Hurricane Newton wreaks havoc in Guaymas and San Carlos
In the 26 years I have lived here I don’t believe I have ever seen real category 1 hurricane force winds, until hurricane Newton that is. Hurricane Newton certainly wasn’t a hurricane Jimena, but it was close. Wind meters at Marina Real were reported to register gusts of 70 knots. I thought I was… Continue Reading
Guaymas is about to have it’s yearly “informe”: A state of the city address if you will, Residents of San Carlos are producing their own “informe” for Guaymas
It is summer time and it is hot as hell out there on the streets of Guaymas and San Carlos. It is about to get hotter and I don’t mean in the sense of temperature. As I have documented in the past residents of San Carlos are “MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO… Continue Reading
Armed Robbery in Sector Bahia: The Police do nothing/ Did the Costa del Mar HOA contract the comandante to harass a local CDM resident over HOA transparency?
There are several businesses in San Carlos that are essentially “cash businesses”. Much of the money from these establishments never make it into a bank. Owners who run these types of businesses will usually pay their bills in cash, which means there are days when they have a significant amount of cash in their pockets.… Continue Reading

I want to share an experience with the residents of San Carlso that I recently had with one of our local realtors named Maria Carmen Ordaz Aquiar, who is the owner of Star Realty.

Could the Costa Del Mar HOA end up being dissolved with former board members brought up on criminal charges and face deportation?
There is little pleasure in saying I told you so. But I would be remiss if I did not say flat out that I do feel a small amount of pleasure in the fact that I did indeed in my first article I ever wrote regarding the HOA at Costa del Mar say at the… Continue Reading
The Beach Volley Ball Tournament was awesome: Destroying the Sand Dunes for the Event was a huge mistake!
Lets face it, anyone who went to watch the beach volley ball tournament the last weekend of Semana Santa over on San Francisco beach had to be impressed. Even though I was teaching a sailing course and only got out to see the finals on Sunday I thought the players were top notch and… Continue Reading
Could CEA (the water company) & the Municipality of Guaymas be taken to court for fraud?
I have extensively covered water issue’s here in San Carlos. Certainly one of the things that chaps my hide more than anything is the way the water company screws over residents of San Carlos.
