I wasn't able to find much information on Marina Fonatur La Paz in
Rains' Mexico Boating Guide or the Noonsite website so here's a summary
of what I learned:

They monitor VHF 74. Hail them as Marina Fonatur or Marina Singlar
(even though their website says they're called Marina La Paz or
Marina Turistica La Paz).
I was able to contact them once on VHF 16 but VHF 74 is a better bet.

The "Geographic Location" waypoint they give on their website is
NOT where the marina is located. It's about 2.2nm NE of the marina.
It's the waiting area where a pilot boat will come and lead you in.

This is Jorge Martinez the proprietor of Tour In El Salvador (www.tourinelsavador.com) with my new long board. He leads excellent tours and caters to cruisers (post-tour shopping trips, etc.). Jorge took me to a surf shop in San Salvador after I struck out in the surf towns of La Libertad and Playa El Tunco. He even negotiated a reduced price for me. Whatta guy.

And now for something completely different: San Jose, CA 1997 This is the "bringup" team at Exponential Technology, Inc. We are popping champagne corks to celebrate booting MacOS on our x704 microprocessor first silicon. This was Jim Blomgren's startup before founding Intrinsity . Intrinisity designed the A4 microprocessor powering the iPhone 4 and got bought by Apple last year. I guess I should be kicking myself for not going to work there in 1998 when they asked me to...but twelve years until cash out, who has the patience??? (this moment in computer history brought to you by the Telcel Banda Ancha 3G cellular modem. The modem is made by ZTE, a mainland China company. With all the recent talk about "back doors" and "kill switches" it kinda makes you wonder...)
