all would be cool. Al has a habit of putting trash in his pocket so as not to litter. When they did a search of him, they found in his pocket all his cigarette butts and pieces of balled up tinfoil. Oh-oh...they had a REAL bust on their hands! However, they found nothing and Al and the cops all laughed about it and the cops told 'em to put the beers in plastic cups and it would be OK to go cruising.
7. Sheldon Bergman and 4 other guys made separate arrangments to come up from Los Cabos to La Paz. It's a 3 hour drive. They were half-way to La Paz when the driver of their van got a call that he had forgotten 2 guys at the airport! So, in the dark, they turned and had to drive all the way back to Cabo to get the two guys. Sheldon and the boys were NOT happy and did not arrive until 10 p.m. tonite, the last of the group to get here.
Most everyone went out for steak dinners tonite. Taking them all to Las Arenas today (Saturday)for the first "official day" of fishing. Been some tuna, dorado, roosters, and pargo hitting so hopefully we'll get them bent. After that, I have a big beach swim party and carne asada barbecue set up for everyone on the beach.
I'll keep you posted. Wish us luck! Seems like so far, everyone is having fun! Glad to finally have everyone here.
Cheers!
Jonathan

Hilarious!!!! And to think... it just started...

Not even a hardcore BajaDave/Hammerhead story yet... and Pina's already three sheets... Pat's pinching waiters' asses... OMG, look out!

I remember you guys saying someone would end up in jail before this was over. Hopefully the local authorities will get to know these are a good group of guys and are just cutting loose and mean absolutely no harm.

I DO NOT want any pics of Pineapples antics from the pool posted

How in the heck does a Van Driver forget 2 people - how many people can fit in a van anyway ???

Sounds like a WILD time for sure and I can't wait for the next installment as this story is bound to get GOOD - REAL GOOD - heck it already is ! ! !

Go gettem guys - have a great time and as said LET THE GAMES BEGIN

**Joey805** · 09-09-2006, 07:28 AM

Sounds like a great time. Wish I was there!

Ola amigo's...thanks for the report...

**Carnivore** · 09-09-2006, 09:38 AM

Ya well I was the jail designate but someone had to step up and take one for the team. Man this is just killing me but I couldn't be happier that they are having a great time.

A KILT???? hum.....

**Sinker** · 09-09-2006, 09:57 AM

Actually I thought it was BajaDave - Didn't we have a poll on this? Drew I think it was you if you ended up having to room with Joey. We were concerned you would end up in Jail and that we wouldn't have a webmaster extrordinare (sp?) cause you killed him. Remember all those tricks he had planned on playing on you.

Yeah, you two would have fit right in for sure. Actually if one of you went to jail I imagine the whole lot of you would have ended up going.

After all a Friend will bail you out of Jail BUT A REAL FRIEND will be in there with you saying "DAMN THAT WAS FUN" . . . .

**Carnivore** · 09-09-2006, 10:00 AM

Na hard to hold anyone in jail when someone steels a car then takes the car and ties a rope to the bars of the jail and pulls the whole wall down to get their friend out. Then again being really drunk it might just work hehehe.

ahhhhh good times!

I don't think it will be long before one or more of them wil do something regrettable, if you know what I mean. Joe mooning everybody? I had to look at the screen sideways when I read that! That is a sight that I hope never to see. And kilts in Mexico? That reminds me of a joke. Why do Scots wear kilts? Ask me in person and I'll tell you the answer. Future posts on this thread should get better and better. Go get 'em boys 'n girls!
